Maniaco

Los Rudos de la Galaxia In early 1997 Peña decided to form a rúdo group to feud with Los Cadetes del Espacio and formed a group called Los Rudos de la Galaxia ("The Villains of the Galaxy) among them a repackaged Perro Silva, who now wrestled as Maniaco. Maniaco teamed up with Abismo Negro, Mosco de la Merced, Histeria and March-1 and feuded with Los Cadetes del Espacio from the moment the group was formed. In 1997 AAA began a working relationship with the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), which resulted in the Cadetes vs. Rudos de la Galaxia feud being featured on the WWF Shotgun Saturday Night show as Discovery, Ludxor, Super Nova and Venum defeated Abismo Negro, El Mosco, Histeria and Maniaco. On June 15, 1997 Maniaco, Histeria and Mosco de la Merced appeared at Triplemanía V-B, defeating the team of Las Chivas Rayadas and Venum.

Los Vipers

In August, 1997 Cibernético formed a new "Super Rúdo" group called Los Vipers a group that absorbed most of the Los Rudos de la Galaxia members (Maniaco, Histeria, Abismo Negro, Mosco de la Merced) as well as Psicosis II. Los Vipers regained the Atómicos title on April 15, 2000 effectively ending the storyline with Los Vatos Locos. Los Vipers took part in an eight-man Steel cage match at Triplemanía X against Los Diabolicos (Mr. Condor, Ángel Mortal and El Gallego) and Gran Apache where the last wrestler in the cage would lose either his mask or be shaved bald. Maniaco was the last wrestler in the ring, and despite not being billed as being masked (he only wore a Zorro-style mask) he was unmasked following the loss.

After AAA Following his mask loss Manico left AAA and began working on the independent circuit, often working under the name Últímo Viper (Spanish for "Last Viper"). When Histeria and Psicosis left AAA in 2009 Maniaco began teaming up with them again, reforming the Los Vipers group again.

Los Invasores

On April 12, 2010 a contingent of former AAA wrestlers including Psicosis II, Histeria, Maniaco, El Alebrije and Cuije appeared on a Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) show in Puebla, Puebla. The group drown into the arena in a black SUV and attacked La Sombra, El Hijo del Fantasma and La Máscara after they just finished wrestling. Brazo de Plata, Místico and Jon Strongman tried to help out but were kept away by CMLL rudos Averno, El Texano, Jr. and El Terrible. Following the attack the former AAA wrestlers returned to the SUV and left the arena. The group made several subsequent attacks during CMLL shows, including running in during their Sunday Night Arena México show, indicating that the storyline was not limited to just the Puebla area. After weeks of run-ins the group, dubbed Los Independientes or "The Independents" after the "Independent circuit", wrestled their first match for CMLL. In their debut for CMLL on April 26, 2010 El Alebrije, Histeria and Psicosis defeated El Hijo del Fantasma, La Mascara and La Sombra. Since the beginning of the "Los Independientes" storyline neither Psicosis nor Histeria have worked on Perro del Mal events. On May 10, 2010, during a match between Los Independientes and CMLL wrestlers former CMLL and AAA wrestlers Universo 2000 and Máscara Año 2000 ran in to help Los Independientes beat up on their opponents, taking their side in the storyline between independent wrestlers and CMLL. Psicosis would be the first wrestler to face off against a CMLL wrestler in singles competition as he faced and list to El Hijo del Fantasma by disqualification. The team was later renamed Los Invasores. During a trios match between El Alebrije, Histeria II and Maniaco and the team of Héctor Garza, Brazo de Plata and Toscano, Garza turned on his team mates and joined Los Invasores. The following day in Arena Coliseo Olímpico returned to CMLL and attacked Máximo during the main event of the show, at the time it was not clear if he had actually joined the group of outsiders or not. Pro Wrestling Illustrated PWI ranked him #295 of the 500 best singles wrestlers of the PWI 500 in 2000
