Virus

Virus (1998–present) In early 1998, he made his debut as part of the regular-sized division under the name "Virus"; no mention was made that Virus used to work as Damiancito El Guerrero or that he still held the CMLL World Mini-Estrella Championship. On May 7, 1998, Virus defeated El Oriental to win the vacant Mexican National Lightweight Championship, a title CMLL had brought back to help showcase smaller workers like Virus. By 1999, CMLL decided that it was time to crown a new World Mini-Estrella Champion, as Virus was still technically the champion despite not having worked as a mini for more than a year. Instead of making Virus return to the Minis division to lose the title, CMLL decided to give the championship to Ultimo Dragoncito and announced that Ultimo Dragoncito had "won" the title on an undisclosed day in October 1999. After having been a rudo (a heel, or bad guy) his entire career, Virus was turned tecnico ( aface or good guy) in 2002. In 2003, he took part in a series of matches between CMLL tecnicos, himself, Ricky Marvin and Volador Jr., and a group called "the Havana Brothers" based out of southern California that consisted of Rocky Romero, Ricky Reyes and T. J. Perkins. The well received series of matches between the six led CMLL to create the CMLL World Super Lightweight Championship. Romero became the first champion but lost the title to Virus on November 14. In 2005, Virus was turned rudo once more and generally used to help young, high-flying tecnicos gain more experience. Over the summer of 2006, Virus represented CMLL in All Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW)'s Junior Heavyweight League tournament. He ended up winning only one match, defeating MAZADA, but lost to Katsuhiko Nakajima and Katsushi Takemura, failing to advance in the tournament. On October 2, 2007, Virus won CMLL's recurring Reyes del Aire ("Kings of the Air") tournament, outlasting 11 other competitors in a torneo cibernetico, lastly eliminating Valiente to win the match.

When El Satánico started working a reduced schedule in late 2008, Virus became the unofficial leader of Los Infernales, teaming with Euforia and Nosferatu. With Satánico's reduced schedule, Virus also took over a large portion of the training that El Satánico had been responsible for earlier. In a later interview, he commented that he always wanted to become a trainer and was surprised at how quickly it happened.

Los Cancerberos del Infierno (2009–present)

At a CMLL press conference on November 19, 2009, it was officially announced that Virus was the leader of a new CMLL group called Los Cancerberos del Infierno (Spanish for "the Infernal Cerberos"), a group that, beyond Virus, consisted of Euforia and Pólvora, as well as two new characters, Cancerbero and Raziel. Cancerbero and Raziel previously worked under the ring names Messala and Caligula, otherwise known as Los Romanos, a low card rudo tag team. On April 15, 2010, Virus was one of eight wrestlers to compete in a steel cage match where the last man in the cage would be unmasked. The match came down to Virus and Super Brazo after Texano Jr., Máximo, Okumura, Rush, Taichi and Tony Rivera had left the cage. In the end, Virus was able to climb out of the cage as well, forcing Super Brazo to have his hair shaved off as per the Lucha de Apuestas stipulations. Once promoted, Demus 3:16 joined Los Cancereros and almost immediately started to develop friction with Virus, as Demus 3:16 tried to take over as the leader of the group. The storyline came to a conclusion on March 11, 2011, when Virus defeated Demus 3:16 in a Luchas de Apuestas match, which let Virus keep his position as the leader of Los Cancerberos del Infierno and send Demus back into the Mini-Estrellas division. As a result, Virus participated in the 2011 Universal Championship tournament, but lost to Averno in the first round. In early 2012, Virus began working an extended storyline against fellow rudo Loco Max, as part of an ongoing rivalry between Los Cancerberos and Los Guerreros Tuareg. On March 12, Virus defeated Loco Max in a Lucha de Apuestas match, forcing Loco Max to have his hair shaved off. After a four-year reign, including eight successful championship defenses, Virus lost the title to Dragon Lee on April 5, 2015. At the CMLL 82nd Anniversary Show on September 18, he, Disturbio and Puma defeated Esfinge, Fuego and The Panther. On January 1, 2016, at Sin Piedad ("No Mercy"), Los Cancerberos defeated Blue Panther Jr., Esfinge and The Panther. In early 2018, Virus and Disturbio participated in a tournament for the vacant CMLL Arena Coliseo Tag Team Championship, defeating Arkangel de la Muerte and Espanto Jr. in the first round, Flyer and The Panther in the semi-finals and Magnus and Sensei in the quarter-finals, before losing to Esfinge and Tritón in the finals on March 10. In early 2019, Virus feuded with Metálico, who challenged him to a hair vs. hair match. However, Virus, frustrated by his recent losses to him, instead suggested a career vs. career match, which was made official for Juicio Final ("Final Judgement") on May 31. At the event, Virus defeated Metálico to end his 29-year career.

In February 2020, Virus and Disturbio entered a 16-team tournament for the reintroduced Mexican National Tag Team Championship, defeating Pegasso and Stigma in the first round before losing to El Hijo del Villano III and Templario in the quarter-finals. At the CMLL 87th Anniversary Show on September 25, Los Cancerberos unsuccessfully challenged Nueva Generación Dinamita (El Cuatrero, Forastero and Sansón) for the Mexican National Trios Championship. They won the now-vacant titles on April 24, 2021, defeating Guerrero Maya Jr., Star Jr. and Stuka Jr. in a tournament final. The following month, Caristico defeated Virus in the first round of the Leyenda de Plata. On May 11, 2022, Los Cancerberos vacated the championship after Raziel's sudden death the month prior and introduced Luciferno as a new member of the group. At Homenaje a Dos Leyendas on March 17, 2023, Virus lost to Titán. On September 16, at the CMLL 90th Anniversary Show, Virus, El Satánico and Fuerza Guerrera lost to Atlantis, Blue Panther and Octagón. At Noche de Campeones ("Night of Champions") on September 29, he unsuccessfully challenged Mistico for the NWA World Historic Middleweight Championship.

At Sin Salida ("No Escape") on January 2, 2026, Virus was part of a 16-man steel cage match where the last man in the cage lost his hair or mask; he managed to escape the cage and keep his hair. Virus again saved his hair by submitting Calavera Jr. I in the Octagonal Infernal, an eight-man reverse elimination match, on March 20 at Homenaje a Dos Leyendas.

New Japan Pro-Wrestling (2016–2024) In January 2016, Virus made his debut for New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) by taking part in the CMLL and NJPW co-produced Fantastica Mania 2016 tour. On the fifth show, he unsuccessfully challenged Dragon Lee for the CMLL World Lightweight Championship.

On December 3, 2022, Virus returned to NJPW on Strong, teaming with Atlantis Jr. in a loss to Adrian Quest and Rocky Romero. At the Resurgence pay-per-view on March 21, 2023, he and Bárbaro Cavernario defeated TMDK (Bad Dude Tito and Zack Sabre Jr.). On August 30, 2024, at Capital Collision, Virus and Hechicero unsuccessfully challenged TMDK's Mikey Nicholls and Shane Haste for the Strong Openweight Tag Team Championship.

Major League Wrestling (2024–2025) Virus made his debut for Major League Wrestling (MLW) during a taping of War Chamber II on March 29, 2024 (aired on April 20), losing to Star Jr. via submission. On April 5, 2025, at Battle Riot VII, he participated in the 40-man Battle Riot match for the MLW World Heavyweight Championship, but was eliminated by Raj Dhesi. At Symphony of Horrors on October 25, he unsuccessfully challenged Templario for the MLW World Middleweight Championship.
