	Espectro started out as a "heavy welterweight", almost a middleweight, but with the years he became bigger and became a light heavyweight. He was a National Light Heavyweight champion twice as well. Back when there was independent lucha shows at the Cine Politerama, Espectro tried to become an independent wrestler, but that attempt failed and he returned to EMLL.		Espectro started out as a "heavy welterweight", almost a middleweight, but with the years he became bigger and became a light heavyweight. He was a National Light Heavyweight champion twice as well. Back when there was independent lucha shows at the Cine Politerama, Espectro tried to become an independent wrestler, but that attempt failed and he returned to EMLL.

	He also often teamed with Karloff Lagarde, who was one of his two best friends in real life, and he became National tag team champion with Ray Mendoza, who was his other best friend. And even though they didn't win any titles together, his most memorable team partners were the original Karis La Momia and El Espectro II.		He also often teamed with Karloff Lagarde, who was one of his two best friends in real life, and he became National tag team champion with Ray Mendoza, who was his other best friend. And even though they didn't win any titles together, his most memorable team partners were the original [[Original Karis La Momia \| Karis La Momia]] and [[Espectro II]].

	At some point during 1959 or 1960, he lost the National Light Heavyweight title to Tarzán López at Arena México, and in a decision that shocked everybody, he unmasked himself, revealed his real name and said that he was retiring.		At some point during 1959 or 1960, he lost the National Light Heavyweight title to [[Tarzán López]] at Arena México, and in a decision that shocked everybody, he unmasked himself, revealed his real name and said that he was retiring.

	There was a good reason behind this retirement, though. Days before that retirement, in a match in Tampico against Joe Grant, Espectro injured his neck after receiving a badly executed piledriver, and the doctor ordered him to retire because he needed surgery.		There was a good reason behind this retirement, though. Days before that retirement, in a match in Tampico against [[Joe Grant]], Espectro injured his neck after receiving a badly executed piledriver, and the doctor ordered him to retire because he needed surgery.

	His surgery was quite expensive, and he could not afford it. His friend Karloff Lagarde, who was a wealthy man (all the money earned with lucha libre) offered to pay the 30,000 pesos bill, though in the end, ~~Chava~~ Lutteroth (Salvador Lutteroth's son) said that the Empresa would pay it. The doctor that performed the surgery, Dr. Carrillo, made them a half price so they only had to pay 15,000 pesos plus an extra 3,000 of nursery services. Also while he was inactive, the Union of Luchadores promoted several cards to collect money for Antonio.		His surgery was quite expensive, and he could not afford it.

Also while he was inactive, the Union of Luchadores promoted several cards to collect money for Antonio.

	He kept training during his semi-retirement and he came back during the first half of 1962, but without the mask he was not the same, and the Mexico City commission didn't let him wrestle there again due to his bad health, so he stayed around five or six more years wrestling in the smaller arenas and then he retired to become a lucha trainer at the Gimnasio Romano, located at the Vizcaínas street in Mexico City. Some of the wrestlers he trained are the original Espectro Jr. (AAA promoter Antonio Peña), the modern Espectro Jr., his sons Picudo (aka Espectro 2000) and Hijo del Espectro, and non relatives like Clímax I, Clímax II, Voltio Negro and Fuerza Guerrera.

	As a curiosity, he always kept in great shape even after retirement as he was an avid ~~practiser~~ of the art of yoga, a hobby he shared with his good friend Ray Mendoza.
