	In 1942 got a contract to wrestle in Bolivia and Peru. When he came back to Argentina, he joined to Karol Nowina's roster who annually organized Catch Tournaments at Luna Park in Buenos Aires.

	When [[Martin Karadagian]] owned most of the Argentinean wrestling, Gattoni found a real life antagonist. They never had a match in the ring, but both had opposite ideologies about professional wrestling. Karadagian preferred the spectacle. Gattoni, on the other hand, believed in the sportsmanship and the philosophy of Lucha Libre. Clearly, Argentina was not place for both, for this reason, Gattoni went to different countries including Brazil and the United States.
