During the 80s [[Canek]] basically main evented the UWA cards against every foreign big name available. Some of his most memorable matches were the one in which he defended his UWA title bodyslamming and defeating Andre the Giant in two straight falls (Feb 12, 84), his 3rd fall draw against Hulk Hogan (Sept 2, 84), and his title defense against "The Lariat" Stan Hansen (Sept 30, 84) which he won via DQ. Of course Canek would also defend and trade his UWA title with national talent, in fact, from mid-83 to late-89 the UWA wouldn't have a foreign heavyweight champ (though Killer had a foreign rudo gimmick). Some of the national workers Canek wrestled against were Perro Aguayo, Scorpio, Enrique Vera, Villano III and Dos Caras.

Los Hermanos Espanto made their debut as a tag team on January 24 of 1961, winning a tag team tournament after teaming Tony López and Kiko Córcega. After that debut, they had an undefeated streak of 34 weeks (always on Tuesday), which bumped them directly to the Friday Arena Mexico cards without going first through the seasoning at the Sunday Arena Coliseo shows like most others had to do. As a team, Espanto I and Espanto II were National tag team champions (defeating Santo and Rayo de Jalisco in 1966 at Arena México) and also they were featured several times on the official NWA "top 10 tag teams of the world" list. They also were given the chance to wrestle the legendary NWA world heavyweight champion Lou Thesz in tag team matches - one at Arena Mexico when Thesz teamed with Blue Demon, and one in Puebla where Thesz joined forces with Huracán Ramírez. Espanto II fondly remembers those bouts as some of the best in his career.
