(bad guy) character called El Potro ("The Colt
") teaming with Bombero Infernale and Sumo Fuji
against the team of Magnum Tokyo, Fantasy
and Niebelina on an International Wrestling Revolution Group
(IWRG) show. After wrestling as El Potro for two months he became the enmascarado

During the seven years he wrestled in AULL he won two Lucha de Apuesta, or bet matches, against Popetikus, both times earning the right to shave Popetikus' hair off after the match. It was also during this time that his style of mixing Hardcore wrestling
with high flying moves that earned him the nickname El Máximo Idolo Suicida de Tlalnepantla ("The Most Suicidal Idol of Tlalnepantla")
landed him a change to work for Asistencia Asesoría y Administración
(AAA), one of Mexico's largest wrestling promotions, when Crazy Boy hurt his back and needed someone to replace him in tag team matches. Último Gladiador joined the Mexican Powers and teamed with Juventud Guerrera
and Joe Líder
to make his AAA debut on February 10, 2008 in a match against La Familia de Tijuana (Halloween, Extreme Tiger
and T.J. Xtreme). Gladiador was only meant to be a temporary replacement for Crazy Boy, but when Juventud Guerrera left the promotion he was made a permanent member of the Mexican Powers. Gladiador took Guerrera's place in the scheduled TripleMania XVI
match where he teamed with Crazy Boy and Ricky Marvin
to defeat the teams of La Legión Extranjera
(Bryan Danielson
, Jack Evans
and Teddy Hart
) and La Familia de Tijuana. Último Gladiador participated in the 2008 Alas de Oro tournament, but was eliminated as the fourth man by Extreme Tiger. Gladiador and Crazy Boy also received a shot at the AAA World Tag Team Championship

match at Verano de Escandalo
but were defeated by La Hermandad Extrema (Nicho el Millonario and Joe Lider, who had left the Mexican Powers), in the match that also featured The Hart Foundation 2.0 (Jack Evans and Teddy Hart) and defending champions La Familia de Tijuana (Extreme Tiger and Halloween). In the following months the Mexican Powers disintegrated, leaving Último Gladiador working random matches.
's AAA World Heavyweight Championship
victory at TripleMania XVII, a group composed of Dr. Wagner, Jr, Silver King, Electroshock
and a now masked Último Gladiador was formed, taking the name Los Wagnermaniacos after the group leader Dr. Wagner, Jr. Gladiador later claimed that AAA told him to put on a mask, feeling that without it he wasn't looking mean enough to be a rudo
. At the 2008 Verano de Escandalo
event Electroshock, Silver King and Último Gladiador teamed up to defeat La Parka, Marco Corleone
and Octagón. At the 2009 Guerra de Titanes
Los Wagnermaniacos lost to El Elegido, Extreme Tiger and Pimpinela Escarlata
while Dr. Wagner, Jr. lost the AAA title to El Mesias.
At the 2010 Rey de Reyes
Electroshock won the world title, following the match Dr. Wagner, Jr. and the other Wagnermaniacos came to the ring to congratulate Electroshock. On a subsequent AAA show Dr. Wagner, Jr. asked Electroshock for a title match, a request Electroshock declined leading to a fight between the two. At a later show Silver King, interfered in a fight between the two by attacking his brother Dr. Wagner, Jr., siding with Electroshock. Silver King stated that he chose friendship over family and was siding with Electroshock in the storyline. The two, along with Último Gladiador became known as Los Maniacos Dr. Wagner, Jr. after turning técnico continued Los Wagnermaniacos with Pimpinela Escarlata and Octagón to even the numbers. On April 26, 2010 AAA confirmed on their website that Electroshock would defend the title against Dr. Wagner, Jr. In May, 2010 Silver King and Último Gladiador wrestled La Hermandad 187 (Nicho and Joe Lider) for the rights to wrestle for the AAA World Tag Team Championship at TripleMania XVIII
. The match ended in a draw and it was later announced that both teams would be part of a four-way tag team championship match at TripleMania XVIII. On June 6, 2010, at TripleMania XVIII, Gladiador and Silver Cain (Silver King under a new name) outlasted three other teams, pinning James Storm
of Beer Money, Inc.
to win the AAA World Tag Team Championship, Silver King's first AAA title. Following the match Los Junior Capos (Máscara Año 2000, Jr.
and Hijo de Cien Caras) from IWRG came to the ring to challenge the new champions for the title.
In spring of 2010 AAA began a storyline with IWRG, with the idea being that AAA was invading IWRG to show they were better than the IWRG wrestlers. Último Gladiador was one of the wrestlers featured in the feud, playing off his past in the IWRG. Gladiador's main focus has been Máscara Año 2000, Jr.
who he defeated in a singles match on May 20, 2010 by count out.
In September 2010 Último Gladiador and Silver King announced that they were joining La Sociedad
. Initially Electroshock made no official announcement on whether or not he would be following them, but agreed to represent the group at Héroes Inmortales IV
in order to get his hands on Heavy Metal, with whom he had been feuding the past weeks. However, on November 14 he announced that he was not part of La Sociedad and urged Último Gladiador and Silver King to leave the group. After Electroshock turned La Sociedad down for the second time on November 18, Último Gladiador and Silver King turned on him and beat him down with La Milicia. On November 27 Silver King officially kicked Electroshock out of Los Maniacos, while also announcing that his spot in the group would be taken by a new member. On December 5 at Guerra de Titanes
Silver King and Último Gladiador successfully defended the AAA World Tag Team Championship in a three–way ladder match
against La Hermandad 187 and fellow La Sociedad members Hernandez
and El Ilegal
. On March 21, 2011, Los Maniacos lost the AAA World Tag Team Championship to Extreme Tiger and Jack Evans. In IWRG, Los Maniacos was joined by Joe Líder, with whom Último Gladiador and Silver King held the IWRG Intercontinental Trios Championship
from March 3 to April 24. After losing the title to Los Psycho Circus
, Gladiador and King turned on Líder and kicked him out of the group. Shortly thereafter, Gladiador and King joined forces with Chessman
to form La Maniarquía. On June 18 at TripleManía XIX
, La Maniarquía was defeated by Electroshock, Heavy Metal and Joe Líder in a Tables, Ladders and Chairs match. At the event Gladiador also debuted a new look, a full gladiator outfit including a large helmet.
