His first reign lasted 161 days and was an indicator of what the future held for Satánico as it was the first of many titles he would hold. Satánico held the Mexican National Middleweight title again in 1981-1982 and would hold it in 1988/1989 as well. On March 28, 1980 Satánico moved up from the Mexican title to the world title as he defeated [[Satoru Sayama]] for the [[NWA World Middleweight Championship]]. While his first reign lasted just 30 days he would hold it a further two times between 1982 and 1983 by defeating [[César Curiel]] and El Jalisco for the title, before losing it for the third and final time to [[Lizmark]] on June 3, 1986. A month after losing the Middleweight title Satánico moved from the Middleweight division to the light heavyweight division when he defeated [[Ringo Mendoza]] to win his first [[NWA World Light Heavyweight Championship]], holding it for 87 days before Mendoza regained it.

| ===Los Infernales===
| |
| In the early 1980s the Trios named (Relevos Australianos) concept became very popular in Mexico, spearheaded by the trio called ''Los Misioneros de Muerte'' (the Missionaries of Death) who worked for rival promotion [[Universal Wrestling Association]] (UWA). EMLL decided to create a trio of heel, or ''Rudos'' as they're called in Lucha Libre, to capitalize on the popularity of the Trios phenomenon. [[MS-1]], El Satánico and [[Antonio Peña|Espectro, Jr.]] were chosen to form ''[[Los Infernales]]'' (the Infernals). Due to various injuries Espectro, Jr. was forced to retire from wrestling all together, which led to [[Pirata Morgan]] becoming the third ''Infernales'', giving birth to the most successful incarnation of ''Los Infernales''. Satánico split his time between trios matches and wrestling in the middleweight division, defeating Lizmark to start his fourth reign on December 2, 1983. By the middle of 1984 Satánico became involved in a long, draw out heated feud with [[Gran Cochisse]], a feud that saw Sátanico and Cochisse trade the title back and forth. On October 14, 1984 Satánico won the [[UWA World Middleweight Championship]] from [[Super Astro]]. In March 1985 ''Los Infernales'' participated in a tournament to determine the first ever [[Mexican National Trios Championship|Mexican National Trios Champions]]; in the finals of the tournament ''Los Infernales'' defeated ''Los Brazos'' ("the Arms"; [[El Brazo]], [[Brazo de Oro (wrestler)|Brazo de Oro]] and [[Brazo de Plata]]) to become the first ever Mexican National Trios champions. In October, 1986 Pirata Morgan left the group to form a new group called "Los Bucaneros", in his place ''Los Infernales'' recruited [[Masakre]] to be their third member. while MS-1 and Masakre worked as a tag team, Satánico focused more and more on singles competition, which meant that ''Los Infernales'' made fewer appearances as a trio. During this time period Satánico won his third Mexican National Middleweight title as well as his second and third NWA World Light Heavyweight Championship. During this time Satánico and Pirata Morgan were embroiled in a long feud, pitting the former ''Infernales'' members against each other. The feud saw Morgan win the NWA World Light Heavyweight Championship from Satánico on October 21, 1989.

| In the early 1990s ''Los Infernales'' reformed, reuniting MS-1, Satánico and Pirata Morgan once more. The trio participated in the tournament to crown the first ever [[CMLL World Trios Championship|CMLL World Trios Champions]]. ''Los Infernales'' won the tournament, defeating Los Brazo in the finals to become the first ever CMLL World Trios Champions on November 22, 1991. Former ''Infernales'' member Masakre had formed his own group, ''Los Intocables'' (the Untouchables) consisting of himself, [[Pierroth, Jr.]] and [[Jaque Mate (wrestler)|Jaque Mate]] ("Checkmate"). ''Los Intocables'' were immediately paired against ''Los Infernales'' to create a ''Rudos'' vs. ''Rudos'' storyline, playing off both the championship chase and the history between the two groups. On March 22, 1992 ''Los Intocables'' won the CMLL World Trios Title, however ''Los Infernales'' got the final victory in their feud as they defeated ''Los Intocables'' for the championship on September 20, 1992. On April 5, 1992 Satánico defeated longtime rival Lizmark to win his fourth and final NWA World Light Heavyweight Championship. His final reign with the title lasted 111 days until [[Apolo Dantés]] beat him for it. In 1994 Satánico gained a measure of revenge on Apolo Dantés as he won the [[CMLL World Middleweight Championship]] from him, making him one of the few people to have held both the Mexican National, NWA World and CMLL World championship in the Middleweight division. Satánico would go on to hold the CMLL Middleweight title for a total of 1,561 days, by far the longest reign of any CMLL World Middleweight Champion. On March 21, 1997 Satánico won his third CMLL World Trios title, this time teaming up with [[Rey Bucanero]] (the nephew of Pirata Morgan) and [[Emilio Charles Jr.]] to win the vacant titles in a one-night eight-team tournament. The trio only held the title for 39 days before they were defeated by ''La Ola Azur'' ("The Blue Wave"; [[Atlantis]], [[Lizmark]] and [[Mr. Niebla]]). In mid-1997 [[Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling]] (FMW) wrestler [[Taka Michinoku]] tourned Mexico to gain international experience. On June 20, 1997 Satánico defeated Michinoku to win the [[Independent World Junior Heavyweight Championship|FMW Independent World Junior Heavyweight Championship]], a title he held until August 25, 1997 where Michinoku won it back shortly before returning to Japan.On March 7, 1999 Satánico's marathon reign as CMLL World Middleweight Champion ended when his old rival Ringo Mendoza won the title from him.

| ===Los Nuevo Infernales===
| |
| In the late 1990s Satánico reformed Los Infernales, recruiting Rey Bucanero and [[Último Guerrero]] to form ''Los Nuevo Infernales'' (the new Infernals). The Trio won the [[Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre#Defunct annual tournaments|Copa de Arena Mexico Tournament]] in 1999, but did not win any titles. After working together for just under a year Bucanero and Guerrero turned on Satánico, kicking him out of Los Nuevo Infernales, replacing him with [[Tarzan Boy]]. Satánico formed his own "Infernales" with [[Averno]] and [[Mephisto]]. When Tarzan Boy was injured Los Nuevo Infernales brought in [[Máscara Mágica]] to bolster the group. The storyline between ''Los Infernales'' and Los Nuevo Infernales came to a head when the two teams, 7 men all together, faced off in a steel cage match where the winners would earn the right to the name "Los Infernales" and the last man in the cage would lose either his mask or his hair. On September 28, 2001 Satánico's team won the right to the ''Infernales'' name and forced Máscara Mágica to unmask. After losing the match Guerrero, Bucanero and Tarzan Boy became known collectively as ''[[Los Guerreros del Infierno]]'' (''The Infernal Soldiers''). On June 23, 2002 Satánico, Averno and Mephisto defeated the trio of [[Mr. Niebla]], [[Olímpico]] and [[Ephesto|Safari]] to win the Mexican National Trios Championship. ''Los Infernales'' would only hold the Trios title for approximately 3 months before losing it to ''La Familia de Tijuana'' ([[Damián 666]], [[Halloween]] and [[Psicosis|Nicho el Millonario]]). Averno and Mephisto turned on Satánico shortly after the title loss and formed their own group known as ''La Trada del Terror'' (the trio of terror) along with [[Ephesto]]. On November 25, 2003 El Satánico won the last championship of his long career when he defeated [[El Felino]] to win the [[CMLL World Welterweight Championship]]. Satánico held the title until February 24, 2004 when his former protégé Mephisto defeated him for the belt.

| In 2007 Satánico reformed ''Los Infernales'' once more, teaming with young wrestlers that had recently been repackaged to more "hellish" images, [[Nosferatu (wrestler)|Nosferatu]] and [[Euforia (wrestler)|Euforia]]. The trios did not approached the success of the previous incarnations of Los Infernales, working mainly lower to mid-card matches; the group was intended to give the two young wrestlers more ring experience and further their training under Satánico’s watchful eye. In 2009 Satánico announced that he was reducing the number of shows he worked to focus on his work at CMLL’s wrestling school.
