He wrestled as Fuego in a tournament to gain entry to the 2006 NJPW Super Junior tournament, and stayed as Fuego thru the tournament. After proving himself on the tour, he was invited to wrestle with NJPW again in the future; Durango Kid removed his mask voluntarily in order to compete under his usual identity for New Japan.

He wrestled as Black Dragon on the return show for Juventud Guerrera's Super X promotion on August 15, 2009 in 3 way dance for the Copa XL, against Angelico and Juventud.
On July 26, 2009 he started with CMLL as a lower/midcard rudo, sporting a new mask. He spend the next year and a half as an early match rudo. Durango had a slight rivalry with fellow martial artist Sensei, but it never got much attention.
