  • He also inspired his nephew Antonio Peña who became the first wrestler to work as Espectro Jr.
  • and later used the creativity and inspiration of the Espanto character to create Asistencia Asesoría y Administración, later known simply as "AAA". Hernández is one of a limited number of enmascarados, or masked wrestlers, to voluntarily unmask, option to remove the mask as he announced his retirement due to injuries.
