Espanto II
Mexican professional wrestler (1932-2010)
Fernando Cisneros Carrillo (August 25, 1932 – August 27, 2010) was a Mexican professional wrestler known under the ring name Espanto II ("Terror 2"). For most of his career, he was closely associated with his tag team partner and close friend José Vázquez, better known as Espanto I, as well as Miguel Vázquez, known as Espanto III, with the three collectively known as Los Espantos. Carillo held the Mexican National Tag Team Championship with Espanto I and the Northern Tag Team Championship with Espanto III. He lost his mask to Rubén Juárez in 1963 in a Lucha de Apuestas ("bet match").
In 2010, Carrillo was inducted into the Ciudad Juárez Lucha Libre Hall of Fame, along with the other two Espantos. The team of Espanto I and Espanto II are considered among the best rudo (those that portray the bad guys) teams in the history of professional wrestling in Mexico.
Early life
Fernando Cisneros Carrillo was born on August 25, 1932, son of Edgardo Cisneros Díaz Isabel Carrillo Iñiguez in the Lagunero town of Torreón, Coahuila, Mexico. While in school, Cisneros met and befriended José Eusebio Vázquez Bernal, forming a friendship so close that they considered each other brothers; Cisneros' parents also considered Vázquez as one of their own children. After leaving school, they both went their separate ways, not seeing each other for two years, before they both ended up training at the same boxing gym, where Cisnero was met with some success as a Golden Gloves boxer. Cisnero was also an avid cyclist, having participated in the first ever Vuelta Coahuila bicycle race. Later in life, he credited training as a boxer and cyclist for his stamina in the ring.

Why this record matters
“Espanto II” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Espanto, Mexican and professional provides the most credible route into that argument.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 26, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q23750991. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1932, 2010 and 1963.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
