Wikipedia:Featured topics/Los Espantos

Los Espantos (Spanish for "The Scares") was one of the earliest examples of an "Identical trio" in Lucha libre going under the names Espanto I, Espanto II and Espanto III. Later on the sons of Epanto III would wrestle as Espanto IV and V and another team would use the name Los Hijos del Espanto ("The Sons of Espanto") despite not being related to any of the original Espantos. In the 1980 Espanto Jr. was allowed to use the name as well and in 2012 his son also began working as Espanto Jr.. Finally Los Espantos also allowed a Mini-Estrella to use the name Espantito. The original Los Espantos trio has been called one of the best bad guy trios in the history of Lucha Libre, with their name still being around today, 40 years after the peak of the original Los Espantos in the mid-to-late 1960s.
