In early 1992, Nitro joined CMLL under the gimmick ofFiliso as atecnico who was on the undercard. By 1996, Filiso participated in a tournament for entry into theTorneo Gran Alternativa, but failed to qualify.[3] He did not find much success for many years in CMLL, until he was reintroduced asNitro in 2002. When re-debuting he joinedPierroth's evolvingLos Boricua stable. On July 14, 2002, Nitro teamed withDoctor X andVirus to defeatSuper Muñeco, Super Raton, and Super Pinocchio.[4] Later on in 2005, he joined thePandilla Guerrera group, also includingSangre Azteca and Doctor X. The trio eventually won theMexican National Trios Championship on March 25, 2005, defeatingSafari,El Felino, andVolador Jr.[1][5] After winning the trios titles, Nitro participated in the Torneo Gran Alternativa teaming with Pierroth. In the quarter-finals, Pierroth and Nitro lost toDr. Wagner, Jr. andMisterioso, Jr.[6] On October 10, 2005, Nitro and his team lost the trios championship toEl Sagrado,El Texano, Jr., andMáximo.[1][5] In 2006, Nitro participated in the Torneo Gran Alternativa, this time teaming withÚltimo Guerrero.[7] In the quarter-finals, the duo defeatedDos Caras, Jr. and Volador Jr., and in the semi-finals they defeatedRey Bucanero andLoco Max.
