The current incarnation includes Satanic, Euphoria, Mephisto and Sorcerer. The rise of the trios format in the early 1980s, led by rivals Los Misioneros de Muerte, prompted EMLL to create a group of rudos to capitalize on this trend, resulting in Los Infernales. Despite several injuries and changes, they achieved significant success in multiple championships, particularly clashing with teams like Los Brazos and Los Intocables.
