- As Espectro I, Hernández became famous for his theatrical, elaborate entrances often involving being carried to the ring in a coffin.
- He has been cited as one of the most charismatic wrestlers of the 1950s, creating a character that inspired multiple successors including his sons who worked as El Hijo del Espectro ("Son of Espectro") and Espectro 2000.
- 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 AsesorÃa 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.
- He would later return to wrestling but, without the mask, the Espectro character did not have the same impact.
- He later became a trainer, having trained such wrestles as Fuerza Guerrera and the current Espectro Jr.
