1984

Jorge Luis Alcantar Bolly (born April 30, 1984), is a Mexican second-generation professional wrestler.

He is currently signed to WWE, where he performs on the SmackDown brand under the ring name Santos Escobar and is the leader of Legado Del Fantasma.

He was a former member of the Latino World Order.

He was also a former one-time NXT Cruiserweight Champion.

2000

Alcantar began his professional wrestling career in 2000, as the masked ring character "Top Secret".

While working under the Top Secret name he wore a black mask with gold trim around the eye openings.

2003

In 2003, Alcantar adopted a new mask and name as he became "El Hijo del Fantasma" ("The Son of El Fantasma"), revealing to the wrestling world that he was the son of El Fantasma.

After the name change he began wearing a mask that closely resembled that of the comic book character The Phantom, just like his father did before him.

His first documented match as El Hijo del Fantasma saw him team up with his father and his cousin, who adopted the ring name "Fantasma Jr.".

They defeated Los Oficiales (Guardia, Oficial, and Vanguardia) at an International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG) show on December 14, 2003.

2008

He previously worked for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) from 2008 to 2013.

In CMLL, he held the CMLL World Middleweight Championship, as well as the CMLL World Trios Championship twice (with Héctor Garza and La Máscara).

Alcantar was brought to Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) in 2008, after he left IWRG in 2004.

During his time in CMLL, he won the CMLL World Trios Championship on two occasions, teaming with Héctor Garza and La Mascara.

The three were first teamed up to participate in a tournament for the vacant CMLL World Trios Championship.

Despite never having teamed before, the trio made it all the way to the finals, and then defeated Blue Panther, Dos Caras Jr., and Místico in the finals to win the tournament and the championship.

On August 5, 2008, they lost their title to Último Guerrero, Negro Casas, and Atlantis.

2009

They had a rematch where Garza, La Mascara, and Hijo del Fantasma regained their title on January 18, 2009.

On July 21, 2009, Hijo del Fantasma defeated Averno to win the CMLL World Middleweight Championship.

After the match, Averno showed respect to Fantasma by congralutating him and celebrating the victory.

2010

On February 14, 2010, after only one successful title defense since July 2009, Hijo del Fantasma lost the Middleweight title to Negro Casas.

In March 2010 signs of dissention amongst the Trios champions began showing as Garza walked out on the team during a trios match mistakenly thinking that one of his teammates had attacked him.

Following the walk out Garza kept insincerely insisting that he was still a tecnico and that there was no tension on his team.

Further doubts about Garza's allegiance arose when he teamed up with the Rúdo Pólvora to win the 2010 Gran Alternativa tournament.

When Garza, La Máscara and Hijo del Fantasma were booked for a CMLL World Trios defense the following week, Garza complained that his partners agreed contesting to the match without asking him, but swore that he would still be professional about it.

During the title defense on the May 7, 2010 Super Viernes Garza attacked both Hijo del Fantasma and La Máscara, allowing La Ola Amarilla (Hiroshi Tanahashi, Shigeo Okumura and Taichi Ishikari) to win the CMLL World Trios Championship, turning full blown rudo in the process.

2012

On October 28, 2012, Hijo del Fantasma unsuccessfully challenged Dragón Rojo Jr. for the NWA World Historic Middleweight Championship.

2013

Before his WWE career, Alcantar worked as El Hijo del Fantasma for Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (AAA) from 2013 to 2019.

El Hijo del Fantasma was paired up with rudo El Felino for the 2013 Torneo Nacional de Parejas Increibles ("National Incredible Pairs Tournament"), a tag team tournament teaming rudos with tecnicos.

The team lost to La Máscara and Averno in the first round despite Averno and La Máscara being longtime rivals.

On October 18, 2013, El Hijo del Fantasma made a surprise jump to Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (AAA), debuting at the Héroes Inmortales VII event as the newest member of El Consejo, a rudo stable made up of former CMLL wrestlers.

In his debut, he made it to the finals of the Copa Antonio Peña, before losing to La Parka.

On December 8 at Guerra de Titanes, Fantasma teamed with El Consejo stablemates Silver King and El Texano, Jr. to unsuccessfully challenge Los Psycho Circus (Monster Clown, Murder Clown and Psycho Clown) for the AAA World Trios Championship.

2014

Alcantar has also worked under the ring name King Cuerno for the U.S.-based Lucha Underground promotion from 2014 to 2019.

Through AAA's promotional partnerships, Alcantar also worked on several shows for Impact Wrestling, while under AAA contract.

His father is luchador El Fantasma, who is the head of the Mexico City Boxing and Professional Wrestling commission.

His cousin wrestles under the name "Fantasma Jr.", while his uncle worked under the name "Ángel de la Muerte".

On August 17, 2014, at Triplemanía XXII, El Hijo del Fantasma won a ten-way elimination match to unify the AAA Fusión and AAA Cruiserweight Championships, becoming the first AAA World Cruiserweight Champion.

2015

On September 20, 2015, Fantasma became the new leader of the La Sociedad stable.

2017

In AAA, he won the AAA Fusión Championship, the AAA Latin American Championship, the 2017 Copa Antonio Peña, and was previously the longest-reigning AAA World Cruiserweight Champion in history.
