Career
Only one year later, Castaño left NWA Hammerlock and began wrestling in numerous UK wrestling promotions, including The Wrestling Alliance, All Star Wrestling, the Frontier Wrestling Alliance, the World Association of Wrestling, Rumble Promotions and many others while steadily improving his in-ring abilities as well.
In 1999, Castaño appeared in the Ultimate Wrestling Alliance for three matches at the Pain at the Pleasure Beach television tapings for the cable channel L!VE TV, giving him experience in front of a televised audience. While working with the UWA, Castaño soon began training his younger brother Alex, who made his debut shortly afterwards.
In 2001, the two formed a tag team known as The Colombian Connection. The Colombian Connection later won the FWA Tag Team Championships from The New Breed at an event in Portsmouth, Hampshire on June 19. They would the titles for over two and half months before losing the titles back to New Breed on September 1 in Harrow, Middlesex.
After the title loss, Castaño made his debut for Revolution British Wrestling in September 2002 and began focusing on his singles career after first defeating his brother Alex in Nottingham in what was Alex's final professional match. Castaño soon became a trainer as well as a full-time wrestler for RBW. Castaño soon went on to defeat Johnny Kidd for the RBW British Middleweight Championship on May 22, 2004 in Hitchin, Hertfordshire. Castaño retained the title until the promotion's closure in late 2005.
Castaño would continue to compete in various independent promotions, including 1 Pro Wrestling, before returning to the Frontier Wrestling Alliance. He also helped the promotion in its "Civil War" against the IPW:UK.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“Work-family conflicts—the trade-offs of your money or your life, your job or your child—would not be forced upon women with such sanguine disregard if men experienced the same career stalls caused by the-buck-stops-here responsibility for children.”
—Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)
“In time your relatives will come to accept the idea that a career is as important to you as your family. Of course, in time the polar ice cap will melt.”
—Barbara Dale (b. 1940)
“I seemed intent on making it as difficult for myself as possible to pursue my “male” career goal. I not only procrastinated endlessly, submitting my medical school application at the very last minute, but continued to crave a conventional female role even as I moved ahead with my “male” pursuits.”
—Margaret S. Mahler (1897–1985)
