In Mexico, Islas has worked for [[Lucha Libre AAA World WideWorldwide|AAAAsistencia Asesoría y Administración]] (AAA) and made appearances for various independent promotions but is not currently associated with one specific Mexican promotion. As Super Crazy, Islas gained American exposure by working for [[Extreme Championship Wrestling]] (ECW) between 1998 and 2000 and for [[WWE|World Wrestling Entertainment]] (WWE) between 2005 and 2008. He has also toured Japan on several occasions, working for [[New Japan Pro-Wrestling]] (NJPW), [[Pro Wrestling ZERO1-MAXZero1|Pro Wrestling Zero-One]] (Zero-1), [[All Japan Pro Wrestling]] (AJPW) and [[Pro Wrestling Noah]].
 
==Professional wrestling career==
 
===Early career (1988–1997)===
Francisco Islas made his professional wrestling debut in February 1988, at just 14 years of age, after being trained by his older brother Rey Pantera. Islas took the [[ring name]] "Super Crazy". He initially worked as an ''[[wrestling mask|enmascarado]]'', or masked wrestler, but lost the mask just over a month after his debut when he lost a ''[[Lucha libre#Luchas de Apuestas|Luchas de Apuestas]]'' (a "bet match") to [[Skayde|El Seminarista]] in March 1988.<ref name="TomoSuperCrazy"/> From 1988 until 1995 Super Crazy was a mainstay on the Mexican [[independent circuit]] working for various promotions, including appearances for the [[Universal Wrestling Association]] (UWA) in the year leading up to its closure. In the UWA Super Crazy won the [[UWA World Welterweight Championship]] on November 17, 1995, and held the title when the UWA closed in December 1995.<ref name=UWAWelter/> After the UWA closed Super Crazy still used and defended the UWA title on various independent shows but once he signed with the [[Lucha Libre AAA World WideWorldwide|AAA]] promotion in 1996 the title was not mentioned. In AAA he was given a new gimmick, a masked ''Rudo'' (villain or [[Heel (professional wrestling)|heel]]) character called "Histeria" (sometimes [[Anglicisation|Anglicised]] as "Hysteria"). Together with [[Abismo Negro]], [[Maniaco]], [[X-Fly|Mosco de la Merced]] I and Mach-1 he comprised a wrestling group called ''Rudos de la Galaxia'' ([[Spanish language|Spanish]] for "The bad guys of the universe"), a group that was involved in a [[Narrative thread|storyline]] feud with a ''tecnico'' (good guy or [[Face (professional wrestling)|face]]) group called ''Los Cadetos del Espacio'' (Spanish for "the Space Cadets"). In the spring of 1997 Islas, as Histeria, made a couple of appearances for the [[World Wrestling EntertainmentWWE|World Wrestling Federation]] (WWF) due to an AAA/WWF working agreement. Histeria worked mainly against ''Los Cadetos del Espacio'', especially [[Venum Black|Venum]] in his appearances on ''[[WWE Raw|RAW is WAR]]'' and ''[[WWF Shotgun Saturday Night|Shotgun]]''. In September 1997 Islas left AAA, giving the "Histeria" name and outfit to another AAA wrestler who had worked as "Quarterback" up until that time, he still wrestles as [[Histeria (wrestler)|Histeria]] today.<ref name="EncyHisteria">{{cite news | author = Enciclopedia staff | title = Enciclopedia de las Mascaras | work = Histeria (II) | location = [[Mexico City|Mexico City, Mexico]] | id = Tomo II | page = 49 | date = August 2007 | language = es}}</ref>
 
Islas resumed working as "Super Crazy" when he left AAA to join the newly created [[Promo Azteca]]. Super Crazy also continued his feud with Venum, who now worked as "Venum Black" after leaving AAA, a feud that culminated in a "mask vs. hair" ''Luchas de Apuesta'' that Super Crazy won, unmasking Venum Black.<ref name="TomoVenum"/><ref name=DiaMarch6>{{cite web | url=https://superluchas.com/2015/03/06/en-un-dia-como-hoy-1998-super-crazy-desenmascara-a-venum-black-satanico-traiciona-a-emilio-charles-jr/ | title=En un día como hoy… 1998: Súper Crazy desenmascara a Venum Black… Satánico traiciona a Emilio Charles Jr. | first=Teddy | last=Centinela | date=March 6, 2015 | access-date=July 1, 2015 | work=[[Súper Luchas]] | language=es}}</ref> After leaving AAA Super Crazy began defending the UWA World Welterweight title, losing it to [[Tigre Blanco|Kid Guzmán]] in 1997.<ref name=UWAWelter/> Super Crazy regained the title on June 15, 1998, during a show in Japan and successfully defended the title until October 13, 2000, where he lost it to [[El Oriental]].<ref name=UWAWelter/> In November 1997 Islas began working for WWF under the name "Super Loco", mainly on their ''[[WWF Super Astros|Super Astros]]'' shows, his only "Main show" appearance was a loss to [[Mr. Águila|El Águila]] in the first round of the [[WWF Light Heavyweight Championship]] tournament.<ref>{{cite web | url= http://www.thehistoryofwwe.com/97.htm | title= WWF Ring Results (1997) | author= Cawthon, Graham | date= November 3, 1997 | access-date= August 24, 2009 | publisher= HistoryOfWWE.com | quote= WWF Light Heavyweight Title Tournament Quarter Finals: Aguila pinned Super Loco with a twisting splash off the top}}</ref>

He also began working for [[Puerto Rico]]-based [[International Wrestling Association (Puerto Rico)|International Wrestling Association]] (IWA).

Crazy's first appearance on WWE television came during the June 18, 2005 airing of ''[[WWE Friday Night SmackDown|SmackDown!]]'''s sister show ''[[WWE Velocity]]'', teaming with [[Psicosis]] to defeat [[JamesJimmy YunYang|Akio]] and [[Billy Kidman]]. Psicosis, Super Crazy, and [[Juventud Guerrera|Juventud]] grouped together to form a [[List of professional wrestling terms#S|stable]] known as the [[The Mexicools]]. The group made their debut as [[Heel (professional wrestling)|heels]] on the June 23, edition of ''SmackDown!'' when all three members rode to the ring on [[Deere & Company|John Deere]] [[lawn mower]]s with the decals altered to say ''Juan'' Deere (''John'' in Spanish) and wearing matching [[coverall]]s.<ref name="debut">{{cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/shows/smackdown/archive/06232005/|title=Final Chapter, New Chapter|date=June 23, 2005|access-date=January 15, 2008|publisher=WWE}}</ref><ref name="juan deer">{{cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/shows/smackdown/archive/06302005/|title=JACKPOT!|date=June 30, 2005|access-date=January 15, 2008|publisher=WWE|quote=leaving on "Juan" Deer riding mowers.}}</ref> They then attacked [[Chavo Guerrero Jr.|Chavo Guerrero]] and [[Paul London]] during their [[WWE Cruiserweight Championship (1991–2007)|Cruiserweight Championship]] match.<ref name="debut"/> Juventud cut a promo questioning the lack of "true Mexican luchadores" in the Cruiserweight Division, before going on to deride the current state of [[Mexican American]]s in general. Psicosis dubbed the lawnmower they arrived on a "Mexican Limo 2005" and the group claimed that even Mexico's president mocks Mexicans in the United States (in reference to [[Vicente Fox]]'s controversial remark that Mexican immigrants do the jobs "not even the [[African AmericanAmericans|blacks]] want to do"). Juventud then stated that they were "no longer there to clean toilets and work for "them" (the "gringos") but "they" were going to be working for "us" (The Mexicools)", before dubbing the team "not Mexi''cans'' but Mexi''cools''!" In the following weeks, they continued to [[List of professional wrestling terms#R|interfere]] in matches and mock the stereotypical image of Mexicans in the United States.
 
Despite being introduced as heels, the group quickly became favorites of the audience and eventually began acting as [[Face (professional wrestling)|faces]]. They received strong approval from the audience even during their debut, which occurred in [[Tucson, Arizona]].
