1987

Perez went on to make a name for himself as "The Latin Heartthrob" in World Class Championship Wrestling in 1987, where he was the top heel for several months.

He was managed by Gary Hart and feuded with Kevin Von Erich, Kerry Von Erich and Dingo Warrior.

Perez won the World Class Texas Championship after supposedly defeating previous champion Warrior in a phantom match in Puerto Rico on 21 June 1987.

He later defeated Kevin Von Erich for the WCWA World Heavyweight Championship by forfeit.

On 25 December 1987 he successfully defended the title in a steel cage match against Kerry Von Erich, recently returned from a 1986 motorcycle accident.

Hart and Von Erich's father Fritz were supposed to be handcuffed together but after Fritz was attacked by several heels and afterwards (kayfabe) collapsed with a suspected heart attack, Hart alone was handdcuffed to the ropes.

A distraught (kayfabe) Von Erich nonetheless went ahead with the title challenge.

Perez managed to smash Von Erich's head into the handcuffs to score the pinfall win.

Von Erich later defeated Perez for the title.

Perez and Hart left for Jim Crockett Promotions.

1988

In 1988, Perez moved to the National Wrestling Alliance's Jim Crockett Promotions with Hart and teamed with Larry Zbyszko along with feuding with Nikita Koloff and Dusty Rhodes.

1989

In 1989 he wrestled for Dusty Rhodes' Professional Wrestling Federation based in Florida.

He won the PWF Florida Heavyweight Title, defeating Mike Graham for the title.

He later lost the title to Dustin Rhodes.

Al Perez signed with WWF and made his debut on October 2, 1989, with a win over George South in a dark match at a WWF Superstars taping in Wheeling, WV.

Perez was undefeated the first month, wrestling primarily on C shows against Barry Horowitz and The Brooklyn Brawler.

His first loss would come against Boris Zukhov on November 13, 1989, in Roanoke, VA. Perez would then continue to wrestle primarily on the undercard, although in one Prime Time Wrestling show host Gorilla Monsoon made mention of a possible tag-team pairing of Perez and Santana.

Perez was primarily seen on house shows and Prime Time Wrestling.

1991

Perez reached the finals of a tournament to crown the first GWF North American Heavyweight Champion before losing to The Patriot at the promotion's debut show on 10 August 1991 in Dallas, Texas.

However, because Perez's feet were under the ropes when he was pinned, the Patriot, as a matter of conscience (kayfabe) refused the victory and vacated the title, defeating Perez cleanly in a rematch on 23 August 1991.

Perez was (kayfabe) so impressed with his opponent's integrity and sportsmanship that he changed his ways and became a babyface once again.
