Dantés was a part of the Los Capos ("The Bosses") stable alongside Cien Caras, Máscara Año 2000, and Universo 2000. He also worked for the World Wrestling Federation in 1998 and 1999 on their hispanic focused show Super Astros. His in-ring career ended in the mid-2000s, followed by him transitioning into a behind the scenes role of training and booking matches at Arena Coliseo and late founded his own wrestling promotion, Dantés' Lucha Factory in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico.
By the middle-2000s Apolo Dantés was more active as a wrestling trainer and match-maker at CMLL's Arena Coliseo in his native Guadalajara, Jalisco. For the next couple of years he booked matches for the weekly shows, as well as training various trainees for CMLL. In mid-2009 Dantés was fired from his position at Arena Coliseo and replaced by Rubén Soria. Following his dismissal from Arena Coliseo Dantés formed his own wrestling school and promotion called "Dantés' Lucha Factory", based in Guadalajara, Jalisco. Apolo Dantés owned and operated the Dantés Lucha Factory from 2009 until 2011, at which point his brother César took ownership the company, as Apolo replaced Soria to become the CMLL Guadalajara booker once more when Soria retired. By 2015 Dantés was once again replaced as the booker for CMLL. Since Dantés began working more behind the scenes he has only wrestled on a very limited schedule, with records of one match in 2010, 2011, and 2017.
Starting in late 1998, CMLL began working with the United States-based World Wrestling Federation (WWF) to allow several of CMLL's workers to appear on WWF's weekly Spanish language, Latino focused WWF Super Astros show. For approximately 10 months, Dantés worked several Super Astros shows, wrestling against CMLL luchadors, Puerto Ricans and Japanese wrestlers. In his first match, which was taped on November 16, 1998, Dantés defeated El Merenguero. His last Super Astros match took place on May 25, 1999 where he defeated Funaki. In his last match for the WWF, he, Pantera, and Papi Chulo lost to Los Boricuas (El Merenguero, José Estrada Jr., and Miguel Pérez Jr.) in match that took place before WWF's Shotgun Saturday Night show.
In mid-1996 Cien Caras, Máscara Año 2000 and Universo 2000 returned to CMLL after working elsewhere for four years. The trio began teaming with Apolo Dantés to form a group called Los Capos ("The Bosses"), a Rudo (bad guy) group that was heavily featured in CMLL's heavyweight division. Dantés competed in the 1997 CMLL International Gran Prix but was defeated in the semi-final by eventual tournament winner Steel. A year later he made it all the way to the finals of the 1998 version of the Gran Prix but lost to Rayo de Jalisco Jr. In 2003 Apolo Dantés last in-ring highlight saw him earn a match for the CMLL World Heavyweight Champion Mr. Niebla but was defeated in three falls.

He also won the 1994 Copa de Oro tournament with El Dandy, the Copa de Arena México with Black Warrior and Shocker and the Second Generation Tag Team Tournament with Emilio Charles Jr.

He defeated Silver King to win the CMLL World Heavyweight Championship on June 23, 1995.
