Guapos refers to a lucha faction which has operated in CMLL, AAA and among independent wrestlers. Members of the group consider themselves handsome ladies men (sometime very erroneously.)
The initial Guapos started teaming together in CMLL around 2001, and existed in various configurations there until Shocker's jump to AAA. The Guapos were reformed there 2005, and still a unit in AAA, though Shocker has since left the promotion.
There two current variations of the Guapos and one proposed version. Shocker has returned to CMLL and suggested restarting the group with wrestlers such as Toscano, Marco Corelone, Hector Garza and Maximo, but no offical group has been unveiled. The AAA group continues with El Brazo leading Escorpion Negro and Decnnis, and recent AAA departures Zumbido and Scorpio Jr. team as the Guapos on the indy scene.
When they were a CMLL group, the Guapos mentored a midcard group called Guapos U; those who were only part of Guapos U are not usually considered part of the group.
Guapos Membership
Beta
Shocker loses his mask to Mr. Niebla, but declares he's okay with having his face uncovered, because he's Guapo. That starts him on the new gimmick, and leads to the rudo group.
version 1
- Shocker (leader)
- Bestia Salvaje
- Scorpio Jr.
Zumbido was invited to join but got hurt before he did
Shocker is busy with the Super Js, so the other two members bring in a member Shocker didn't want...
version 1.5
- Shocker, who feuded with fellow member
- Emilio Charles Jr.
- Bestia Salvaje
- Scorpio Jr.
Shocker eventually leaves the group and beats Emilio in a hair match.
version 2
Los Guapos find God (Allah in this case) and become Los Tailbanes. Shocker takes the name back.
version 3
- Shocker
- Mascara Magica (as vice principal of Guapos U)
- Terrible (as winner of 2003 Guapos U)
Terrible turns on Magica and Shocker.
version 4
- Shocker
- Mascara Magica
- Alan Stone (as winner of 2004 Guapos U)
Teamed up only rarely on television. Shocker leaving CMLL ended the group there, but he eventually restarted it in AAA.
version 5
Los Guapos VIP
Estrella Dorada Jr. was mentioned as a possible member, but left AAA before anything came of it.
version 5.1
- Guapito (mini/leader)
- Scorpio Jr. (in ring-leader)
- Alan Stone
- Zumbido
- Chris Stone
- Hator
Shocker jumps back to CMLL and eventually makes his own variation High Society. He's replaced in the group by Hator, but Scorpio Jr. takes over leadership. Emilio Charles Jr., wrestling for CMLL at the time, is mentioned as a possible addition. Chris Stone attempts to help the group as a masked man late in 2006, usually failing, but is offered membership when his mask is yanked and Alan realizes it's his brother.
In 2007, the Guapos hype a new leader, the true boss of the group. It's revealed to be Guapito, a mascot/mini with dyed blond hair who wears suits. They immediately start a feud with Alebrije and Cuije. During this stretch, Scorpio, Zumbido and Alan are the primary trio. Chris Stone and Hator are used much less often, Hator seemingly being quietly dropped along the way. Piero remains a rudo referee but isn't closely associated with the group.
After Super Calo dropped his mask and was revealed as the third Stone brother, he was added to the group.
version 5.2
- Guapito (mini/leader)
- Scorpio Jr. (in ring-leader)
- Alan Stone
- Zumbido
- Super Calo
- Chris Stone
This set up lasted just weeks before Scorpio, Guaptio and Zumbido turned on the Stone brothers. Alan, Chris and Super Calo formed their own trio as Los Bello Stones, and the Guapos introduced a new member to feud with them.
version 5.3
- Guapito (mini/leader)
- Scorpio Jr. (in ring-leader)
- Zumbido
- Decnnis
The former Barrio Boy Decnnis joined to round out the trio (and quietly end the existence of his ex-group.)
In the summer of 2008, just as the group brought in El Brazo to feud with his brother Super Porky, the current members all were rumored to be leaving AAA in a pay dispute. Decnnis, Scorpio and Guapito appeared at an IWRG shows, with Zumbido promised to come. Decnnis quickly changed his mind and returned to AAA. Feeling he'd committed to the date, Guapito worked the following week's IWRG show without telling anyone (especially Scorpio) that he was planning to return to AAA the next day. Zumbido, the only one who didn't showat the first appearance, ended up joining Scorpio as the only true departures.
version 5.4
After Decnnis and Guapito returned to AAA, Scorpio claimed in the press that the only ones allowed to run Guapos factions were the surviving members of the original group, himself and Shocker. AAA never directly responded to this claim, but El Brazo has suggested in interviews that the group be called the Metrosexuals instead.
Zumbido and Scorpio continued teaming as the Guapos on independent shows typically with El Dandy as their third in trios and has become an unofficial member. Meanwhile, Pirata Morgan filled in as a partner to Decnnis and Brazo on AAA television shows, though he was never even implied to be a member of the group. Nuevo Laredo wrestler Escorpion Negro, who had been working openers and dark matches, debuted as the third member of the AAA group in August of 2008. The focus of the group has been switched to El Brazo, due to his feud with Super Porky
