Apolo Estrada Jr. is thering name ofRoberto Guadalupe Estrada Zúñiga (born January 10, 1987), a Mexicanluchador, orprofessional wrestler. He is the son of professional wrestler Apolo Estrada and has worked forConsejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL),International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG) as well as working for manyprofessional wrestling promotions on the Mexicanindependent circuit. From 2009 to 2015 he was a member of a wrestling group known asLos Gringos VIP and currently forms a team known asLos Insportables withEterno.
Roberto Estrada began his professional wrestling career in 2000, working as theenmascarado character El Chupacabras. Estrada was around 13 years old when he wrestled his first match, something that is not unheard of inLucha Libre[Note 1]
By 2003 he began working regularly inMonterrey, now unmasked and billed as Apolo Estrada Jr. for Federacion Internacional de Lucha Libre.[1] Over the next five years Estrada Jr. was a regular worker for the promotion, holding a number of different championships, often teaming with Estrella Dorada Jr.[2][3] During his time in Monterrey he competed in a number ofLuchas de Apuestas, or bet matches, the most prestigious match type in Mexico.He won the hair of Crazzy Demon, Androide, Potro Jr. and Gato Volador as well as the mask of Black Gordman Jr.[1][2][3] By the same token he also lost several match and as a result was shaved bald after losing to long time partner/rival Estrella Dorada Jr. as well as Corazo de Barrior and Hombre Sin Miedo.[1][2]
In 2009 Estrada Jr. began working forConsejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) as a low rankedrudo (those that portray the "bad guys"). The highlight of his time in CMLL was a ten-mansteel cage match where Apolo Estrada Jr. defeatedBrazo de Platino in the end, forcing Brazo de Platino to be shaved bald as a result.[4]
Estrada left CMLL in late 2010 and began working for a variety of promotions on Mexico'sindependent circuit, including making regular appearances forInternational Wrestling Revolution Group IWRG.
In late 2011 the group known asLos Gringos Locos (El Hijo del Diablo,Avisman and Gringo Loco) held theDistrito Federal Trios Championship when Gringo Loco left Mexico and stopped working for IWRG. The Mexico City wrestling commission allowed IWRG to substitute Gringo Loco with Apolo Estrada Jr. to carry on the Distrito Federal Trios Championship.[5] The group would later be renamedLos Gringos VIP as they held the Trios title for over a year, until March 19, 2012.[5] The trio regained the championship in September, 2013.[6] WithGringos VIP partner El Hijo del Diablo Estrada Jr. won theIWRG Intercontinental Tag Team Championship on May 21, 2015 as they defeated Alan Extreme andVeneno to win the titles.[7] Their run with the tag team championship lasted only 25 days until IWRG decided to move the titles over toLos Oficiales (Oficial 911 andOficial AK-47) instead.[8] Estrada Jr. also held the WWS World Welterweight Championship, a title promoted by IWRG, as he defeatedDr. Cerebro to win the vacant title on December 8, 2013. Dr. Cerebro would later win the title from Estrada Jr. On August 14, 2015Los Terribles Cerebros (Black Terry, Dr. Cerebro andCerebro Negro) won the Distrito Federal Trios titles fromLos Gringos VIP, ending their reign after 643 days.[6]Los Gringos VIP, in this instance Apolo Estrada Jr. and El Hijo del Diablo, defeatedLos Panteras (Pantera andEl Hijo del Pantera) to win the IWRG Intercontinental Tag Team Championship for the second time.[9] Their title reign lasted 67 days untilLos Panteras regained the championship.[10] After the title loss Estrada Jr. and Hijo del Diablo attacked each other, blaming the other for the loss and ending theLos Gringos VIP faction.[10]
In the week following the break up ofLos Gringos VIP Apolo Estrada Jr. began teaming regularly withEterno, forming atag team known asLos Insoportables ("The Unsupportable Ones"). As part of the team Apolo Estrada Jr. often supported Eterno as Eterno feuded with Black Terry.Los Insoportables are scheduled to put their hair on the line in the main event of theArena Naucalpan 38th Anniversary Show, facing off against theTerribles Cerebroros team of Black Terry and Dr. Cerebro.[11]
