Jaime Ignacio Tirado Correa (born January 4, 1974) is a MexicanLuchador (wrestler) who is best known asCuervo orDark Cuervo. He works forLucha Libre AAA Worldwide (AAA) and has been part ofThe Black Family since it was formed in 2001 byCharly Manson. During his time in the Black Family La Cuervo has been a member of both Lucha Libre Latina (LLL) andLa Secta del Mesías, its predecessorLa Secta Cibernetica andLa Legión Extranjera but now the Black Family is its own independent entity.
Jaime Correa trained underDos Caras and Impala before making his wrestling debut in 1996. Correa debuted asEl Cuervo (Spanish for "The Crow"), aGoth inspired character complete with white face paint and black markings. In 1998 Coerra briefly used the name "Heavy Dracula" but abandoned it after only a few months and reverted to El Cuervo. In 1999 El Cuervo became a member ofAbismo Negro's short lived stableLos Vipers Extreme, a splinter of theLos Vipers group that feuded with the other faction Los Vipers Primera Clase led byCibernético. After only a few months the two Viper stables were reunited but without El Cuervo.
In the early parts of 2001 El Cuervo teamed up with other four other wrestlers that all used a similar gimmick, look and attitude as Cuervo to form thestablethe Black Family. The other wrestlers wereCharly Manson,Escoria andOzz. Early on in the stable's lifetime Charly Manson suffered a grave injury after falling from aladder during a match which put Manson out of wrestling for a long period. The Black Family brought inChessman to be the fourth member. Around the time of Chessman joining the Black Family became part of Lucha Libre Latina (LLL), the Mexican version of theNew World Order, a group led by Chessman's long-time friendCibernético. Even though they were part of a much larger group the four men still worked as a unit, a stable within the stable.
On July 18, 2003 the Black Family won their first championship as a unit when they defeated Oscar Sevilla and Los Barrio Boys for the Atómicos title, but their run only lasted 31 days before Sevilla and Los Barrio Boys regained the titles.[1] It would be just over a year before the Black Family got another opportunity to hold the titles as they won them on August 20, 2004.[1]
In 2005 Cibernético formed a new group calledLa Secta Cibernetica that included his friends Charly Manson and Chessman and through Chessman's membership the Black Family was also invited to join this new supergroup. The group assisted Cibernético in his fight withLa Parka (the AAA version), being unable to prevent him from being unmasked atTriplemanía XII.[2] Later in the yearMuerta Cibernetica was brought in to get revenge on La Parka. When Cibernético suffered a severe knee injury Muerta Cibernetica took over the group and kicked Cibernético out. After holding the Atómicos titles for 789 days the Black Family lost to the Mexican Powers (Crazy Boy,Juventud Guerrera, Joe Lider and Psicosis II) on October 18, 2006.[1] Not long after they lost the tag team titles Chessman turned "Technicó" and sided with Cibernético and Charly Manson to form "Los Hell Brothers" fighting against La Secta, now known as "La Secta del Mesias" as Muerta Cibernetica changed his name to "El Mesias". With Chessman out of the Black Family the team invited Espiritu to leave Los Vatos Locos and join them, the invitation was accepted without any friction from the rest of Los Vatos Locos. Sometime in 2006 all four members of the Black Family changed their names slightly adding the word "Dark" in front of their names, thus Cuervo became Dark Cuervo although the names are use interchangeably.
In early 2007 Cuervo teamed with Dark Ozz to compete in a 16 team tournament to crown the first everAAA World Tag Team Champions. in the end four teams met in the finals at theRey de Reyes 2007 event. Dark Ozz and Dark Cuervo defeated The Mexican Powers (Crazy Boy and Joe Lider), Los Guapos (Alan Stone and Zumbido) and Real Fuerza Aérea AAA (Pegasso and Super Fly) in an elimination match to win the titles.[3] Cuervo became a double champion when the Black Family won the Atómicos titles from the Mexican Powers on May 20, 2007.[1] The dual title situation only lasted untilTriplemanía XV where the Mexican Powers team of Crazy Boy and Joe Lider won the Tag Team Championship.[3][4]
In early 2008 El Mesias and the rest of La Secta was kicked out of La Legión Extranjera with La Legión putting El Mesias out of commission for a while. When El Mesias returned to active competition tension began to build between the Black Family and El Mesias. The tensions culminated after El Mesias lost aSteel Cage "Street Fight" Match toVampiro atVerano de Escandalo (2008) which led to the Black Family attacking El Mesias officially severing their relationship.[5] After breaking up La Secta del Mesias the group began to feud with El Mesias. DUring the fall and winter of 2008 both Charly Manson and Chessman made hints at them possibly returning to the Black Family but Manson got injured and taken off TV while Chessman turned on the group after feinting friendship. On January 9, 2009 Chessman teamed withthe Psycho Circus (Killer Clown, Psycho Clown and Zombie Clown) to end the Black Family's Atómicos title run.[1] In November and December 2010 Cuervo and Ozz took part inAll Japan Pro Wrestling'sWorld's Strongest Tag Determination League. The duo managed to win four out of their eight matches in the tournament and finished fifth out of nine teams in the final standings.[6]
In May 2011, Cuervo, Ozz and Espíritu joined La Parka andDrago to formtechnico groupEl Inframundo ("The Underworld") and battle Cibernético'sLos Bizarros, which also included their former stable mate Escoria.[7] Cuervo and Ozz returned to All Japan Pro Wrestling in September 2011 and, after Ozz pinnedWorld Tag Team ChampionKENSO in a six-man tag team match, were named the number one contenders to KENSO's andThe Great Muta's title.[8] On October 9 atHéroes Inmortales, La Parka turnedrudo and jumped toLos Perros del Mal.[9] On October 23, Cuervo and Ozz defeated Muta and KENSO to win the World Tag Team Championship.[10] Cuervo and Ozz returned to AAA on December 16 atGuerra de Titanes, along with Vampiro, who replaced La Parka as the leader ofEl Inframundo.[11] After returning to Japan, Cuervo and Ozz lost the World Tag Team Championship toManabu Soya andTakao Omori in their fourth title defense on March 20, 2012.[12]
On August 18, 2012, the former members ofLa Secta came together with former leader Cibernético's stableLos Bizarros to formLa Secta Bizarra Cibernetica.[13] As part ofLa Secta Bizarra's rivalry withLos Perros del Mal, the two groups faced off on October 7 atHéroes Inmortales in aDomo de la Muerte, where Cuervo was the last person to escape the cage, forcingHalloween to have his head shaved bald.[14] On August 2, 2013, the entireLa Secta turned on Cibernético, forming a newrudo version of the stable.[15][16] On September 11, Cuervo returned to All Japan Pro Wrestling, losing toLow Ki in the first round of the2013 Ōdō Tournament.[17] For the rest of the tour, which lasted until September 23, Cuervo workedundercard tag team matches, suffering pinfall losses in most of them.[18][19][20][21] In November, Cuervo, along with Ozz, returned to take part in the2013 World's Strongest Tag Determination League, where they finished with a record of two wins and five losses, failing to advance from their block.[22][23]
On January 22, 2016, atGuerra de Titanes, Cuervo, Scoria andEl Zorro won the vacantAAA World Trios Championship.[24] They lost the title to OGT (Averno, Chessman andRicky Marvin) on November 4.[25]
