Rey Escorpión

Fabian Nuñez Napoles (born January 20, 1979) is a Mexican Luchador (professional wrestler), better known by the ring name Rey Escorpión. Nuñez works for the Mexico City based professional wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) and portrays a Rudo or bad guy character. His ring name is Spanish for "Scorpion King". In late 2012 he formed his own faction called Los Revolucionarios del Terror ("The Revolutionaries of Terror") alongside Dragón Rojo, Jr. and Pólvora.

Professional wrestling career

Nuñez Napoles trained for his professional wrestling career under Mocho Cota before his professional debut and later also learned from El Satánico and Fobia as well. Early in his career Nuñez worked under the ring name Escorpión Negro or Escorpión Negro, Jr. (despite not being the son of a wrestler called Escorpión Negro).

Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (2008–2009)

Escorpión began working on and off for Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA) starting around 2000, working primarily on smaller shows when AAA toured the north of Mexico. During this period he held the AAA Northern Middleweight Championship. In 2008 then-members of the AAA group Los Guapos ("The Beautiful") Scorpio, Jr. and Zumbido left the AAA promotion to join International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG) instead. Following their departure Escorpión Negro was introduced as a new member of Los Guapos VIP, joining El Brazo and Decnnis to complete the team. Escorpión Negro and the rest of Los Guapos VIP teamed with Pirata Morgan in a loss to the team of |El Alebrije, Brazo de Plata, El Elegido, and Pimpinela Escarlata on the undercard of the 2008 Verano de Escándalo show. Escorpión Negro only worked with Los Guapos sporadically after the event, wrestling mainly on local shows in and around Monterrey, Nuevo León. He would occasionally work as part of the Vipers Revolution group as well but did not achieve any significant success in AAA.
