Professional wrestling career

After training with Lucha Libre legend

Heavy Metal and El Felino), Zamora made his debut on July 3, 1995 working as an enmascarado (the Mexican term for a masked wrestler) using the name M-357, which was inspired by the .357 Magnum revolver cartridge. In 1996, he renamed himself Magnum, which was again inspired by the same gun cartridge. In 1998, he completely changed his character and became Quinto Elemento (Spanish for "Fifth Element"). In 2000, he changed his character once again, this time working unmasked but instead with his face painted red and black, using the name Chessman and adopting a Goth-inspired look. The name came from famous criminal Caryl Chessman and the red face paint was supposed to symbolize the blood of his many victims.[1]

The Black Family

Main article: The Black Family

In 2001, Chessman made his AAA debut as part of a new stable called the Black Family, alongside its leader Charly Manson, Ozz, Escoria and Cuervo.[1] The Black Family soon became a part of Lucha Libre Latina (LLL), the Mexican version of the New World Order, a group led by Chessman's long time friend Cibernético. Even though they were part of a much larger group, the Black Family still worked as a unit, a stable within the stable.

The Black Family made their first major show appearance at

Alan, Billy Boy and Decnnis). When Charly Manson returned to action he sided with Los Vipers instead of the Black Family, leading to a match at Guerra de Titanes 2002, where the Black Family defeated Manson, Histeria, Mosco de la Merced, and Psicosis II.[7] 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.[6] Chessman's run of bad luck continued as Octagón and La Parka won the Mexican National Tag Team titles from Chessman and Electroshock.[6] The Black Family would wait over a year before they got another opportunity to hold the titles as they won them on August 20, 2004.[6]

La Secta

La Secta

In 2005, Cibernético formed a new group called

Triplemania XIV.[10] After holding the Atómicos titles for 789 days, the Black Family lost to the Mexican Powers (Crazy Boy, Juventud Guerrera, Joe Líder and Psicosis II) on October 18, 2006.[11] Not long after they lost the tag team titles Chessman turned face
(called "Technicó" in Mexico) and sided with Cibernético and Charly Manson to form "Los Hell Brothers".

Los Hell Brothers

Chessman during the Guerra de Titanes (2009) event

When Cibernetico returned to the ring after a long absence due to injuries, he formed the stable Los Hell Brothers along with longtime friends Cibernético and Charly Manson. The group quickly became the top technicós group due to their battles with La Secta del Mesías and

Verano de Escandalo (2007), Chessman faced El Mesias in the finals but lost the match due to disqualification and thus also lost his UWA title.[14][15][16] On that same show, El Zorro turned on Los Hell Brothers and joined La Legión after the team won the main event.[17]

In December 2007, Cibernético was badly burned during a match and had to take several months off to recover.

Triplemania XVI, Chessman teamed up with La Parka and Silver King in a losing effort to the La Legión team of Bobby Lashley, Electroshock and Kenzo Suzuki.[20] When Vampiro was brought in to take Manson's place, rumors of a break-up of Los Hell Brothers began circulating.[21] The rumors seemed to be reinforced when Chessman won an elimination match to earn a shot at the AAA Mega title.[22] At first, Cibernético congratulated his partner but seemed reluctant to actually set a date for Chessman's title match. The tension came to a head in September when Cibernético came to the ring to congratulate Chessman on a recent win; Manson came to the ring to try and mediate between the two but, when he could not pick sides, the Hell Brothers officially disbanded.[23]

Turning rudo

Chessman and fellow Legión Extranjera member Psicosis

With the split of Los Hell Brothers, Chessman became a "rudo" and the title match he earned was booked for

Verano de Escandalo. On that night, Cibernético was able to retain the title but not without Chessman putting up a stiff fight.[24] Chessman was granted another shot at the world title, this was in a match that also included El Zorro. The three men faced off at the Antonio Peña Memorial Show 2008 in a Street Fight where Cibernético won by pinning El Zorro.[25]

In late 2008, Chessman made a move to seemingly unite with his former stable the Black Family, but double-crossed them instead. Chessman turned to

the Psycho Circus and together they won the National Atómicos Titles from the Black Family.[26] Chessman's third run with the Atómicos titles ended after just 16 days when AAA Commissioner Vampiro stripped Chessman and the Psycho Circus of the titles after they had attacked him the previous night.[27] The feud with the Black Family continued into 2009 until Chessman segued into a feud with the new AAA World Champion El Mesias. The feud with El Mesias started during a television taping where Chessman and El Mesias faced off in a match; the match got so out of hand that Chessman ended up being thrown over the side of the balcony and through a stack of tables. The show went to commercial with Chessman looking seriously injured as he received medical treatment.[28][29] The following week, another singles match between the two was scheduled but Chessman came out on crutches wearing a neck brace. Just as El Mesias thought Chessman was going to announce that he was too injured to wrestle, Chessman attacked him with a crutch revealing that the injury was nothing but a ruse to give Chessman an advantage.[30] At Rey de Reyes (2009), Chessman challenged El Mesias for the AAA Mega title inside a Steel Cage but lost.[31]

On March 12, 2010 Chessman competed for and won the 2010

El Hijo del Perro Aguayo.[39]

On March 16, 2014, at

Mary Apache on March 5, 2017, when Marvin was defeated by Faby in a singles match.[50]
