José Aarón Alvarado Nieves (May 9, 1966 – October 27, 1999) was a Mexican luchador or masked professional wrestler, best known under the ring names Robin Hood, El Arquero and Brazo Cibernético. José Aarón was a member of the extensive Alvarado wrestling family founded by his father, Shadito Cruz, which includes José Aarón's five brothers and a large number of third-generation wrestlers. Most of the Alvarado family wrestlers are using or have used a ring name including the word "Brazo" ("Arm") at some point in their careers. He died from an infection.
Professional wrestling career
José Aarón Alvarado was the fourth out of six sons of Shadito Cruz to become professional wrestlers, trained by his oldest brother Jesús Alvarado Nieves (better known under the ring name "Brazo de Oro"; Golden Arm) and made his debut on December 15, 1979 under the ring name Sputnik.[2][3]
Robin Hood / Arquero (1980s–1990s)
In the early 1980s José Aarón Alvarado decided to adopt a new ring identity but decided to not use the "Brazo" name invoked by his older brothers that worked as Brazo de Oro,
Other ring characters (1990s)
Following the hair loss and the loss of the Trios title Los Arqueros Alvarado began working under different names and for different promotions. In 1991 he started to work for the
Brazo Cibernético (1996–1999)
In 1996 Alvarado adopted another ring character, this time as the masked Brazo Cibernético ("Cybernetic Arm") as he started working for Promo Azteca, an affiliate of AAA. In Promo Azteca he would often team with his brothers, working trios matches on the mid-card. On August 3, 1997, Alvarado lost a Luchas de Apuestas match to Taurus and was forced to unmask.[1] In 1998 he began working for International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG) as well as a number of other Mexican Independent promotions. On April 21, 1999, Brazo Cibernético, El Brazo and Brazo de Oro defeated Los Bestias Negras (I, II and III) in a trios Luchas de Apuestas match and thus forced all three Bestia Negras to have their hair shaved off after the match.
Death
José Aarón Alvarado Nieves died from what was described as an "acute infection" on October 27, 1999, with no prior indicators of any health issues.[1][2][3]
The Alvarado family
The Alvarado wrestling family spans three generations starting with Shadito Cruz followed by his 6 sons and a third generation of wrestlers that started working in the late 1990s.[3] One of José Aarón Alvarado's sons is currently working for CMLL as Robin (originally "Robin Hood Jr."). There is currently someone wrestling as "Brazo Cibernético Jr." and sometimes only "Brazo Cibernético" on the independent circuit, but it remains unconfirmed how that person is related to the Alvarado family, only that he indeed is a member of the family.[11]
