Professional wrestling career
AAA (1998–2009)
In 1998, the Mexican
On August 20, 2004 Cuije and El Alebrije won the AAA Mascot Tag Team Championship by defeating champions Máscara Sagrada/Mascarita Sagrada as well as Monsther/Chucky and Psicosis/Mini Psicosis to win the title.[5][6] They would defend the championship in subsequent years, primarily against Chucky and Monsther.[6] Their final official AAA Mascota Tag Team Championship match took place on December 2, 2007, where they defeated Chucky and Monsther and the team of Guapito and Scorpio Jr.[6]
Independent circuit (2009–2010)
In April 2009 Cuije and El Alebrije left AAA, citing their dissatisfaction with the amount of opportunities they were given in recent years.[7] After leaving AAA Alebrije, with Cuije at his side, began working on the Mexican independent circuit, especially for International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG) and Perros del Mal Producciones.[8][9]
While Cuije and El Alebrije continued to use the names they were given by AAA, the company claimed that they owned the characters. To try and address this issue the team began working as "Pequeño Cuije" "Little Cuije") and "Gran Alebrije" ("Big Alebrije") when appearing for Extreme Air Wrestling.
Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (2010–present)
On April 12, 2010 a contingent of former AAA wrestlers including Cuije, El Alebrije,
While Los Invasores disbanded the following year Alebrije and Cuije became a regular fixture on CMLL shows, often with Cuije clashing with fellow mascotas KeMonito and Zacarías el Perico, and brawls between any of the Mascotas usually drew a loud reaction from the crowd.[17][18][19] In January 2012, CMLL repackaged Cuije, Alebrije, and Histeria with new ring characters. Alebrije returned to performing under the Kraneo gimmick, while Cuije was renamed Mije, which was done because AAA claimed the copyright ownership of the names and characters.[20][21][22]
In early 2017 CMLL recruited Mije and fellow mascota Zacarías to help establish a Micro-Estrellas ("Micro-Stars") division, featuring only wrestlers with dwarfism. The first match of the Micro-Estrellas division took place on April 30, 2017, which saw Microman and El Gallito defeat Mije and Zacarías in a special featured match.[23][24] Mije and the Micro-Estrellas would appear on various CMLL shows, as well as making special appearances on the Mexican independent circuit, such as The Crash Lucha Libre,[25] Promociones El Cholo,[26] or Desastre Total Ultraviolento.[27]
For the first anniversary of the Micro-Estrellas division, CMLL held an eight-micros
Reception
Súper Luchas magazine described the Micro-Estrellas division debut match between Microman and El Gallito vs. Mije and Zacarías, as "an encounter with a fall that literally stole the night."[36]
