Apolo Estrada Jr., is the ring name of Roberto Guadalupe Estrada Zúñiga (born January 10, 1987) a Mexican Luchador or professional wrestler. He is the son of professional wrestler Apolo Estrada and has worked for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL), International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG) as well as working for a large number of professional wrestling promotions on the Mexican independent circuit. From 2009 to 2015 he was a member of a wrestling group known as Los Gringos VIP and currently forms a team known as Los Insportables with Eterno.
Roberto Estrada began his professional wrestling career in 2000, working as the enmascarado character El Chupacabras. Estrada was around 13 years old when he wrestled his first match, something that is not unheard of in Lucha Libre
By 2003 he began working regularly in Monterrey, now unmasked and billed as Apolo Estrada Jr. for Federacion Internacional de Lucha Libre. Over the next five years Estrada Jr. was a regular worker for the promotion, holding a number of different championships, often teaming with Estrella Dorada Jr. During his time in Monterrey he competed in a number of Luchas de Apuestas, or bet matches, the most prestigious match type in Mexico. He won the hair of Crazzy Demon, Androide, Potro Jr. and Gato Volador as well as the mask of Black Gordman Jr. By the same token he also lost several match and as a result was shaved bald after losing to long time partner/rival Estrella Dorada Jr. as well as Corazo de Barrior and Hombre Sin Miedo.
In 2009 Estrada Jr. began working for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) as a low ranked rudo (those that portray the "bad guys"). The highlight of his time in CMLL was a ten man steel cage match where Apolo Estrada Jr. defeated Brazo de Platino in the end, forcing Brazo de Platino to be shaved bald as a result.
