Los Vipers is a professional wrestling group, called a stable, which has existed in various incarnations in the Mexican wrestling promotions Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA) since 1997. The group has consistently been presented as a Rudo (bad guy) stable. The group was founded by Cibernético and has featured a large number of wrestlers over the years. Currently the group consists of three members and is known as Los Vipers 2.0. Over the years the group has also been known as Los Vipers Extrema, Los Vipers Primera Clase and Vipers Revolucion.
The foundation to Los Vipers was laid in the beginning of 1997, several months before Los Vipers was unveiled. The basis of Los Vipers was created when AAA formed a group where most of the members would go on to form Los Vipers.
In early 1997 AAA owner Antonio Peña decided to create a rúdo group to feud with the popular Los Cadetes del Espacio ("Space Cadets") group of young, high-flying wrestlers. Peña repackaged several wrestlers to create Los Rudos de la Galaxia ("The Villains of the Galaxy") a group consisting of Abismo Negro, Maniaco, Mosco de la Merced, Histeria and March-1. The Cadetes del Espacio vs. Rudos de la Galaxia was featured on a long number of AAA shows and even made its way to the United States through a working relationship between AAA and the World Wrestling Federation and was featured on both Raw is War and WWF Shotgun Saturday Night.
In August, 1997 Cibernético unveiled a new stable called Los Vipers, besides himself the group consisted of former Rudos de la Galaxia members Abismo Negro, Maniaco, Mosco de la Merced and Histeria. The core group was joined by Psicosis II and Electroshock as well as Los Mini Vipers, Mini-Estrella Mini Abismo Negro, Mini Histeria and Mosquito de la Merced. Not long after Los Vipers was formed AAA had to replace the original Histeria, who became Super Crazy with a new Histeria. Only a short time later AAA also had to replace the original Mosco de la Merced as well, when he left the promotion, with a new Mosco de la Merced, sometimes referred to as Mosco de la Merced II. Los Vipers was a huge hit, they were a group of wrestlers people would gladly paid to see in the hopes that the good guys would beat them. The group worked several heated storylines against groups such as Los Payasos (Spanish for "The Clowns"; a group of wrestlers all dressing like clowns) as well as groups such as Los Vatos Locos ("The Crazy guys") and Los Junior Atómicos.
