Fabian Nuñez Napoles (born January 20, 1979) is a Mexican Luchador (professional wrestler), better known by the ring name Rey Escorpión. Nuñez works for the Mexico City based professional wrestling promotion Lucha Libre Elite (LLE) and portrays a Rudo or bad guy character. He worked for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) from 2009 to 2016 and prior to that worked for Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA) from 2008 to 2008 where he was known as Escorpión Negro. Nuñez ring name is Spanish for "Scorpion King".
While working for CMLL Nuñez won the CMLL World Light Heavyweight Championship as well as winning the annual Torneo Gran Alternativa tournament twice, with Último Guerrero and Boby Zavala respectively. He was a member of Los Guerreros del Infierno group from 2011 to 2012, but in late 2012 he left that group to form his own faction called Los Revolucionarios del Terror ("The Revolutionaries of Terror") alongside Dragón Rojo, Jr. and Pólvora.
Nuñez Napoles trained for his professional wrestling career under Mocho Cota before his professional debut in 1999, and later received further training from El Satánico and Fobia as he was trying to establish himself on the Mexican independent circuit. Early in his career Nuñez worked under the ring name Escorpión Negro or Escorpión Negro, Jr. (despite not being the son of a wrestler called Escorpión Negro). In 2006 he began a storyline feud against Hombre Sin Miedo ("The Man Without Fear") that would span several months. On June 10, 2006 Escorpión Negro lost a Lucha de Apuestas, or "bet match", to Hombre Sin Miedo and thus was forced to remove his mask and reveal his birth name. Three months later he gained a small measure of revenge by defeating Hombre Sin Miedo to win the AAA Norther Middleweight Championship. He held it for just over a month before Hombre Sin Miedo regained the championship.
