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 Alvarado was a part of the extensive Alvarado wrestling family that was founded by his father Shadito Cruz and includes Alvarado's five brothers as well as a large number of third generation wrestlers. Most of the wrestlers in the Alvarado family is using or has used a ring name with the word "Brazo" ("Arm") in it at some point in their career. He died from an infection.
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.
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, Brazo de Plata and El Brazo instead creating the masked character "Robin Hood" after the fictional folk hero. In the early 1980s Robin Hood teamed up with Pequeño Solín to win the Mexico City-based Distrito Federal Tag Team Championship On March 29, 1984 Robin Hood defeated Frayle Pop in a Luchas de Apuestas, or bet match, forcing Frayle Pop to unmask. At the time it was not revealed that Frayle Pop was in fact José Alvarado's younger brother Martín Alvarado. Over the years Robin Hood began teaming with two other lightweight wrestlers known as Danny Boy and Lasser. The three formed a trio known as Los Arqueros del Espacio ("The Space Archers") and worked as a regular trio in and around Mexico City. The three won the Distrito Federal Trios Championship at one point in time. Lost Arqueros became regular workers for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) in the late 1980s. By 1990 Los Arqueros became involved in a long-running storyline feud against another trio called Los Temerarios ("The Terrors"), Black Terry, Jose Luis Feliciano and Shu el Guerrero. Los Arqueros won the Mexican National Trios Championship from Los Temerarios on January 21, 1990 as another chapter of their feud unfolded. The following month Shu El Guerrero defeated Robin Hood in a Luchas de Apuestas match, forcing him to unmask. Following the mask loss Alvarado would at times wrestle as "El Arquero" ("The Archer") when teaming with Danny Boy and Lasser. As part of their feud with Los Temerarios the teams met in a three-on-three Luchas de Apuestas match that left Arquero, Danny Boy and Lasser shaved bald as a result of losing the match.Los Arqueros lost the Mexican National Trios Championship on August 17, 1990 when they were defeated by Los Thundercats (Leono, Panthro and Tigro).
