Los Metálicos (Spanish for "The Metallic Ones") was a Mexican professional wrestling group, called a stable, who worked in Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) between 1991 and 1993.
The team used metallic gimmicks such as Oro ("Gold"), Plata ("Silver"), Bronce ("Bronze"), and Platino ("Platinum") and all started out as enmascarados, or masked wrestlers with only one member being unmasked before his retirement or death.
Los Metálicos started out with brothers Jesús Javier Hernández Silva and Ismael Hernández Solís adopting the enmascarado ("masked wrestlers) characters Oro ("Gold") and Plata ("Silver") with identical masks, only difference was that one had a gold pattern and the other had a silver pattern.
[6] During the height of their popularity rival promoter Antonio Peña tried to lure the trio to leave EMLL and join Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA) instead, but the move was never made.
[1] Instead Peña created a similarly themed trio called Las Gemas del Ring ("The Gemstones of the Ring"), consisting of three wrestlers in identical outfits and masks, except for the color of the gemstone they represented (Blue for Diamante, Silver for Brillante and golden for Zafiro).
In 2011 Oro III was introduced to the wrestling world; he later began working for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) as Oro, Jr.[10] The Hernández family has been in the professional wrestling business for three generations, starting with the brothers collectively known as Los Hermanos Calavera ("The Skull Brothers"), their six sons and one grandson who either are or have been professional wrestlers at some point.
In 1992 he participated in a tournament to crown a new CMLL World Middleweight Championship when the title was vacated due to previous champion Blue Panther leaving the promotion.
[8] In 1995 he participated in a tournament to crown a new NWA World Welterweight Championship, defeating Rey Bucanero, Jr. in the first round, but losing to El Felino in the second.
With the original Bronce gone, EMLL gave the ring character to a nephew of the Hernández brothers to keep the Los Metálicos group going.
