Los Ingobernables

History

Throughout his career in Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL), Rush had been presented as a técnico or a "hero" character, but who had also occasionally showed villainous rudo tendencies during his matches. In mid-2013, this part of Rush's storyline was once again brought to the forefront as the crowd reaction to him grew more and more negative, leading to him eventually being dubbed "the most hated wrestler in CMLL", despite still officially being a técnico. Rush then formed a partnership with La Máscara, with whom he went on to win the Mexican National Trios Championship and the CMLL World Tag Team Championship. Rush then started storyline rivalries with Negro Casas and Shocker, as part of which Rush, La Máscara and Titán lost the Mexican National Trios Championship to Casas' La Peste Negra stable. Meanwhile, longtime técnico La Sombra also began experiencing negative fan reactions due to his rival Volador Jr.'s recent turn to the técnico side. The two storylines came together on April 25, 2014, when Rush, La Máscara and La Sombra first attacked Volador Jr. and then the trio of Casas, Shocker and Mr. Niebla. Though the three effectively became rudos, with CMLL dubbing Rush and La Sombra in particular as the two most hated men in the promotion's recent history, they refused to acknowledge themselves as such, instead calling themselves "técnicos diferentes". The trio was originally dubbed Los Indeseables ("The Undesirables"), before being renamed Los Ingobernables ("The Ungovernables"). Officially Los Ingobernables had no leader with the members billed as equals, however, CMLL fans perceived Rush as the leader of the group.

Following the official formation of Los Ingobernables, members of the trio continued their rivalries with Casas, Shocker and Volador Jr. On June 6, La Sombra faced Volador Jr. in a double title match, where the former's NWA World Historic Middleweight Championship and the latter's NWA World Historic Welterweight Championship were both on the line. In the end, following outside interference from both La Máscara and Rush, La Sombra was victorious, becoming a double champion. On June 13, Rush and La Máscara lost the CMLL World Tag Team Championship to Casas and Shocker. The rivalries both culminated on August 1 at El Juicio Final, where La Sombra lost the NWA World Historic Welterweight Championship back to Volador Jr., while Rush defeated Casas in a Lucha de Apuestas ("bet match"), forcing him to have his head shaved. In late 2014, Rush began sporadically teaming with his former El Bufete del Amor stablemate Marco Corleone. When Rush broke two bones in his ankle in November, Corleone took his place by La Máscara and La Sombra's side, becoming the fourth member of Los Ingobernables. Corleone remained a member of Los Ingobernables even after Rush's February 2015 return.

While he was touring CMLL in May and June 2015, La Sombra's New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) tag team partner Tetsuya Naito was made the fifth member of Los Ingobernables. Upon his return to NJPW, Naito formed his own Los Ingobernables offshoot group, named Los Ingobernables de Japon. On September 18, La Sombra was unmasked after losing to Atlantis in a Lucha de Apuestas at the 82nd Anniversary Show. In early November, Rush and La Sombra began having issues with each other, which led to a singles match between the two on November 13, where Rush was victorious. After the match, the two founding members of Los Ingobernables made peace with each other. It later turned out that this was La Sombra's final CMLL match as on November 19 it was announced that he had signed with WWE.

During the February 19 Super Viernes show, Rush, La Máscara and Corleone faced Atlantis, Valiente and Rush and Corleone's former Bufete del Amor partner Máximo Sexy in a six-man tag team match. After failing to get along with his partners throughout the match, Corleone stood up for Máximo as he was being brutalized by Rush and La Máscara, leading the two to turn on him and kick him out of Los Ingobernables. On March 18 at the 2016 Homenaje a Dos Leyendas, Rush defeated Máximo Sexy in a Hair vs. Hair Lucha de Apuestas with help from his real-life father Pierroth, who became the newest member of Los Ingobernables. On April 8, La Máscara defeated Ángel de Oro to win the CMLL World Light Heavyweight Championship. On May 13, the three Los Ingobernables members were defeated by TGR (Rey Bucanero, Shocker and El Terrible) in a six-man tag team match, after which Rush and Pierroth turned on La Máscara and attacked him. After being saved by TGR, La Máscara announced he was quitting Los Ingobernables and challenged Rush to a Lucha de Apuestas. Afterwards, Rush announced Los Ingobernables would continue with him and his father as its only two members. On June 27, after weeks of teasing an alliance between Rush and Rey Escorpión, Escorpión abandoned his Los Revolucionarios del Terror stable and officially joined Los Ingobernables. On September 2, Rush and La Máscara reconciled, after the latter had lost his mask to Rush's real-life brother Dragon Lee. Though it was initially left unclear as to what this meant for Los Ingobernables, La Máscara eventually rejoined the stable, once again becoming its third member, following Rey Escorpión's departure from CMLL.

Reception

In April 2016, Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter wrote that the Los Ingobernables concept of having Rush, once a babyface rejected by Arena México crowds, turn heel and "embrace the negative", had made him a "far more effective headliner".
