Matches in DBpedia 2014 for { ?s ?p 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 group worked as a tecnico (term used for wrestlers who portray the "good guys") faction. Most of the mebers of the team were brothers, part of the Hernández wrestling family, with only Bronce I, Platino I and Platino II are not related to the rest of the team. 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. The two were soon joined by a wrestler known as Platino (Platinum) to form a trio tag team known as Los Metalicos (The Metals). Platino was not a member of the Hernández but actually veteran wrestler Chamaco Valaguez under the mask. The team was quickly matched up against another trios team, a rudo ("Bad guy") trio known as Los Destructores ("The Destroyers"), with whom they had a series of very good matches. The fans quickly responded to the young team, vocally supporting the team when they wrestled, and showing appreciation for the fact that Plata and Platino were skilled high flying wrestlers and Oro had an aerial wrestling style that was unusual for the time. Oro's frequent and skilled execution of moves off the top rope helped usher in a style change in Lucha Libre as wrestlers started to incorporate more moves like planchas and topes, inspired by Oro's performances. Oro and Plata won their first professional wrestling championship just over a year after their debut, defeating Los Destructores to win the Mexican National Tag Team Championship on December 4, 1991. The following week a rematch between the two teams ended in a controversial manner and the championship was vacated. The following week Los Destructores regained the vacant title. Los Metalicos also captured the Distrito Federal Trios Championship at some point in 1991, but later lost the championship to Los Guerreros del Futuro ("The Warriors of the Future"; Damian el Guerrero, Guerrero del Futuro, and Guerrero Maya. In late 1991 Chamaco Valaguez abandoned the Platino character and retired, which led to a third Hernández being given the character.Due to his style Oro was moved away from teaming with Los Metalicos to a singles career, which EMLL replacing him with Bronce (Bronze), a wrestling character patterned on Oro's image, but replacing gold with Bronze. Just like the original Platino Bronce was not a member of the Hernández family. EMLL put Oro in a storyline feud with veteran wrestler Mano Negra (The Black Hand). On May 23, 1993, Oro defeated Mano Negra to win the NWA World Middleweight Championship. This was the only singles title Oro held during his career. Mano Negra regained the title three weeks later on July 3. At some point during 1992 Bronce left EMLL and adopted a new ring persona. EMLL drafted a fourth Hernández brother to play the part of Bronce II. 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. 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). On October 26, 1993 Oro died following an in-ring mishap in one of the most infamous incidents in Lucha Libre. Following the death of the original Oro his brother Ismael Hernández Solís adopted the "Oro" ring character for about a year before retiring. Once Ismael Hernández Solís retired Ismael Hernández Islas took over the character, officially billed as Oro III. Following the deal of Oro Los Metálicos stopped working as a trio, with most of the members either retiring or adopting a different mask and character, only occasionally working under their Los Metálicos names with the exception of Oro II. In 2011 Oro III was introduced to the wrestling world; he later began working for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) as Oro, Jr.. }
