Los Cancerberos del Infierno (Spanish for "The Infernal Cerberusses" or "Infernal Hellhounds") is a villainous Mexican professional wrestling stable, currently working for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL). The group works as a rudo (term used for wrestlers who portray the "Bad guys") faction and used much flame and burning imagery in their wrestling apparel. As of April 2022, the stable only consists of Virus and Cancerbero. Pólvora, Euforia and Demus 3:16 were formerly members of the stable but have since left. Founding member Raziel would remain a part of the stable until his death.
History
A Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) press conference on November 19, 2009 was used to officially announce that Virus was the leader of a new CMLL group called Los Cancerberos del Infierno (Spanish for "the Infernal Cerberusses") a group that beyond Virus consisted of Euforia and Pólvora as well as two new characters Cancerbero and Raziel. Cancerbero and Raziel used to wrestle under the ring names Messala and Caligula, otherwise known as Los Romanos a low-card rudo tag team.{{cite web | url= http://superluchas.com/cmll-los-hijos-del-averno-y-no-limit-firmaron-los-contratos-para-sin-salida-se-presentan-los-cancerveros/| title= CMLL- Los Hijos del Averno y No Limit firmaron los contratos para Sin Salida – Se presentan los Cancerberos – Flash ahora será Fuego| author=Maquina, Alva | date= November 19, 2009 | accessdate= November 20, 2009 | work=Súper Luchas| language=Spanish}} On the January 15, 2010 Super Viernes Raziel defeated Ángel de Plata in a Lighting match, continuing the building storyline between the two factions.{{cite news | title = Guerrero, obligado a exponer el título | work =Súper Luchas| id = issue 347 | date = January 18, 2010 | author= Islas, Alejandro | pages= 19–21 | url=http://superluchas.com/2010/01/17/entrevista-exclusiva-a-rey-mysterio-y-a-dr-wagner-iii/ | accessdate = February 24, 2009| language = Spanish}} In late 2009 Los Cancerberos participated in a tournament to crown new Mexican National Trios Champion, Virus, Pólvora and Euforia represented the group and defeated Los Ángeles Celestiales (Ángel Azteca Jr., Ángel de Plata and Ángel de Oro) in the first round.{{cite news | author = Súper Luchasstaff | title = El Novato del Año: Angel de Oro | work =Súper Luchas| id = issue 346 | date = January 11, 2010 | url=http://superluchas.com/2010/01/10/super-luchas-346-11-enero-2010-%e2%80%93-lo-mejor-de-la-lucha-libre-mexicana-en-2009-hulk-hogan-en-tna-bret-hart-en-wwe/ | accessdate = March 10, 2010 | language = Spanish}} Following the tournament loss Los Ángeles Celestiales and Los Cancerberos del Infierno have developed a rivalry between the two groups, facing off on various CMLL shows, including their Friday night CMLL Super Viernes show.{{cite web | url= http://www.wrestleview.com/news2009/1264809342.php | title= Viva La Raza! Lucha Weekly | author= Boutwell, Josh | date= January 29, 2010 | accessdate= February 26, 2010 | publisher=WrestleView}} In early 2010 Euforia was entered in the first ever Torneo Nacional de Parejas Increibles tournament, a tournament where CMLL normally teams up a Tecnico and a Rudo for a tournament where the teams represent the region they trained in. Euforia teamed up with Ephesto to form the only "all rudo" team in the group. In the first round Euforia and Ephesto lost to tournament favorites Místico and Averno.{{cite web |url=http://superluchas.com/cmll-en-la-arena-mexico-viernes-22-de-enero-2010-mistico-se-vuelve-rudo/ |title=CMLL en la Arena México (Viernes 22 de enero 2010) – ¿Místico se vuelve rudo? |date=January 23, 2010 |accessdate=February 26, 2010 |author=Velazquez, Istrael |work=Súper Luchas |language=Spanish}}
In late 2010 Mini-Estrella Demus 3:16 won a tournament to earn the right to work in the regular male division instead.{{cite web | url= http://superluchas.com/arena-mexico-resultados-martes-24-de-agosto-demus-316-gana-el-torneo-bicentenario-de-minis-y-se-une-con-los-grandes | title= Arena México (Resultados martes 24 de agosto) – Demus 3:16 gana el torneo bicentenario de minis y se une con los "grandes" | author=Ruiz Glez, Alex | date= August 25, 2010 | accessdate= March 12, 2011 | work=Súper Luchas | language=Spanish}} Once promoted Demus 3:16 joined Los Cancereros and almost immediately started to develop friction with Virus, as Demus 3:16 tried to take over as the leader of the group. The storyline came to a conclusion on March 11, 2011, when Virus defeated Demus 3:16 in a Hair vs. Hair match, which let Virus keep his position as the leader of Los Cancerberos del Infierno and send Demus back into the Mini-Estrellas division. On June 7, 2011, Virus defeated Guerrero Maya Jr. in a tournament final to win the vacant CMLL World Lightweight Championship.{{cite web| url= http://loscoliseinos.blogspot.com/2011/06/dr-x-y-fuego-encienden-una-nueva.html | title= !Dr. X y Fuego encienden de nueva cuenta su rivalidad!
