Amezquita originally worked in Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre ' s ( CMLL ) Minis division and held the CMLL World Mini - Estrella Championship under the name " Damiancito El Guerrero " , but was later moved into the regular division and given the name " Virus " . As Virus Amezquita has held the CMLL Japan Super Lightweight Championship , CMLL World Super Lightweight Championship and the Mexican National Lightweight Championship and is currently the leader of " Los Cancerberos del Infierno " , a group consisting of wrestlers Euforia , Pólvora , Raziel and Cancerbero . Professional wrestling career . Ricardo Amezquita made his professional wrestling debut on April 20 , 1986 , under the ring name " Bird Boy " , an enmascarado , or masked wrestler , with a bird inspired ring persona . Because of his small size he mainly worked on the low end of the card in the Universal Wrestling Association promotion . On July 27 , 1991 Bird Boy defeated Super Archie to win the UWA World Featherweight Championship . He would hold the Featherweight title for over a year , losing it on August 25 , 1992 to El Coralillo . Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre . Amezquita had already begun working with Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre ( CMLL ) before he lost the UWA World Featherweight Championship , and became CMLL Exclusive after dropping the title . in 1992 then - CMLL booker Antonio Peña left Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre ( CMLL ) to form his own promotion , Asistencia Asesoría y Administración ( AAA ) ; Peña had been the mastermind behind the CMLL Minis division and most of the Minis in CMLL decided to leave with Peña . Amezquita and a number of other wrestlers were brought in to replenish the division . Working in the Mini division does not mean that Amezquita has dwarfism , it is not uncommon for very short wrestlers to work in the " Mini " division in Mexico . Ricardo Amezquita was one of the wrestlers brought into CMLL to replenish the division after losing most of their workers and was given the ring persona of " Piratita Morgan " , a mini version of Pirata Morgan who worked in CMLL at the time and replaced the original Piratita Morgan that had left CMLL to join AAA . In 1994 Pirata Morgan left CMLL to join AAA as well , negating the need to have the smaller version working in CMLL . Instead he was given the name " Damiancito El Guerrero " after CMLL wrestler " Damian El Guerrero " . In 1995 He toured Japan and worked for the W * ING promotion where he was billed simply as " Damiancito " , the mini version of Damián 666 who worked for W * ING as well , subsequently he has mistakenly been described as working as " Damiancito " in CMLL as well , but it was only in Japan that he worked as a mini of Damián 666 . After returning from Japan he defeated FireMáscarita Mágica to win the CMLL World Mini - Estrella Championship on February 27 , 1996 . In late 1997 CMLL booked an eight - man elimination match where the winner would earn the right to tag team with " regular sized " wrestlers . Damiancito El Guerrero defeated Cicloncito Ramírez , Tritoncito , Pequeño Cochisse , Platita , Guerreroito del Future , Pequeño Sayama an Fierito to earn the right to work with " regular sized " wrestlers . Virus . In early 1998 he made his debut as part of the regular sized division under the name " Virus " , no mention was made that Virus used to work as Damiancito El Guerrero or the fact that he still held the CMLL World Mini - Estrella Championship . On May 7 , 1998 Virus defeated Akira to win the vacant Mexican National Lightweight Championship , a title CMLL had brought back to help showcase smaller workers such as Virus . After winning the title Virus worked a storyline feud against El Orientál , centering around Virus ' Mexican Lightweight title and Orientál ' s Districto Federatl Lightweight title . Despite several title matches neither belt changed hands during the course of the storyline . By 1999 CMLL decided that it was time to crown a new CMLL World Mini - Estrella Champion as Virus was still technically the champion despite not having worked as a mini for over a year . Instead of making Virus return to the Minis division to lose the title CMLL decided to give the championship to Ultimo Dragoncito and then subsequently announce that Ultimo Dragoncito had " won " the title on an undisclosed day in October , 1999 . In 1999 to 2000 CMLL made several tours of Japan to establish a " CMLL Japan " branch , Virus was one of the workers who regularly toured Japan and would capture the CMLL Japan Super Lightweight Championship on November 25 , 1999 . On August 6 , 2000 Virus lost the CMLL Japan Super Lightweight title on Ricky Marvin and then on November 29 , 2000 also lost the Mexican National Lightweight title to Ricky Marvin . Virus continued to show that while he may not have the size to be a headliner he had a knack for helping young wrestlers improve by working with them in the ring . After having been a " Rudo " ( a Heel , or bad guy ) his entire career Virus was turned " Tecnico " ( Face or good guy ) in 2002 . In 2003 he took part in a series of matches between CMLL " tecnicos " , himself , Ricky Marvin and Volador , Jr . , and a group called " the Havana Brothers " based out of southern California that consisted of Rocky Romero , Ricky Reyes and T . J . Perkins ) . The well received series of matches between the six led CMLL to create the CMLL World Super Lightweight Championship . Rocky Romero became the first champion but lost the title to Virus on November 14 , 2003 . Virus held the title for 392 days before losing it back to Rocky Romero . In 2005 Virus was turned " Rudo " once more and generally used to help young , high - flying tecnicos get more experience . When El Satánico started working a reduced schedule in late 2008 Virus became the unofficial leader of " Los Infernales " , teaming with Euforia and Nosferatu . Los Cancerberos del Infierno . At a CMLL press conference on November 19 , 2009 it was officially announced that Virus was the leader of a new CMLL group called " Los Cancerberos del Infierno " ( Spanish for " the Infernal Cerberos " ) a group that beyond Virus consisted of Euforia and Pólvora as well as two new characters Cancerbero and Raziel used to wrestle as Messala and Caligula , otherwise known as " Los Romanos " a low card " Rudo " tag team . On March 11 , 2011 , Virus defeated Demus 3 : 16 in a Hair vs . Hair match to also retain his spot 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 regain the World Super Lightweight Championship .
