The Mexicools

**The Mexicools** made their WWE debut as villains on June 23, 2005, when Juventud, Super Crazy, and Psicosis rode to the ring on a John Deere lawn mower, with the sticker saying the more Hispanic-sounding name Juan Deere, and wearing matching coveralls. They attacked both Chavo Guerrero and Paul London during a WWE Cruiserweight Championship match. Juventud cut a promo questioning the lack of "true Mexican Luchadores" in WWE's cruiserweight division, before going on to deride the current state of Mexican Americans in general. In the following weeks, they would continue to interfere in matches and mock the stereotypical image of Mexicans in the United States, even coming to the ring each with their own riding lawnmower.

They had their debut match on the July 14 episode of *SmackDown!*, a victory over Paul London, Funaki and Scotty 2 Hotty. They made their pay-per-view debut at The Great American Bash, defeating the reunited Blue World Order. In the following weeks, they would interfere in matches involving William Regal and in Christian's *Peep Show* interview segment.

The Mexicools next feuded with the heel Full Blooded Italians on *Velocity*, and this saw the group turn into fan favorites. Juventud won a Cruiserweight battle royal that included all three Mexicools, thus earning a match for the Cruiserweight Championship at No Mercy. Juventud would win the match against Nunzio at No Mercy and the title.

The Mexicools would then turn their attention to winning the WWE Tag Team Championship. Juventud lost the Cruiserweight Championship back to Nunzio at a house show in Italy. That week, on the *SmackDown!*tribute show to Eddie Guerrero, all three Mexicools participated in an interpromotional battle royal, which Juventud won. On the November 25 *SmackDown!*, Juventud defeated Nunzio to become the Cruiserweight Champion once more. On the December 2 *SmackDown!*, Psicosis and Super Crazy won a number one contenders battle royal to face tag champions MNM at Armageddon. This became just a regular tag team match after MNM lost the WWE Tag Team Championship on the last *SmackDown!* before Armageddon to Rey Mysterio and Batista. At Armageddon, Juventud lost the Cruiserweight Championship to Kid Kash, and MNM defeated Super Crazy and Psicosis with help from Melina.

Juventud was released from WWE on January 6, 2006, leaving Psicosis and Super Crazy as the only remaining team members. On February 3, 2006, Super Crazy and Psicosis bounced back by nearly defeating MNM for the WWE Tag Team Championship. They appeared to have the gold in the grasp, but their dreams of winning the titles went up in smoke when Melina hit Super Crazy with her boot as he went for a moonsault. MNM capitalized and retained.

Following Juventud's departure from WWE, Psicosis and Super Crazy slowly started to diminish as a tag team. Crazy would see success as a singles superstar, winning most of his major matches, including a triple threat number one contendership match for the Cruiserweight Championship against Nunzio and Kid Kash. Psicosis failed to appear on WWE television for several weeks. Following Super Crazy's loss to Gregory Helms for the title at Judgment Day, he and Psicosis reunited.

Seeds of a split seemed to appear in mid-2006 around the same time as the redevelopment of the *ECW* brand. During a tag team match on *Velocity*, the Mexicools faced the reigning WWE Tag Team Champions Paul London and Brian Kendrick. Although both teams respected each other during the match, Psicosis used the ropes to pick up an illegal pinfall to win the match. This led to Super Crazy questioning Psicosis' actions. Next, during a *SmackDown!* broadcast, Psicosis left Crazy to be attacked by The Great Khali after a match, saving his own skin and leaving his tag team partner to fend for himself. Psicosis would later abandon Crazy during a handicap match against Khali. On the June 23 edition of *SmackDown!*, Super Crazy and Psicosis got into a fist-fight after various miscommunications throughout the match, marking the split of the team. The two were still billed as members of the faction in the following weeks, even though they were interfering in each other's matches, until they had a match on an episode of *SmackDown!* which was won by Super Crazy. After the split, Super Crazy was moved to the *Raw* brand, while Psicosis stayed on *SmackDown!*. On November 1, 2006, Psicosis' WWE contract was officially terminated by WWE.
