extensively with Olímpico
and the build up pointed to a mask vs. mask match between the two. However, Bucanero teamed with Shocker
, another up and coming rudo (heel)
, in a "Ruleta de la Muerte" tournament where the losers advance and the final losing team has to fight amongst themselves in a mask vs. mask match. Shocker and Bucanero lost in the last round and Shocker took Bucanero's mask. At this time he also started teaming with Último Guerrero
and the duo were recruited by Satánico for his new stable, Los Nuevos Infernales. The team of Bucanero and Guerrero was pushed in 2000 with a tournament win for the vacant CMLL World Tag Team Championship
.
In 2001, Guerrero and Bucanero turned on Satánico by costing him a match with Tarzan Boy
and the trio of Guerrero, Bucanero, and Tarzan starting calling themselves "Los Infernales
". Satánico recruited Averno and Mephisto
, two undercarders with new gimmicks, for his own Infernales group and the two groups feuded over who could use the name. Injuries kept Bucanero and Tarzan out at times so Máscara Mágica
was brought in as an alternate member of the group. Bucanero's group lost a seven man cage match and they settled on the name Los Guerreros del Infierno
. They spent the rest of the year feuding with Negro Casas
and El Hijo del Santo
over the CMLL World Tag Team Championship. After a match with an inconclusive finish in October, Los Guerreros lost to Santo and Casas on November 2.

and Halloween of La Familia de Tijuana in July. Los Guerreros spent the rest of the year feuding with Vampiro Canadiense
and Shocker. Los Guerreros successfully defended their tag team titles against the duo but Bucanero lost his hair to Vampiro in a singles hair vs. hair match in December to close out the year. In 2003, they defended their titles successfully against Vampiro and Lizmark, Jr.
and Negro Casas and Perro Aguayo, Jr.
but were defeated in December by the team of Shocker and the newly arrived L.A. Park

and Blue Panther
on June 25. Bucanero and new Guerreros member Olímpico challenged Atlantis and Panther for the tag team titles on the first Arena México
show of 2005 but they lost and Olímpico injured his neck while attempting a dive. He teamed with Guerrero in a feud with newcomer Místico
and recently turned Dr. Wagner, Jr.
early in the year, losing a main event tag match on March 11. In September, Bucanero and Olímpico teamed up again to unsuccessfully challenge the visiting Hiroshi Tanahashi
and Shinsuke Nakamura
for the IWGP World Tag Team Championship
. After Atlantis turned heel and Los Guerreros became known as Los Guerreros del Atlántida, it was teased that Bucanero would break up with Guerrero but Bucanero stayed and Los Guerreros feuded with Perro Aguayo, Jr.'s Los Perros del Mal
faction into 2006. At the end of April, he teamed with Tarzan Boy to win a double hair vs. hair match against Mr. Águila
and Damián 666 in the main event of an Arena México show.
The following week, he teamed with Atlantis against Último Dragón and Keiji Mutoh
but his team lost after Atlantis hit him by accident. For the following weeks, Bucanero kept having trouble with his teammates and magazines hinted at a possible face turn. Later that month, Averno and Mephisto turned on him during an Arena México match. Shortly afterwards, Tarzan Boy and Guerrero turned on him as well, ripping his tights, signifying he was no longer a member of Los Guerreros. On July 14, he defeated Guerrero for his CMLL World Light Heavyweight Championship
, ending Guerrero's three and a half year title reign. Actually, he is teaming with Dos Caras, Jr. and Hijo de Lizmark
as a tecnico; he has a notorious feud with Kenzo Suzuki

members Negro Casas and El Felino

movie series and less like his fellow Guerreros de la Atlantida members. He was also given a mascot, a Mini-Estrella
wearing a parrot outfit that accompanied him to the ring. The parrot was later named Zacarias. In August, 2010 Rey Bucanero announced that he had left Los Guerreros and joined La Peste Negra because they were more interested in teaming with Olímpico
than him. On December 3 at Sin Piedad 2010 Bucanero defeated Los Invasores
leader Mr. Águila
in a Lucha de Apuesta to take his trademark hair. On January 29, 2011, Bucanero made an appearance for American promotion Pro Wrestling Guerrilla

documentary series titled El Luchador. When El Texano, Jr. left CMLL in late November, Bucanero and El Terrible chose Tiger
as the new third member of La Fuerza TRT.
