**Armando Mercado García** (born August 27, 1981) is a Mexican [professional wrestler](/source/Professional_wrestler), who works under the [ring name](/source/Ring_name) **Guapito** ("The Little Handsome One"). Until 2021 he worked for the Mexican [Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre](/source/Consejo_Mundial_de_Lucha_Libre) (CMLL) [promotion](/source/Wrestling_promotion) where he portrayed a [face](/source/Face_(professional_wrestling)) (known as a *técnico* in Mexico, the protagonists of professional wrestling). He was one of the original competitors in CMLL's *Micro-Estrella* ("Micro-Star") division where he competed with and against other wrestlers with [dwarfism](/source/Dwarfism).

He began his career in 2006 working as the masked *mascota* companion **Madrox**, sometimes spelled **Mandrox**, working for [AAA](/source/Lucha_Libre_AAA_Worldwide) as part of their "Los Alienígenas" group. In 2007 he began working as Guapito ("The Little Handsome One"), playing a vain, self-obsessed "Guapo" character as he worked as a *mascota* for [Shocker](/source/Shocker_(wrestler)) and [Scorpio Jr.](/source/Scorpio_Jr.) who portrayed similar characters. In 2017 Guapito made his debut in CMLL's *Micro-Estrella* division.

## Professional wrestling career

### AAA (2006–2009)

García's first job in professional wrestling involved him playing the role of "Mandrox" (sometimes spelled "Madrox"), a masked *mascota*, a diminutive version of a regular-sized wrestler, for an [AAA](/source/Lucha_Libre_AAA_Worldwide) group known as "Los Alienígenas".[1] The group consisted of [Alliens](/source/Murder_Clown), [Mungo](/source/MS-1_(wrestler)), and Kriptor along with Mandrox, all of whom wore alien inspired masks and bodysuits, essentially pretending to be extraterrestrial wrestlers, communicating mainly with clicking sounds. The group worked primarily with [El Alebrije](/source/El_Alebrije_(wrestler)) and his diminutive *mascota* [Cuije](/source/Cuije).[2]

In 2007, AAA began teasing that the *Los Guapos VIP* group would introduce a new leader to replace [Shocker](/source/Shocker_(wrestler)), who had left AAA. García was introduced by AAA under the [ring name](/source/Ring_name) "Guapito", complete with bleach blonde hair, and expensive-looking suits as the leader/*mascota* of Los Guapos VIP.[3][4] Guapito and [Scorpio Jr.](/source/Scorpio_Jr.) unsuccessfully challenged [Cuije](/source/Cuije) and [El Alebrije](/source/El_Alebrije_(wrestler)) for the [AAA Mascot Tag Team Championship](/source/AAA_Mascot_Tag_Team_Championship) on December 2, 2007.[5] In 2008 most of Los Guapos VIP (Scorpio Jr., [Zumbido](/source/Zumbido), and Guapito) left AAA to work on the [independent circuit](/source/Independent_circuit),[6] but Guapito returned to AAA shortly after without any explanation.[7] At the 2008 *[Guerra de Titanes](/source/Guerra_de_Titanes_(2008))* show, Guapito accompanied [El Brazo](/source/El_Brazo) for a six-man [steel cage match](/source/Steel_cage_match), where the last person in the cage would get his hair shaved off. The match came down to El Brazo and [El Elegido](/source/El_Elegido) when Guapito entered the cage to help out. As Elegido climbed out, El Brazo attacked Guapito, hoping to leave the diminutive Guapito in the cage to get his hair shaved off. Instead Guapito was able to climb out, forcing El Brazo to be shaved bald.[8][9]

### Independent circuit (2009–2017)

On September 14, 2013, as part of [International Wrestling League](/source/International_Wrestling_League)'s third anniversary show Guapito, [El Gallito](/source/El_Gallito) and Feliz lost to [Chamuel](/source/Chamuel_(wrestler)).[10] At the Federación Universal de Lucha Libre *Guerra de Leyendas* show the team of El Divo, El Hijo de Máscara Sagrada, [Lady Apache](/source/Lady_Apache), and [Mascarita Sagrada](/source/Mascarita_Sagrada) defeated Guapito, Hator, Rossy Moreno, and Scorpio Jr.[11]

### Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (2017–2021)

In early 2017 CMLL hired Guapito to help establish a *Micro-Estrellas* ("Micro-Stars") division, featuring only wrestlers with dwarfism. The first match of the *Micro-Estrellas* division took place on April 30, 2017, and saw El Gallito and [Microman](/source/Microman_(wrestler)) defeat Mije and [Zacarías el Perico](/source/Zacar%C3%ADas_el_Perico) in a special featured match, with Guapito refereeing the match.[12][13] By October 2017, Guapito transitioned from being the *Micro-Estrella* referee to being a competitor, making his debut in the division on October 17.[14] For the first anniversary of the Micro-Estrellas division, CMLL held an eight-micros *[torneo cibernético](/source/Torneo_cibern%C3%A9tico)* elimination match, featuring the entire active Micro-Estrella division at the time.[15] Guapito, Microman, Átomo, and Zacarías took on Mije, Angelito, Chamuel, and El Gallito, which saw Microman pin Chamuel to win the tournament while Guapito was the fifth man eliminated from the match.[16] The *Micro-Estrellas* appeared at CMLL's *[Leyendas Mexicanas](/source/CMLL_Leyendas_Mexicanas_(2018))* ("Mexican Legends") [supercard](/source/Supercard) show where Guapito, Microman, and El Gallito defeated Mije, Chamuel and Zacarías in the second match of the night.[17][18] At the 2019 *[Homenaje a Dos Leyendas](/source/Homenaje_a_Dos_Leyendas_(2019))* ("Homage to two legends") show, Guapito and his team once again won.[19]

Guapito, Zaracias, and Chamuel teamed up once again for the [Arena Coliseo](/source/Arena_Coliseo) 76th Anniversary show, but once against lost to the trio of Átomo, Gallito, and Microman.[20] With the popularity of the Micro-Estrellas division, CMLL introduced the [CMLL World Micro-Estrellas Championship](/source/CMLL_World_Micro-Estrellas_Championship) in December 2019.[21] Guapito and five other Micro-Estrellas (Chamuel, Átomo, Gallito, Microman, and Zacarías) were involved in the elimination match to determine the first champion on December 25. Guapito was the second man eliminated, as he was pinned by El Gallito. In the end, Chamuel defeated Microman to win the championship.[22][23]

Guapito wrestled his last match for CMLL in November 2021, and solidifed his free agency in February 2021 by appearing on an independent card that featured AAA *luchadors* (a practice disallowed under CMLL's policies).[24] He has since had occasional AAA appearances.
