10 WWE Stables You Totally Don't Remember
5. Los Boricuas
It’d be wrong to mention the Disciples of the Apocalypse without acknowledging Savio Vega's own ragtag bunch of rogues. Kicked-out of the Nation of Domination at the same time as Crush, Vega formed Los Boricuas with Miguel Perez, Jose Estrada Jr. and Jesus Castillo in June 1997. They came with some pedigree at least: Perez’s father was one half of WWE’s first recognised tag team champions, while Estrada’s father was a former WWF Junior Heavyweight Champion.
Sadly, Los Boriucas were another bust. Savio Vega and his gang of Puerto Ricans were WWE’s questionably racist Hispanic equivalent to the African-American Nation and the D.O.A’s Hells Angel stylings, and only Vega himself brought any real name value to the table. They worked regularly against the aforementioned stables but struggled to accomplish much together, and everyone but Savio Vega left the company in 1999.
The stable was later revived in Puerto Rico’s IWA in 2001, and they have since appeared together for a host of promotions across the island. Their 1997 feud with D.O.A won the Wrestling Observer Newsletter’s coveted “Worst Feud of the Year” award, and while “gang warfare” sounded like a decent concept, it failed miserably. The writers couldn’t make any of Los Boriucas feel relevant or important, and if you’ve more chance of meeting a unicorn in a McDonald’s than finding a WWE fan who can name all four members off the top of their head.
