Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (2010–2013)
Marx prominently made his name in the Canadian-based wrestling promotion International Wrestling Syndicate (IWS). In 2010, members of the IWS started making regular appearances in the United States, which helped him get noticed by the popular independent company Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (PWG). Since then, Marx has been a PWG regular. He has held the PWG World Tag Team Championship five times with four different partners: with Human Tornado as 2 Skinny Black Guys, Quicksilver as Cape Fear, Kevin Steen, and Paul London as ¡Peligro Abejas!.

Marx is also the only participant to consecutively appear in the first eight BOLA tournaments from 2005.

On February 24, 2011, Alvarado defeated former partner Tornado to win the PWG World Championship during his title run with Cape Fear. Later that year, while Marx was still World Champion, he and Steen defeated PAC and Roderick Strong for the belts, making Marx the only man in PWG history to hold both the World and World Tag Team Titles not once, but twice at the same time.

In mid-2011, Marx entered a lengthy feud with the tag team Men of Low Moral Fiber, consisting of Kenny Omega and Chuck Taylor, recruiting Colt Cabana, referee Rick Knox, and former partner Human Tornado (effectively reuniting 2 Skinny Black Guys) to stand by his side.

At PWG's 6th anniversary event, Threemendous II, 2 Skinny Black Guys defeated current champions The Young Bucks in a non-title match, giving the Bucks their first tag team loss in almost a year and a half.

On May 9, 2012, Marx teamed up with "Intrepid Traveler" Paul London to form a duo introduced as ¡Peligro Abejas! (literal translation: Danger Bees!) in the fourth annual DDT4 eight-team tag tournament.
