Professional wrestling career
José García trained under Huichol, Tapatio III, Super Astro and El Texano before making his professional wrestling debut in 1990. He started out working under the ring name "Águila Negra" ("The Black Eagle"), an enmascarado character. His run as a masked wrestler ended on June 14, 1992 when he lost a Lucha de Apuesta, or bet match, to Magnum. In 1994 he worked a couple of tours for International Wrestling Association of Japan.

Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (1996–2005)
In 1996 Garcia signed on with Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) and adopted the name "Zumbido" along with a bee-striped black and orange mask and tights. He quickly lost the Zumbido mask in a Lucha de Apuesta against Love Machine II within months of signing with CMLL. A few months after his unmasking he participated in a 16-man tournament for the vacant CMLL World Light Heavyweight Championship, but was defeated in the first round by Ángel Azteca. Over the following years Zumbido worked in the lower half of the rankings, training at CMLL's wrestling school while gaining invaluable in-ring experience. In late 1998 Zumbido teamed up with Bestia Salvaje and Scorpio, Jr. to participate in a tournament for the vacant CMLL World Trios Championship. The team made it all the way to the finals but lost to Black Warrior, Blue Panther and Dr. Wagner, Jr. He made his first "major show" appearance when he teamed up with |El Satánico, Valentin Mayo, Virus, and Rencor Latino to defeat Starman, Astro Rey, Jr., El Oriental, Tigre Blanco and Mr. Águila on the undercard of CMLL's 1999 Ruleta de la Muerte Pay-Per-View event. In 1999 he also participated in his very first Leyenda de Plata tournament, CMLL's most prestigious annual tournament. While he did not win it was an indicator that CMLL had hopes of pushing him up the card.

In 2001 Shocker, Scorpio, Jr. and Bestia Salvaje formed a stable known as Los Guapos ("The Handsome Ones") and invited Zumbido to join the group, but he suffered an injury before he could actually team up with Los Guapos. Upon his return to the ring he teamed up with Violencia, Doctor X, losing to Safari, Olímpico and La Fiera on the undercard of the CMLL Apocalypsis PPV. In 2003 Los Guapos created Guapos U, a "Reality Show" inspired storyline where young hopefuls competed to earn a spot in the Los Guapos group. During the storyline Zumbido developed a rivalry with fellow Guapo U member Ricky Marvin, a rivalry that got Zumbido kicked out of the group for fighting. Zumbido and Rivera met in a Lucha de Apuesta match where both wrestlers put their hair on the line. The match ended in a draw and as a result both wrestlers had their hair shaved off after the match. Once the storyline with Ricky Marvin ended Zumbido began teaming with Super Crazy, forming a regular tag team. The two teamed up with Alan Stone to participate in a tournament for the vacant Mexican National Trios Championship but lost in the finals to El Felino, Safari and Volador Jr. In early 2004 Zumbido turned on his partner, attacking him after a match to signal his transition to being a Rudo (bad guy). The feud between the two saw Zumbido defeat Super Crazy in a Lucha de Apuesta on April 30, 2004, after which he shaved the hair off Super Crazy's head.

At Triplemanía XIV Guapos VIP lost to the team of El Ángel, El Intocable, Octagón and Vampiro, after which Shocker left AAA.

Over the summer of 2007 Alan Stone turned on Guapos VIP and formed his own group Los Bello Stones along with his brothers Chris Stone and Super Caló, forming a group with a similar "metrosexual" gimmick as Guapos VIP. Los Guapos brought in Decnnis to even the sides between the two groups. At Verano de Escandalo 2007 Guapos VIP defeated Los Bello Stones in one of the featured matches of the night. The highlight of the feud between Guapos VIP and Los Bello Stone came at the 2007 Guerra de Titanes where the two groups clashed in a Steel Cage Match under Lucha de Apuesta'' rules. Zumbido was the first man to escape the cage and was forced to watch as Scorpio, Jr. had to have his hair shaved off as a result of losing the match for Guapos VIP.
