In Mexico and Japan, he is best known for his decade-long stint in Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre under the ring name "Máscara Dorada". He made his debut in 2005, originally using the masked persona Plata II. He later used the ring name Metalik, holding the local Occidente Welterweight Championship, but abandoned the championship when he adopted the Máscara Dorada character. The "Máscara Dorada" character was the first instance of a regular-sized luchador being given a character based on a Mini-Estrella as he was introduced after CMLL introduced Mascarita Dorada in 2007. At one time, Dorada was a quadruple CMLL champion, holding the Mexican National Trios Championship, the CMLL World Trios Championship, the CMLL World Super Lightweight Championship, and the CMLL World Welterweight Championship at the same time. He has held the CMLL World Welterweight Championship four times. After a decade of working for CMLL in his native Mexico, Dorada worked full-time for the Japanese promotion New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) from January 2015 until returning to CMLL a year later in February 2016.

In the summer of 2016, he competed in the American promotion WWE's Cruiserweight Classic tournament. After the tournament, he signed with WWE and was assigned to their brand 205 Live, after which he began teaming with Kalisto and Lince Dorado as part of Lucha House Party. They were promoted to the Raw brand in November 2018, but was moved to the SmackDown brand in October 2019. He would depart WWE in November 2021 after requesting his release and subsequently returned to the independent circuit.

Early life

edit

He was born on November 3, 1988, in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico.[1][2] Since he has not been unmasked by losing a Lucha de Apuestas ("Bet match"), his given name is not a matter of public record. The secrecy around masked wrestlers is a large part of lucha libre (the professional wrestling style originary from Mexico) tradition, with newspapers not reporting masked wrestlers real names.[8]

Professional wrestling career

Early career (2005–2008)

edit

He made his professional wrestling debut on July 14, 2005,[1] after training with Gran Cochisse and El Satánico.[2] His initial ring persona was that of Plata II,[6] a copy of the original Plata that wrestled in the early to mid-1990s.[9] His run as Plata II was brief as he was repackaged as Metalik, a variation of the "metal-based" look that he had used as "Plata II".[5] As Metalik, he worked mainly for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre's (CMLL; Spanish for "World Wrestling Council") Guadalajara branch, getting experience while working on a local level. On April 13, 2008, the CMLL bookers had Metalik defeat El Depredador to become the Occidente Welterweight Champion.[10] About a month later, Metalik won his first-ever Luchas de Apuestas, winning the hair of Jeque.[10] Metalik was entered in the 2008 Torneo Gran Alternativa ("Great Alternative tournament"), where a newcomer teams up with a veteran, teaming up with Dos Caras Jr. to make it to the finals before losing to Último Guerrero and Dragón Rojo Jr.[11]

Máscara Dorada (2008–2016)

edit

In 2007, CMLL signed Mascarita Sagrada 2000, but were not allowed to call him that as a rival promotion owned the trademark to the name. Instead, CMLL chose to repackage the mini luchador as Mascarita Dorada. The gimmick and the wrestler proved so successful that, in the fall of 2008, CMLL announced that they were creating a "large" version of Mascarita Dorada. Traditionally, the minis were often patterned after existing luchadors,[12] but this time the mini was created before the "regular-sized" luchador.[13] On November 7, 2008, Metalik was repackaged and made his debut as Máscara Dorada ("Golden Mask"), helping his team defeat the trio of Averno, Mephisto and Ephesto.[13]

On April 7, 2009, Máscara Dorada outlasted nine other wrestlers in a torneo cibernetico to capture the vacant CMLL World Super Lightweight Championship.[14] Since he held a CMLL title, Dorada was entered into CMLL's inaugural "Universal Championship" tournament, but was eliminated in the first round by Black Warrior.[15] On September 18, he teamed with El Sagrado and El Hijo del Fantasma to defeat Dragón Rojo Jr., Misterioso Jr. and Sangre Azteca at the CMLL 76th Anniversary Show.[16] In December, Dorada paired with Metro and Stuka Jr. in an eight-team tournament for the vacant Mexican National Trios Championship, defeating Los Guerreros Tuareg (Arkangel de la Muerte, Loco Max and Skándalo) in the first round and Los Cancerberos del Infierno (Virus, Euforia and Pólvora) in the second round to qualify for the finals,[17] where they defeated Poder Mexica (Dragón Rojo Jr., Misterioso Jr. and Sangre Azteca) to become the new Mexican National Trios Champions, making Dorada a double champion.[18] From January 22 to February 5, 2010, he and Atlantis participated in the Torneo Nacional de Parejas Increibles ("National Amazing Pairs tournament"), where CMLL pairs a tecnico (Dorada) with a rudo (Atlantis); they defeated Dragón Rojo Jr. and La Sombra in the opening round, Mr. Niebla and Máximo in the second round, Místico and Averno in the semi-finals, and Negro Casas and La Máscara in the finals to win the tournament.[19][20] Dorada, Hijo del Fantasma and Valiente lost to El Terrible, Mephisto and Texano Jr. at Homenaje a Dos Leyendas ("Homage to Two Legends") on March 19.[21]

On May 14, Dorada, La Sombra and La Máscara defeated CMLL World Trios Champions La Ola Amarilla (Hiroshi Tanahashi, Okumura, and Taichi) in a non-title match for a title match the following week,[22] which they won, making Dorada a triple champion.[23] At Sin Salida ("No Escape") on June 6, Dorada, Místico and Mr. Águila defeated Averno, Casas and Volador Jr. by disqualification.[24] Dorada participated in the 2010 Universal Championship tournament on the July 30 edition of Super Viernes, defeating partner Stuka Jr. in the first round before losing to Último Guerrero in the second round.[25] At the CMLL 77th Anniversary Show on September 3, he, Blue Panther and La Máscara defeated Poder Mexica.[26] Four days later, Dorada defeated Negro Casas to win the CMLL World Welterweight Championship, making him a quadruple CMLL champion, the first-ever in the history of the promotion.[27] On November 18, Dorada announced that he was relinquishing his hold of the Mexican National Trios Championship, which Metro and Stuka Jr. would continue to hold with a new partner.[28] On February 25, 2011, Dorada and Atlantis won the Torneo Nacional de Parejas Increibles for the second year in a row, defeating Blue Panther and Dragón Rojo Jr. in the finals.[29] At Homenaje a Dos Leyendas on March 18, Dorada unsuccessfully challenged Averno for the NWA World Historic Middleweight Championship after interference from Mephisto.[30]

Dorada vacated the CMLL World Super Lightweight Championship on April 7 in order to move up to the middleweight division.[31] On July 15, Dorada, La Sombra and La Máscara (known as La Generación Dorada) lost the CMLL World Trios Championship to Los Hijos del Averno (Averno, Ephesto and Mephisto).[32] On November 11, 2012, Dorada lost the CMLL World Welterweight Championship to Pólvora.[33] At Sin Salida on June 3, 2013, Dorada defeated Negro Casas to win the NWA World Historic Welterweight Championship for the first time.[34] On June 16, Dorada and his new Los Estetas del Aire ("The Air Esthetics") stable, formed with Místico and Valiente, won the CMLL World Trios Championship.[35] At the CMLL 80th Anniversary Show on September 13, they successfully defended the titles against Dragón Rojo Jr., Pólvora and Rey Escorpión.[36] Dorada's reign as the NWA World Historic Welterweight Champion ended on November 19, losing the title to Volador Jr.[37] On March 28, 2014, Los Estetas del Aire also lost the CMLL World Trios Championship.[38] In January 2015, Dorada defeated Negro Casas in the finals of a tournament to win the CMLL World Welterweight Championship for the third time.[39] Later in the month, through CMLL's relationship with NJPW, Dorada signed a one-year contract with NJPW, leaving his Mexican home promotion.[40]

He returned to CMLL in February 2016.[41] At Homenaje a Dos Leyendas on March 18, Dorada, Dragon Lee, Místico and Valiente defeated Fujin, Kamaitaichi, Okumura and Raijin.[42] On May 3, Dorada's fourth reign as the CMLL World Welterweight Champion ended when Mephisto defeated him for the championship.[43] At the CMLL 83rd Anniversary Show on September 2, he teamed with Atlantis and Carístico to defeat La Peste Negra (Bárbaro Cavernario, El Felino and Negro Casas).[44] On November 11, Dorada wrestled his last match for CMLL at Arena México,[45] teaming with Atlantis and Diamante Azul to defeat Cavernario, Felino and Casas.[46]

Dorada won four out of his eight matches in the round-robin stage of the tournament, which included wins over Liger and CMLL World Welterweight Champion Taguchi, finishing sixth out of the nine wrestlers in his block.[56][57][58] On June 18, at Dominion 6.18, Dorada defeated Taguchi to regain the CMLL World Welterweight Championship.[59] Three days later, Dorada entered the J Sports Crown Openweight 6 Man Tag Tournament, teaming with IWGP Heavyweight Champion Hiroshi Tanahashi and KUSHIDA, defeating Brian Kendrick, Gedo and Jado in their first-round match.[60] The following day, the trio was eliminated from the tournament in the second round by Giant Bernard, Karl Anderson and Liger.[61] Dorada's tour of New Japan ended the following day, when he, Tanahashi, Hiroyoshi Tenzan, Tiger Mask and Wataru Inoue lost to Chaos (Dick Togo, Gedo, Jado, Masato Tanaka, and Yujiro Takahashi).[62]

WWE (2016–2021)

edit

Cruiserweight division (2016–2018)

edit

On June 13, 2016, WWE announced Dorada, under the ring name Gran Metalik, as a participant in the upcoming Cruiserweight Classic tournament.[91] In a subsequent interview, he revealed that he was only working the Cruiserweight Classic matches with WWE and was still full-time with CMLL beyond that; he credited Finn Bálor, who worked as Prince Devitt in NJPW, as being the reason he was invited to the tournament.[92] On June 23, Metalik defeated Alejandro Saez in the first round.[93] He defeated Tajiri in the second round on July 14.[94] The following day, it was reported that he had signed a full-time contract with WWE.[95] On August 26, Metalik defeated Akira Tozawa to advance to the semifinals.[96] On September 14, the last day of the tournament, Metalik defeated Zack Sabre Jr. to advance to the finals, where he lost to T.J.

Following the tournament, Metalik began working in the cruiserweight division, appearing on the Raw brand.[98] On the September 19 episode of Raw, in his first match on the main roster, Metalik lost to The Brian Kendrick in a fatal four-way match to determine the number one contender for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship at Clash of Champions, also involving Cedric Alexander and Rich Swann.[99] On the February 14, 2017 episode of 205 Live, Metalik made his debut on the brand, defeating Drew Gulak.[100] In September, Metalik competed in a number one contender's five-way elimination match for the Cruiserweight Championship, but was the second person eliminated from the match by Alexander.[101]

Lucha House Party (2018–2021)

edit

In early 2018, WWE decided to have the three masked luchadors of the 205 Live roster, Metalik, Kalisto, and Lince Dorado, band together and become a regular team, later dubbed the Lucha House Party.[102] As part of their gimmick, the luchadors started to carry brightly colored noisemakers and vuvuzela horns with them, using them to celebrate after a victory. They also carried a brightly colored Piñata donkey with them to the ring, which they referred to as "Penelope".[103] Their first match as a full trio took place on January 23, 2018, episode of 205 Live, as they defeated Ariya Daivari, TJP and Tony Nese.[104] At the Royal Rumble on January 28, Lucha House Party defeated TJP, Gulak and Gentleman Jack Gallagher.[105] Two days later, Metalik lost to Alexander in the opening round of a tournament for the vacant WWE Cruiserweight Championship.[106] On the November 12 episode of Raw, Lucha House Party competed against a number of non-Cruiserweight teams for the first time since WWE put them together, as they competed in a battle royal against Raw tag teams such as Bobby Roode and Chad Gable, The B-Team (Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel), Heath Slater and Rhyno, The Ascension (Konnor and Viktor) and The Revival (Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson).[107] At Survivor Series on November 18, Lucha House Party was part of Team Raw in a five on five team elimination match, which was won by Team SmackDown.[108]

In subsequent weeks, Lucha House Party was part of a storyline with The Revival, who claimed to be "tag team purists" and as such objected to Lucha House Party being allowed to compete as a tag team when there was three of them. In the following weeks, Lucha House Party defeated The Revival in various three-on-two, or three-on-one matches billed as "Lucha House Rules" matches.[109][110] On the February 4, 2019 episode of Raw, The Revival defeated Lucha House Party as part of a fatal four-way match to earn a future match for the WWE Raw Tag Team Championship.[111] At Money in the Bank on May 19, Lucha House Party appeared for an unadvertised match, only to be attacked by Lars Sullivan,[112] who defeated the trio via disqualification in a three-on-one handicap match on June 7 at Super ShowDown.[113] The following night on Raw, Lucha House Party was again defeated by Sullivan, this time in a three-on-one handicap elimination match.[114] At Crown Jewel on October 31, they participated in the World Cup Tag Team Turmoil match to determine "the best tag team in the world", but were the first team eliminated by Dolph Ziggler and Roode.[115]

On October 11, Lucha House Party was drafted to the SmackDown brand as part of the 2019 WWE Draft.[116] On November 24, at the Survivor Series kickoff show, they failed to win a tag team battle royal.[117] At Elimination Chamber on March 8, 2020, Lucha House Party were one of six teams in a tag team Elimination Chamber match for the SmackDown Tag Team Championship, but were eliminated by Heavy Machinery (Otis and Tucker).[118] Metalik and Dorado failed to win the titles from The New Day (Big E and Kofi Kingston) in a fatal four-way match also involving The Forgotten Sons (Steve Cutler and Wesley Blake) and The Miz and John Morrison on May 10 at Money in the Bank.[119] On the July 24 episode of SmackDown, Metalik won a fatal four-way match to become the number one contender to the Intercontinental Championship,[120] but failed to win the title from AJ Styles the following week.[121]

As part of the 2020 Draft in October, both Metalik and Dorado were drafted to the Raw brand, splitting them from Kalisto, who remained on the SmackDown brand.[122] On the December 30 episode of NXT, Metalik and Dorado made a surprise appearance, confronting NXT Cruiserweight Champion Santos Escobar before defeating Legado del Fantasma (Joaquin Wilde and Raul Mendoza).[123] On January 6, 2021, at NXT: New Year's Evil, Metalik unsuccessfully challenged Escobar for the title due to their interference.[124] Later that month, he and Dorado entered the 2021 Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic, defeating Imperium (Fabian Aichner and Marcel Barthel) in the first round,[125] but lost to Legado del Fantasma in the quarterfinals.[126] On September 22, it was reported that Metalik requested for his release from the company due to "lack of opportunities".[127] On November 4, Metalik was officially released from WWE.[128]

Independent circuit (2022–present)

edit

After being released from WWE, Game Changer Wrestling (GCW) announced that Máscara Dorada would make appearances for them throughout February 2022.[129] Dorada wrestled his first post-WWE match on February 4, competing in a four-way match against ASF, Blake Christian and Gringo Loco, which Christian won.[130]

Return to NJPW (2022–2023)

edit

On February 17, 2022, Metalik, as Mascara Dorada, made his return to NJPW after six years.[131] He wrestled his first match back on March 20 during a taping of Strong Style Evolved, defeating TJP.[132] At Lonestar Shootout on April 1, Dorada teamed with Clark Connors, Karl Fredericks and Yuya Uemura to defeat FinJuice (David Finlay and Juice Robinson), Daniel Garcia and Kevin Knight.[133] At The Night Before Rumble on 44th Street on October 27, he lost to Mike Bailey in a four-way match also involving Mantequilla and Smiley.[134] On January 18, 2023, Dorada made his final NJPW appearance at Battle in the Valley, teaming with Josh Alexander, Adrian Quest and Rocky Romero in a loss to Kushida, Knight, Volador Jr. and The DKC.[135]

edit

On September 14, 2022, Metalik, under the name Mascara Dorada, made his debut for All Elite Wrestling (AEW) on Dark: Elevation, defeating Serpentico.[136] He debuted for Ring of Honor (ROH) on December 10, where he was defeated by Jeff Cobb during the Final Battle pre-show.[137] On March 31, 2023, at Supercard of Honor, Metalik, AR Fox and Blake Christian unsuccessfully challenged The Embassy (Bishop Kaun, Brian Cage and Toa Liona) for the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championship.[138] On the April 13 episode of Ring of Honor Wrestling, Metalik failed to win the ROH World Championship from Claudio Castagnoli,[139] as well as the NJPW World Television Championship from Zack Sabre Jr. on the August 31 episode.[140] His last AEW/ROH appearance was on the July 4 episode, where he and Komander lost to Undisputed Kingdom (Matt Taven and Mike Bennett) in a ROH World Tag Team Championship Proving Ground match.[141]

Return to CMLL (2023)

edit

After seven years, CMLL announced on June 14, 2023, that Metalik would make his return to the company on July 14 at Atlantis' 40th Anniversary Show.[142] There, he teamed with Máscara Dorada 2.0 and Titán to defeat Bárbaro Cavernario, Templario and Virus.[143] On July 21, Metalik was eliminated in the semi-final torneo cibernetico of the Leyenda de Plata tournament.[144] Metalik would continue to appear for CMLL, but failed to reach a deal with the promotion and wrestled his final date on July 28, losing to Titán.[145]

Professional wrestling style

edit

Whether working as Metalik, Máscara Dorada, or Gran Metalik, he generally portrays a face, the professional wrestling term for the protagonists of the storylines.[2][7] He is known for performing a high-risk, high-flying version of lucha libre,[7] exemplified by his frequent use of dives out of the wrestling ring. One such dive is the Brillo Metalik, which is a somersault suicide senton, where he leaps through the top rope and flips onto an opponent on the floor.[96] During his time in Mexico, he used a variation of the dive known as the Brillo Dorada, where he would springboard off the second rope and jump over the top onto an opponent on the floor.[1] Despite his accustomed style, his finishing move is a Samoan driver, where he lifts an opponent up on his shoulders before slamming them down to the ground, referred to as the Metalik Driver in WWE,[94][96] and the Dorada Screwdriver previously.[146]

Other media

edit

As Gran Metalik, he made his video game debut as a playable character in WWE 2K18[147] and has since appeared in WWE SuperCard, WWE 2K19,[148] WWE 2K20,[149] WWE Universe, WWE 2K Battlegrounds, and WWE 2K22.

Personal life

edit

During a 2016 interview with Lucha World, he revealed that he was the father of two young girls.[3] His immediate family still resides in Guadalajara, Jalisco.
