Máscara Dorada (born August 27, 1988) is a Mexican Luchador Enmascarado (Spanish for "Masked professional wrestler"). Máscara Dorada's real name has not been officially documented, a tradition in Mexican Lucha Libre where masked wrestler's real names often are not a matter of public record. The wrestler currently known as Máscara Dorada made his debut in 2007 and has worked under other names, but achieved most success as Máscara Dorada. His name is Spanish for Golden Mask, referring to his wrestling mask. Máscara Dorada is currently the CMLL World Welterweight Champion. Máscara Dorada's real name is not a matter of public record, as is often the case with masked wrestlers in Mexico where their private lives are kept a secret from the wrestling fans.[2]

Professional wrestling career

The luchador who would later be known as Máscara Dorada made his debut either in late 2006 or early 2007 after training with Gran Cochisse and El Satánico. His initial ring persona was that of Plata II, a copy of the original Plata that wrestled in the early to mid 1990s. His run at Plata II was short lived as he was quickly repackage as Metalik, a variation of the "Metal based" look that he also used as "Plata II". As Metalik he worked mainly for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre's (CMLL) Guadalajara branch, getting experience while working on a local level. On April 13, 2008 Metalik defeated wrestler Depredador for the Occidente Welterweight Championship, the local Welterweight title.[3] About a month later Metalik won his first ever Luchas de Apuestas match, winning the hair of Jeque.[4] The title win and hair win indicated that CMLL had plans for Metalik's future. Metalik was entered in the 2008 Torneo Gran Alternativa, where a newcomer teams up with a veteran, Metalik teamed up with Dos Caras, Jr. and made it all the way to the finals before losing to Último Guerrero and Dragón Rojo, Jr.[5]

Máscara Dorada (2008–present)

In 2007 CMLL signed Mascarita Sagrada 2000, but were not allowed to call him that as a rival promotion owned the copyright 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, but this time the mini was created before the "Regular". On November 7, 2008 Metalik was repackaged and made his debut as Máscara Dorada, helping his team defeat the trio of Averno, Mephisto and Ephesto.[6] Máscara Dorada kept working mid-card tag team matches throughout the spring of 2008 with general success. On April 4, 2009 CMLL announced that they had stripped Rocky Romero of the CMLL World Super Lightweight Championship and announced that a tournament to crown the new champion would take place on April 7, 2009, one of the announced participants was Máscara Dorada.[7] On the night Máscara Dorada won a Tornero Cibernetico outlasting nine other wrestlers to become the CMLL Super Lightweight Champion[8] Since he held a CMLL title Dorada was entered into CMLL's inargual "Universal Championship" tournament, but was eliminated in the first round by Black Warrior.[9] On December 19, 2009 it was announced by the Comisión de Box y Lucha Libre Mexico D.F. that Poder Mexica had been stripped of the Mexican National Trios Championship title because Black Warrior had left CMLL, breaking up the team. At the same time they announced an eight team tournament to crown a new trios champion. The top half of the bracket took place on December 22, 2009 and the bottom half of the bracket took place on December 29. In the top bracket Máscara Dorada teamed with Stuka, Jr. and Metro for the first time ever and defeated defeated Guerreros Tuareg (Arkangel de la Muerte, Loco Max and Skándalo) in the first round and Los Los Cancerberos del Infierno (Virus, Euforia and Pólvora) in the second round to qualify for the finals.[10] The bottom bracket took place on December 29, 2009 and saw the team of Poder Mexica (Sangre Azteca, Dragón Rojo, Jr. and Misterioso, Jr.) qualify for the final.[11] On January 6, 2010 Máscara Dorada, Stuka, Jr. and Metro defeated Poder Mexica to become the new Mexican National Trios Champions, making Máscara Dorada a double champion.[12]

On January 22, 2010 Máscara Dorada teamed up with Atlantis to participate in CMLL's "Torneo Nacional de Pareja Increíbles" ("National Amazing Pairs tournament"), a tournament where CMLL teams up a Tecnico (Dorada) and a Rudo (Atlantis) for a tournament. The two defeated Dragón Rojo, and La Sombra in the opening round, Mr. Niebla and Máximo in the second round and Místico and Averno in the semi-final to earn a spot in the final of the tournament. During the tournament Atlantis wore his old Tecnico white mask, acting and wrestling a tecnico style.[13] On February 5, 2010 Dorada and Atlantis defeated Negro Casas and La Máscara in the finals to win the tournament.[14] On May 14, 2010 Máscara Dorada teamed up with La Sombra and La Máscara to defeat the then CMLL World Trios Champions La Ola Amarilla (Hiroshi Tanahashi, Okumura and Taichi) in a non-title match to earn a shot at the titles the following week.[15] One week later the trio defeated Ola Amarilla again, ending the Japanese trios title reign after just two weeks.[16] By virtue of holding three CMLL championships Máscara Dorada participated in the 2010 Universal Championship tournament. Stuka, Jr. was part of "Block A" that competed on the July 30, 2010 Super Viernes show. He was the first wrestler eliminated in the seeding battle royal and then defeated his Mexican National Trios Championship partner Stuka, Jr. in the first round of the actual tournament. Máscara Dorada was eliminated in the second round, losing to Último Guerrero.[17] On September 7, 2010 Máscara 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.[Note 1][18] On November 18, 2010, Dorada announced that he was relinquishing his hold of the Mexican National Trios Championship, which Metro and Stuka, Jr. will continue to hold with a new partner.[19] On January 22, 2011, Dorada lost the CMLL World Welterweight Championship to Ryusuke Taguchi at Fantasticamania 2011, a CMLL and New Japan Pro Wrestling co–promoted event in Tokyo, Japan.[20] On February 25, 2011, Máscara Dorada and Atlantis defeated Blue Panther and Dragón Rojo, Jr. in the finals to win the Torneo Nacional de Pareja Increíbles for the second year in a row.[21] On April 7 Dorada vacated the CMLL World Super Lightweight Championship, stating that he was moving up to the middleweight division.[22] After Dorada returned from Japan with the CMLL World Welterweight Championship, La Generación Dorada lost the CMLL World Trios Championship to Los Hijos del Averno (Averno, Ephesto and Mephisto) on July 15, 2011.[23]

After winning two out of their four matches in the group stage, Sombra and Dorada finished third in their block, missing the finals of the tournament.[26] Dorada and Sombra returned to New Japan on January 4, 2011, at Wrestle Kingdom V in Tokyo Dome, where they defeated Jushin Liger and Héctor Garza in a tag team match.[27][28] Dorada returned to New Japan on April 16, teaming with Tama Tonga to defeat Liger and King Fale in a tag team match.[29] Dorada worked a majority of the tour as a rudo, teaming with members of the Chaos stable.[30] On May 3 Dorada unsuccessfully challenged Liger for the CMLL World Middleweight Championship.[31] Dorada's extended tour of New Japan also included participation in the 2011 Best of the Super Juniors tournament in late May-early June. Dorada managed to win four out of his eight matches in the round robin stage of the tournament, which included wins over Liger and CMLL World Welterweight Champion Ryusuke Taguchi, and finished sixth out of the nine wrestlers in his block.[32][33][34] On June 18 at New Japan's Dominion 6.18 show, Dorada defeated Taguchi to regain the CMLL World Welterweight Championship.[35] Three days later Dorada entered the J Sports Crown 6 Man Openweight Tag Team Tournament, teaming with IWGP Heavyweight Champion Hiroshi Tanahashi and KUSHIDA, with the team defeating Brian Kendrick, Gedo and Jado in their first round match.[36] The following day the trio was eliminated from the tournament in the second round by Giant Bernard, Jushin Liger and Karl Anderson.[37] Dorada's tour of New Japan ended the following day, when he, Tanahashi, Hiroyoshi Tenzan, Tiger Mask IV and Wataru Inoue were defeated in a ten man tag team match by Chaos (Dick Togo, Gedo, Jado, Masato Tanaka and Yujiro Takahashi).[38]
