Máscara Dorada (born November 3, 1988) is a Mexican luchador enmascarado currently signed to WWE, under the ring name Gran Metalik, where he performs on the Raw brand. He is best known for his decade long stint in Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL). 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.[6] The wrestler currently known as Máscara Dorada made his debut in 2005 and has worked under other names, but achieved most success as Máscara Dorada. His ring name is Spanish for "Golden Mask".

At one time, Máscara 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 in total. After a decade of working for CMLL in his native Mexico, Dorada signed with the Japanese promotion New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) in January 2015. After a year with NJPW, Dorada returned to CMLL in February 2016.

He made his in-ring debut in 2005, originally using the masked persona Plata II and later on would use the ring name "Metallik" where he held the local Occidente Welterweight Championship, but abandoned it when he was given the Máscara Dorada character. The "Máscara Dorada" was the first instance of a regular luchador being given a character based on a Mini-Estrella as he was introduced after CMLL introduced Mascarita Dorada in 2007.

Professional wrestling career

Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (2005–2016)

The luchador who would later be known as Máscara Dorada made his debut on July 14, 2005,[1] 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.[7] About a month later Metalik won his first ever Luchas de Apuestas match, winning the hair of Jeque.[7] 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.[8]

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.[9] 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.[10] On the night Máscara Dorada won a Tornero Cibernetico outlasting nine other wrestlers to become the CMLL Super Lightweight Champion[11]

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.[12] 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 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.[13] 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.[14] 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.[15]

On January 22, 2010 Máscara Dorada teamed up with Atlantis to participate in CMLL's Torneo Nacional de Parejas Increibles ("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.[16] On February 5, 2010 Dorada and Atlantis defeated Negro Casas and La Máscara in the finals to win the tournament.[17]

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.[18] One week later the trio defeated Ola Amarilla again, ending the Japanese trios title reign after just two weeks.[19] 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.[20] 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][21] 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.[22]
