Lince Dorado

3.1.1. Chikara (2007-2011)

Lince Dorado made his debut in Chikara on February 17, 2007, as part of the promotion's inaugural King of Trios tournament. Teaming with his trainer El Pantera and Sicodelico, Jr., the trio made a strong impression, advancing to the semi-finals before being defeated by Mike Quackenbush, Shane Storm, and Jigsaw. Following the tournament, Dorado relocated to New Jersey to compete regularly for Chikara and other local promotions. His high-flying prowess quickly earned him fan support, leading to his entry into the first-ever Rey de Voladores tournament, which showcased top high-flyers from the independent circuit. Despite an upset victory over Jigsaw, Dorado lost in the finals to Chuck Taylor.

At the Anniversario weekend, Dorado commenced his first significant feud in Chikara against "Marvelous" Mitch Ryder, ignited by Ryder's "patriotic" disdain for what he claimed were "illegal immigrant Mexicans," including Dorado. During this rivalry, Dorado achieved a major upset by defeating Chris Hero via submission using the Chikara Special. The feud culminated on November 18, 2007, in a hair vs. mask match at Chapter 11, where Dorado was victorious. However, the match gained notoriety when Dorado suffered a seizure and severe concussion after an over-rotated shooting star senton resulted in his head hitting the mat during the finish. Post-match, Dorado experienced a seizure and was attended to by Mike Quackenbush and Daizee Haze, leading to him being unmasked (with a towel concealing his identity) and transported to a hospital by ambulance. He was released in December and returned to Chikara later that month, distracting Ryder during his match with Tim Donst, allowing Donst to secure an upset victory.

Dorado returned to the ring in January 2008, employing a more grounded wrestling style. He teamed with Claudio Castagnoli and Ophidian in a Trios Increibles match, defeating Mike Quackenbush, Tim Donst, and Amasis. He then participated in the 2008 King of Trios tournament, reuniting with El Pantera and aligning with Incognito to form Los Luchadores de Mexico. This team went on to win the tournament, defeating The BLKOUT (Eddie Kingston, Ruckus, and Joker) in the finals, with Dorado making Kingston submit via the Chikara Special. This victory led to a prolonged feud with Eddie Kingston, who repeatedly targeted Dorado but failed to keep him down, driving Kingston to extreme frustration. Alongside this rivalry, Dorado joined former adversary Jimmy Olsen (who also competed as the second Equinox) and Helios to form The Future is Now, feuding with The UnStable (Vin Gerard, Stigma, and Colin Delaney). In late 2008, Olsen (as Equinox) and Dorado won the inaugural La Lotería Letal, earning them the three points required to challenge for the Chikara Campeonatos de Parejas. They challenged champions The Osirian Portal on November 16, 2008, at "Armdrags to Riches" in a two out of three falls match. Although Dorado secured the first pinfall, the Portal ultimately retained the title. On November 22, 2009, at the season eight finale Three-Fisted Tales, Dorado challenged Player Dos for the Chikara Young Lions Cup, but was defeated after Dos hit a German suplex on the ring steps. After the match, Dorado was carried backstage by Equinox and Helios, in a scene that mirrored his previous injury.

On January 31, 2010, at the season nine premiere, Dorado was scheduled to be part of Mike Quackenbush's team against the rudo stable Bruderschaft des Kreuzes (BDK). However, during the eight-man tag team match, Dorado betrayed Equinox and joined BDK, allowing Claudio Castagnoli to pin Dorado's replacement, Eddie Kingston, securing the win for BDK. Dorado later explained his turn by claiming the Chikara audience had never fully accepted him despite his superior athleticism and two serious injuries sustained in the Chikara ring. On March 20, at Wit, Verve, and a Bit o' Nerve, Dorado, now sporting new white and BDK-themed attire, defeated his former tag team partner Equinox in a singles match. On August 28, 2010, Dorado won a singles match against Gregory Iron, then proceeded to defeat Adam Cole, Cameron Skyy, Keita Yano, Obariyon, and Ophidian in a six-way elimination match to reach the finals of the eighth annual Young Lions Cup tournament. The following day, Dorado was defeated in the finals by Frightmare. In October 2010, Dorado embarked on his first tour of Japan with Osaka Pro Wrestling. Dorado was advertised for Chikara shows on March 12 and 13, 2011, but did not appear. Subsequently, his profile was removed from Chikara's website, confirming his departure from the promotion.

3.1.2. Other Independent Promotions (2007-2016)

Concurrently with his Chikara tenure, Lince Dorado actively competed for various other independent promotions. In May 2008, he won the Independent Wrestling Revolution Revolucha Cup by defeating Josh Abercrombie in a two out of three falls final. Dorado debuted for Dragon Gate USA at Open the Heroic Gate in a dark match, where he emerged victorious over seven other wrestlers. On October 9, 2009, Dorado secured the Sweet Sixteen Tournament at F1RST Wrestling, triumphing over three other competitors in the final. A month later, he participated in the Open the Freedom Gate Championship tournament, losing to Gran Akuma in the first round.

Dorado began 2010 with a loss to Rich Swann in a match for the vacant Real Championship Wrestling Cruiserweight Championship. On March 26, he captured the Garden State Pro Wrestling Championship by winning a tournament for the vacant title. In May, Dorado lost to Shiima Xion in the first round of the Super Indy IX for International Wrestling Cartel. Two months later, he again lost to Xion, this time for the IWC Super Indy Championship. Dorado later won the F1 Heritage Championship after winning a war games match, a title he subsequently vacated after an 84-day reign. In December, Dorado debuted for Full Impact Pro, losing to Craig Classic in the first round of the Jeff Peterson Memorial Cup.

After his departure from Chikara, Dorado primarily wrestled for Vintage Wrestling, I Believe in Wrestling, Florida Underground Wrestling, and IGNITE Wrestling, with continued sporadic appearances for Dragon Gate USA and its affiliates. Lince Dorado also began working for Dreamwave Wrestling in 2013. On March 14, 2014, Dorado defeated Gran Akuma at Full Impact Pro's Everything Burns event, securing the FIP Florida Heritage Championship.

Dorado also had tryout matches with Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA). On October 4, 2012, he wrestled a tryout dark match against Kazarian. On January 12, 2013, Dorado participated in the taping of X-Travaganza (aired on April 5, 2013), competing in a seven-man Xscape match won by Christian York.

3.2.1. Cruiserweight Division (2016-2018)

On April 3, 2016, Lince Dorado was announced as a participant in WWE's inaugural Cruiserweight Classic tournament. The tournament commenced on June 23, where Dorado successfully defeated Mustafa Ali in his first-round match. However, on July 14, he was eliminated from the tournament by Rich Swann in the second round. On July 22, reports confirmed that Dorado had signed a contract with WWE, marking his official entry into the company.

On September 16, Dorado was announced as a member of the Raw brand's newly formed cruiserweight division. He made his in-ring debut for WWE on the September 21 episode of Main Event, where he lost to Rich Swann. On the September 26 episode of Raw, Dorado made his Raw debut, teaming with Drew Gulak in a losing effort against Cedric Alexander and Rich Swann. On October 30, at Hell in a Cell, Dorado formed a trio with Cedric Alexander and Sin Cara, defeating Ariya Daivari, Drew Gulak, and Tony Nese. On December 13, Dorado made his 205 Live debut, wrestling Mustafa Ali to a double countout. On the June 26, 2017, episode of Raw, Dorado unsuccessfully challenged Cruiserweight Champion Neville. The following week, on the July 4 episode of 205 Live, Dorado once again lost to Neville.

3.2.2. Lucha House Party (2018-2021)

In early 2018, Cordero proposed the concept of Lucha House Party, a stable of luchadores based on traditional Mexican stereotypes. WWE approved the idea, bringing together Dorado, Kalisto, and Gran Metalik to form the trio. As part of their gimmick, the luchadors began carrying brightly colored noise makers and vuvuzela horns, which they used to celebrate victories. They also introduced a brightly colored Piñata donkey, affectionately named "Penelope," which they brought to the ring. Their first official match as a full trio took place on the January 23, 2018, episode of 205 Live, where they defeated Ariya Daivari, TJP, and Tony Nese. At the Royal Rumble pay-per-view, Lucha House Party was victorious over TJP, Drew Gulak, and Gentleman Jack Gallagher. The following week, WWE held a tournament for the vacant WWE Cruiserweight Championship, where Dorado was eliminated in the opening round by his stablemate, Kalisto.

On the November 12 episode of Raw, Lucha House Party competed against a number of non-Cruiserweight teams for the first time since their formation, participating in a battle royal against various Raw tag teams including 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). At Survivor Series, Lucha House Party was part of Team Raw in a five-on-five team elimination match, which was ultimately won by Team SmackDown.

In the subsequent weeks, Lucha House Party entered a storyline with The Revival, who, as "tag team purists," objected to Lucha House Party competing as a tag team despite having three members. As part of this storyline, Lucha House Party repeatedly defeated The Revival in various three-on-two or three-on-one "Lucha House Rules" matches. On the February 4, 2019, episode of Raw, The Revival finally defeated Lucha House Party in a fatal four-way match to earn a future shot at the WWE Raw Tag Team Championship. In June, Lucha House Party began a feud with Lars Sullivan, resulting in the trio losing to Sullivan via disqualification in a three-on-one handicap match at Super ShowDown. The following night on Raw, Lucha House Party was again defeated by Sullivan, this time in a three-on-one handicap elimination match. On October 11, Lucha House Party was drafted to the SmackDown brand as part of the 2019 WWE Draft.

As part of the 2020 Draft in October, both Dorado and Metalik were drafted to the Raw brand, effectively splitting them from Kalisto, who remained on the SmackDown brand. In 2021, Dorado and Metalik appeared on NXT to compete in the 2021 Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic. They eliminated Imperium in the first round but were subsequently eliminated by Legado del Fantasma in the second round. On November 4, 2021, Dorado, along with Metalik, were released from their WWE contracts.

3.3.1. Major League Wrestling (2022)

On May 5, 2022, Lince Dorado made his debut for Major League Wrestling (MLW), where he lost to Real1. Later that year, on October 30, at the Fightland event, Dorado achieved a significant victory by defeating Shun Skywalker to capture the MLW World Middleweight Championship.

3.3.2. New Japan Pro-Wrestling and Impact Wrestling (2022-2023)

Cordero made his debut with New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) on NJPW Strong, reuniting with his former stablemate Gran Metalik. In 2023, Dorado also made appearances in Impact Wrestling. On March 20, 2023, he was revealed as Trey Miguel's challenger for the X-Division Championship at Sacrifice. However, Dorado was unsuccessful in winning the title at the event.
