CMLL<\/strong> is not only the longest wrestling promotion in the world, it is also one of the most important seedlings of luchadores in M\u00e9xico. For every luchador in the country, CMLL is the place to be. Not only because of its renowned credentials, but its training style. CMLL scrubs and polishes every luchador that come to their rows and show them off in big performances on their weekly shows. Also, it\u00b4s very well known that several luchadores have been traveling in different promotions all along the world and are getting contracts in big promotions like WWE.<\/p>\n

So, what is going on with CMLL? Maybe you want to get introduced to this awesome promotion, its style; perhaps you want to come to M\u00e9xico City and want to show up on Arena Coliseo or Arena M\u00e9xico (Arena Coliseo in Guadalajara and Arena Puebla in Puebla City also present CMLL shows). Then you need to know which luchadores are the hottest and most representative (and even the hidden gems of the promotion). For that, this little guide may be useful for you and find a dozen luchadores you don’t want to miss.<\/p>\n

12 CMLL Luchadores You Should Be Watching (Part 1)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u00a0\"Resultado\u00c1ngel de Oro<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The 24 carat luchador, \u00c1ngel de Oro<\/strong> is one of the most impressive individuals right now on the CMLL roster, without a doubt. The deal with \u00c1ngel is that among the several luchadores t\u00e9cnicos in the card, he shows big personality and this is the key with him. His fast moves, combined with technical audacity,\u00a0keep\u00a0the crowd in a constant \u201cwooah!\u201d rumble when he is all over the mat. He allows himself to be a little cocky and at the same time a good sport, showing strength and boldness against his rivals. Even better, the second generation luchador has only been wrestling three years in tag teams since his debut on CMLL (contrary to many luchadores who can spend up to six years before being singles competitors), and capturing two championships and four tournaments in his singles run. The most recent was the Reyes del Aire Tournament<\/strong> on april. He has travelled around the world, marking some of his best matches against the likes of Jushin Thunder Liger<\/strong>, Naito<\/strong>, PAC<\/strong> (WWE\u00b4s Neville<\/strong>) and Prince Devitt<\/strong> (WWE\u00b4s Finn Balor<\/strong>). \u00c1ngel\u00a0is 29 years old and one can only imagine how far he can go, because he has made a name by himself on CMLL based on hard work and a natural call for lucha libre.<\/p>\n

\"Resultado<\/p>\n

Volador Jr.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Volador Jr. is one of the most popular and recognizable luchadores in the fandom. He is very well known in Japan and recently, pretty aclaimed in Ring of Honor<\/strong> alongside with fellow luchador Dragon Lee<\/strong>. Volador is 36 years old but already has a 21 year career in professional lucha libre. He is the son of Volador,<\/strong> who was the poster boy for high flyers in the early 90s. Watching this guy in the ring is like magic: you never know what he can possibly do until he does it. He easily portraits a t\u00e9cnico or a rudo with just one gesture, a great ability that\u00a0he shares with the great veteran Negro Casas<\/strong>, so is no surprise that a big part of the match relies on his shoulders. Also, Volador has a big arsenal of moves that go from the aerial to the most vicious of attacks. He\u00a0is\u00a0one hell of a shooter, although we can enjoy that phase of his rarely nowadays. Also has held several titles and we can say every defense was pure toughness and creativity, being some of his best matches against M\u00e1scara Dorada<\/strong> (WWE\u00b4s Gran Metalik<\/strong>) and legend Atlantis<\/strong>. He lost his mask against old time best friend and rival La Sombra<\/strong> (WWE\u00b4s Andrade Cien Almas<\/strong>) and that went to his benefit since he unleashed all his potential. Volador\u00a0is dedicated to his craft and nobody can say he gives a bad or lazy match. He is one big star in CMLL and is easily found on any main event since he is continuously billed.<\/p>\n
