Brother of <strong>Rush<\/strong> and the original Dragon Lee (now known as <strong>M\u00edstico la Nueva Era<\/strong>), nephew of CMLL&#8217;s head trainer <strong>Franco Colombo<\/strong> and son of the current <strong>Pierroth<\/strong>, this young luchador has a lot to offer and since the lucha libre life is in his veins, opportunities are growing and he has a real chance of becoming a legendary luchador in M\u00e9xico. Despite having debuted three years ago, his achievements are almost overwhelming: he is the current CMLL World Lightweight champion, unmasked big rival <strong>La M\u00e1scara<\/strong> and is a regular participant in ROH and NJPW, where he helds a tough rivalry with <strong>Hiromu Takahashi<\/strong> since his debut in M\u00e9xico under the name <strong>Kamaitachi<\/strong>. In a personal view, I can see Dragon Lee turned into a big lucha legend, it&#8217;s just a matter of time.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=2E7bA1ZNXCI<\/p>\n<h2><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/p2.trrsf.com\/image\/fget\/cf\/460\/0\/images.terra.com\/2014\/09\/03\/rush-030914.jpg\" alt=\"Resultado de imagen para Rush luchador\" \/>Rush<\/h2>\n<p>What can we possibly say of the main Ingobernable that would do him\u00a0justice? Firstly, the so called &#8216;White Bull&#8217; is one of the most passionate individuals in the present day lucha libre, with rudo blood in his veins &#8211; a truly unruly guy. Let&#8217;s add that he is CMLL\u00b4s top <em>rudo<\/em> (heel) which has helped the company to stay relevant these last years (yeah, sounds crazy, but it&#8217;s true). Much better, Rush is the founder of one of the most representative factions on lucha libre: <strong>Los Ingobernables<\/strong>, a faction\u00a0that helped catapult luchadores like La M\u00e1scara and <strong>La Sombra<\/strong> (WWE&#8217;s <strong>Andrade &#8216;Cien&#8217; Almas<\/strong>), not to mention its Japanese chapter,\u00a0<strong>Los Ingobernables de Jap\u00f3n<\/strong>,\u00a0is the second most infamous heel faction in NJPW besides <strong>Bullet Club<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Rush is a natural brawler and also possesses an enviable technique. He is always one step ahead of his rivals because of his in-ring wiseplay. One thing that helped him a lot was that he was always (intelligently) programmed as a <em>t\u00e9cnico<\/em> (face) despite his villainous tactics. The crowd always went crazy mad (which still happens) and had us hooked waiting for his step to the rudos side. Rush was known at the time as the most abhorred Mexican luchador. Rush will never keep us indifferent and that&#8217;s why he is a must see. On a weird side note, his musical theme is &#8216;Whatever&#8217;, the same theme <strong>Chris Benoit<\/strong> had in WWE.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=cS7TDxINQrc<\/p>\n<h2><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.planetawrestling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/descarga-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"Resultado de imagen para Tit\u00e1n luchador\" \/>Tit\u00e1n<\/h2>\n<p>With nine years of experience (first known as <strong>Palacio Negro<\/strong> from 2008 to 2011), Tit\u00e1n is one marvelous luchador with a distinctive lucha style and an aerial move set which surprises people constantly (one little sample is his flying head scissors to the outside of the ring: a poem). All of this secured\u00a0the trust of the company, being the luchador who in 2013 travelled to New Japan, competing in that year&#8217;s <em><strong>Fantastica Mania<\/strong><\/em> and <em><strong>Best of Super Juniors<\/strong><\/em>. Tit\u00e1n depicted the Mexican luchador to the Japanese public in that year, becoming very popular in the rising sun land. Sadly, Tit\u00e1n has got caught in the mix of tag teams and currently\u00a0he is rarely used, being billed on tr\u00edos tag matches without relevance. One thing is for sure: Tit\u00e1n always excels and can carry a match without any problems. If you are lucky enough to watch him programmed alongside old time partner Trit\u00f3n, you&#8217;ll have double amazing lucha libre moments. Plus, he wears one of the most beautiful masks in lucha libre.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Y4OembRjP3g<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.expansion.mx\/dims4\/default\/af2c737\/2147483647\/thumbnail\/850x478%5E\/quality\/75\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.expansion.mx%2Fmedia%2F2015%2F02%2F17%2Fhechicero2.jpg\" alt=\"Resultado de imagen para Hechicero luchador\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Hechicero<\/h2>\n<p>This is <em>some<\/em> guy. Hechicero (also known as <strong>Rey Hechicero<\/strong>) is one hell of a wrestler. If you were a young luchador one thing would be for sure: you would love to fight against Hechicero. He has all the experience in the world (debuted 18 years ago), very tough luchador (hell, he even wrestled <strong>Shibata<\/strong> once), he is recognizable even among other legendary wrestlers although he isn&#8217;t very acclaimed by the public (which is understandable, sometimes luchadores with few\u00a0aerial moves aren&#8217;t that beloved by the crowd). Hechicero is one of the most curious cases inside CMLL. He can walk out the company with the safety of knowing he can always be back when they need him to level up their young guys. And that\u00b4s one funny thing since he is used as a rookie although he is notably older than several of the other luchadores programmed with him. Hechicero works great and he should be watched carefully and be enjoyed. The guy is so good that he alone could put over a piece of paper and make the crowd cheer for it.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=AbCrrRJkw8s<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; We continue our series, looking at 12 CMLL Luchadores that you should be watching right now.
