El Rayo Dorado

La Fuerza

## Personal Life

Adrian 'Fuerza' Hernandez was born on December 17th, 1991. Adrian is a 4th Generation Luchador from the rich and well known Hernandez family. Growing up he and his brother, currently luchador Chico Chingon we're both brought into the industry by their Father Mr. Fuerza, one of the most accomplished and decorated luchadores in Mexico as well as in Japan. Adrian has been a successful luchador in his own right but has always been overshadowed by his brothers success, as well as his fathers favoritism towards him. He was also apart of Mexico's biggest rivalries with Gretery. Since, the 'Fuerza' family have been hated by the Reyes family and vice versa. However, after losing his mask to Gretery, Mr. Fuerza, Adrian's father has called him a failure and despite his success, he much rather favors his brother. This became one of Mexico's biggest controversy's in the business as Mr. Fuerza has gone on the record to call it all a fixed event since no one his family's history has ever lost a Lucha De Apuestas. Since the incident between the Reyes family, despite the way his father and family looks at him, Adrian is determined to make it up to his father and his family. His brother however has removed himself completely from everything that had to do with the 'Fuerza' family.

## Early Career

Adrian began wrestling in various little independent promotions with the help of his father getting him booked. He showed promise at a very young age as he would find much success and began to travel outside of Mexico such as Japan and the United Kingdom.

### AAA Worldwide (2015-2018)

After working the independent scene for so long with his Brother, Adrian now known as El Rayo Dorado after disbanding his previous ring name 'La Fuerza', a name given to him by his father. He was only one of two wrestlers signed with the promotion alongside his friend and foe, Gretery. During his first couple years in AAA he worked mostly along with Gretery in matches in which they worked with each other, whether it be tagging or in singles competition. The two we're on the rise until in Gretery injured his knee in 2016 that put a halt to Adrian's and Gretery's up and coming momentum. Adrian continued to work house shows and appear on weekly shows, eventually winning the AAA Fusion Championship before dropping the title a week later to brother, Chico Chingon.

Upon Gretery's return in 2017, it seemed as if the higher ups within AAA favored him more that Adrian. Plans rapidly changed for Adrian as all the plans that we're intended for Adrian was given to Gretery. This irate him as it began what was known as 'Mexico's Biggest Rivalry'. This rivalry was the talk all over Mexico but it all ended with Gretery winning in which Rayo lost his mask in a Lucha de Apuestas match thus ending the rivalry and then later losing his hair against Gretery in what would be one of their final matches.

## Drama with La Fuerza Familia (2018)

'Family Drama' soon ensued once in the Fuerza Familia when Adrian was defeated by Gretery and lost the sacred gold mask. News outlets throughout Mexico began to report on the matter as Mr. Frueza publicly went on the record and said that he made a mistake passing down the mask to Adrian, instead he should've given it to his youngest child. However, Mr. Fuerza tried to speak to AAA Executive Directors to veto the result of his Lucha de Apuestas match against Gretery.

Unaware of his fathers actions, it came to his surprise when he found out his own father attempted to bribe AAA executives to try and veto the match in which they denied his offer. Adrian, who was already shocked and angry at his fathers actions. Because of this controversy Ramon Reyes and Gretery heard word and attempted to put a stop to Mr. Fuerza. Though, this all being because of Mr. Fuerza the Reyes Familia took it personal and did their best to do whatever it takes to rid the Fuerza Familia from AAA and from Mexico as a whole. After weeks of this, AAA parted ways with Adrian Hernandez and banned Mr. Fuerza back into the promotion. Mr. Fuerza responded by starting his own promotion to compete with AAA called 'World of Lucha Libre'. He recruited both sons, in which Chico Chingon accepted but because of the weeks prior, Adrian said no and went his separate ways and cutting ties with his father completely, but baring La Fuerza name.

## Leaving Mexico and into the Independent Circuit (2018-2020)

After the events in Mexico, Adrian who was now going under the name 'La Fuerza' traveled to the United Kingdom to compete in various independent promotions. Being from Mexico, his style was not seen often at all, allowing him to become a fan favorite; something he had never really experienced in Mexico. After about a year in the indies, wrestling in Scotland, Wales and England Adrian made a big decision. That being going to Japan and doing what his father had done decades before him.

Upon arriving in Japan, Adrian went under a new persona called 'Golden King' and bringing back the mask he had previously lost it Gretery in their Lucha de Apuestas match in Mexico. Wearing the his family mask once again, he received backlash from the fans in Mexico as well as from his own family. Regardless of the backlash, he continued to wear the mask and compete in different style macthes that he wasnt used to, especially Death Matches.

In the tail end of 2020, Adrian had reconnected with his family as his father tried to rebuild their relationship. Adrian wasn't fond of the idea, but he was willing to give his father and family a second chance. His brother however wanted absolutely nothing to do with him. After leaving Japan, it wasn't long before Adrian debuted in 'World of Lucha Libre' with his Rayo Dorado persona. His run was short lived before he left the promotion and signed with CWL.

## CWL (2021-Present)

Rayo Dorado made his official debut at Genesis 29 in a losing effort in a multi-man match. Reprising his first persona, he had a shaky start to his career in Genesis, ultimately going 2-7. Rayo's highlight in Genesis was being able to face off against former AAA luchador, Karl Stone.

### Vindication Debut

After only spending a little under three months in Genesis, Rayo Dorado made the unexpected jump to Vindication to take care of unfinished business with former friend and rival, Gretery. Many speculated that Rayo came to CWL just to be able to face off with his old rival and friend. Rayo was greeted with an unfriendly welcome from Gretery who seemed to have not wanted to do anything with him. Over the coming weeks, Rayo continued to taunt Gretery in what seemed to be a way to catch his attention. Rayo made his intentions clear as he wanted to fight Gretery one last time. At 5.8 Shadowbanned, the two stepped in the same ring for the first time in nearly four years. In the end Gretery was the victor but it seemed the two are on the same page, forming an alliance known as 'MexLinaje'.
