show. By the fall of 2008 Mascarita Dorada's matches were so well received and he became so popular with the fans that CMLL decided to create a large version of the character, Mascara Dorada
. This was the first time ever that a regular sized wrestler was based on a Mini and not vice-versa. While the two Doradas wore the same outfit CMLL never books them as a team, preferring to keep the Mini-Estrellas separate from their regular size division.
On September 16, 2008 Mascarita Dorada won a Tornero cibernetic match, qualifying for the finals of a tournament to crown a new Mexican National Lightweight Championship
. The following week Dorada lost to Pierrothito, furthering the storyline feud between the two. Mascarita Dorada participated in the 2009 version of the Pequeños Reyes del Aire tournament, but was not able to repeat the success of the previous year. Four days later Mascarita Dorada was one of thirteen Mini-Estrellas who put their mask on the line in a Lucha de Apuesta cage match, Dorada was the last to escape the cage leaving Pierrothito and Shockertito to fight over who had to unmask. On March 6, 2009 Mascara Dorada once again participated in an "All-Minis" cage match where all 14 wrestlers put their masks on the line. This time Pierrothito was the last to escape the cage, leaving Mascarita Dorada and Sombrita to fight it out. Mascara Dorada pinned Sombrita and forced him to unmask after the match, per Lucha libre traditions.
Throughout 2009 Mascarita Dorada and Pierrothito has faced off several times, both in CMLL and for various other promotions including PWR, Toryumon and two matches in August, 2009 for Chikara that the two split between them with one win each. The two were also involved in a 15-man cage match under Lucha de Apuesta rules, this time mixed Mini-Estrellas and local wrestlers. In the end Mascara Dorada escaped, once again leaving Pierrothito as one of the men fighting for his mask. At the CMLL's Sin Salida
show on December 4, 2009 Mascarita Dorada defeated Pequeño Damián 666 in a Lighting Match, a one fall match between two single competitors.In CMLL the most common match form is trios tag team matches, three vs. three and almost always best two-out-of-three falls.
