Once Los Matadores was repackaged to The Shining Stars, there simply wasn't much of a need for El Torito. On a positive note, his "WeeLC" match against Hornswoggle was highly praised as one of the best WWE matches of 2014. But, there still wasn't a huge demand for El Torito, so he was part of the massive releases in May.
Since departing WWE, El Torito returned to Mexico and went back to AAA Wrestling, under the name Mascarita Dorada. He has done quite well since his return to Mexico, even winning the AAA Mascot Tag Team Championships with his brother Mascarita Sagrada.
One thing WWE fans may not realise is that El Torito has always been highly regarded and respected in Mexico as a tremendous wrestler.

About the author

Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
