== Notes ==<br />
<br />
Durango Kid was one of the primary trainers at the New Japan Inoki Dojo in Los Angeles.<br />
<br />
He wrestled as Fuego in a tournament to gain entry to the 2006 [[NJPW]] [[Super Junior]] tournament, and stayed as Fuego thru the tournament. After proving himself on the tour, he was invited to wrestle with NJPW again in the future; Durango Kid removed his mask voluntarily in order to compete under his usual identity for New Japan.<br />
<br />
Began working regularly in Mexico in 2008, notably several shows for [[Ultimo Dragon]] and later [[IWRG]].<br />
<br />
He wrestled as '''Black Dragon''' on the return show for [[Juventud Guerrera]]'s [[Super X]] promotion on [[August 15]], [[2009]] in 3 way dance for the [[Copa XL]], against [[Angelico]] and Juventud.<br />
<br />
On [[July 26]], [[2009]] he started with [[CMLL]] as a lower/midcard [[rudo]], sporting a new mask. He spend the next year and a half as an early match rudo. Durango had a slight rivalry with fellow martial artist [[Sensei]], but it never got much attention. When Durango's brother [[Histeria II]] and others joined CMLL as [[Los Invasores]], there was periodic talk about Durango being added to the group, but it never came to fruition.<br />
<br />
Durango disappeared from CMLL at the end of February 2011. A few months later, SuperLuchas explained Durango Kid's firing was tied to [[Mistico]]'s WWE deal. Durango has used his US contacts to set up a WWE tryout for CMLL wrestlers, notably Mistico and [[Diamante]]. Mistico left CMLL before he could be punished, but Diamante was suspended for a few weeks and revealed Durango Kid's role in the tryouts, costing Durango Kid his spot.<br />
