Último Dragoncito

Miguel Ángel Arciniega Peña (born August 8, 1972), better known by his ring name Último Dragoncito ("Little Last Dragon"), is a Tapatío Mexican luchador (or masked professional wrestler) who works for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL).

He is part of the Mini-Estrella (or "Mini"), division and is the only wrestler to hold the CMLL World Mini-Estrella Championship twice.

His ring name alludes to the fact that he wrestles as a mini version of Último Dragón.

Miguel Ángel Arciniega Peña was born on August 8, 1972, in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico.

At the age of seven he became a big fan of lucha libre (or professional wrestling), especially the luchador enmascarado (or masked wrestler), known as Gallo Tapado ("The Hooded Rooster") who was a Guadalajara regular.

Later on he began going to the gym to get in shape before approaching Diablo Velasco to possibly train him.

Velasco turned him down, stating he was simply too short to be a luchador, standing at only 1.50m at the time.

He suggested that maybe if he learned Olympic style wrestling he may have a chance.

He began training with Cesar and Apolo Dantés, learning the wrestling basics and trained for with them for several years before actually being taught lucha libre.

With his small size the future Último Dragoncito did not get any lucha libre bookings right away until a local promoter needed a team to work a show, with the future Dragoncito being told that he was only included to make up the numbers.

Following his in-ring debut, under an undisclosed ring name, he was finally accepted as a professional wrestler and began working on a regular basis.

He was given the ring character "Misteriosito", a Mini-Estrella version of regular-sized wrestler Misterioso, working both in Guadalajara and Mexico City for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL), Mexico's larges wrestling promotion.

Working in the Mini division does not mean that Dragoncito is a dwarf as a number of wrestlers of short stature work in the "Mini" division as well.

In the mid to late-1990s CMLL did not focus much on their Minis division, and rarely made it onto their television shows which meant that Último Dragoncito only used sparingly for a number of years.

He originally worked as Misteriosito from his debut until 1992 when he was given his current ring name.

On July 29, 2022, he lost his mask to Pequeño Olímpico at a Viernes Espectacular show.

In 1992 then-CMLL booker Antonio Peña left CMLL to form his own promotion, Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA); Peña had been the mastermind behind the CMLL Mini-Estrella and most of the Minis in CMLL decided to leave with Peña, but Misteriosito was not one of them.

In the months following Peña's exodus Misteriosito found himself without any bookings for CMLL.

When he approached CMLL owner Paco Alonso he realised that Lutteroth thought he had left CMLL with Peña, then apologized and paid Misteriosito for the months he sat at home without working.

Following the 1992 Mini-Estrella exodus CMLL licensed the rights for the character "Último Dragoncito", a mini version of Último Dragón who worked in CMLL at the time.

Último Dragoncito has worked under that ring name ever since, even after Último Dragon left the promotion.

On March 14, 1993 Último Dragoncito defeated Orito to win the CMLL World Mini-Estrella Championship.

Dragoncito would hold the title for just under six months, without making a single successful title defense before losing the championship to Ultratumbita on September 11, 1993.

On September 19, 1997 Último Dragoncito worked the CMLL 64th Anniversary Show, CMLL's biggest show of the year, teaming up with Cicloncito Ramirez to defeat Damiancito el Guerrero and Pierrothito in the opening match of the show.

In October 1999 it was announced that Último Dragoncito had won the CMLL World's Mini-Estrella Championship for the second time, making him the only wrestler to ever hold the title twice.

Último Dragoncito did not win the title in a match, but rather through what is known as a "Phantom title switch", CMLL needed previous champion Damiancito El Guerrero to lose the championship as he had already begun working as in the regular division as "Virus".

Instead of making him lose in the ring CMLL decided to announce that Último Dragoncito had won the belt on an undisclosed day in October 1999.

Último Dragoncito held the title for two years, but as the Mini division was not very active he only made one successful title defense, against Pequeño Aristoteles, before losing the title to Pierrothito on October 16, 2001.

As part of the Entre Torre Infernal ("In the Infernal Tower") show Dragoncito, Bracito de Oro and Cicloncito Ramirez defeated Fire, El Fierito and Pierrothito in the opening match of the show.

He also worked the 2001 Juicio Final ("Final Justice") show, where Dragoncito and Tzuki defeated El Fierito and Pierrothito, two falls to one.

His next major show was the 2004 Sin Piedad' ("No Mercy") show on December 17, 2004, where Dragoncito and Tzuki defeated Espectrito and Pierrothito in the opening match of the show.

Dragoncito also worked the CMLL 72nd Anniversary Show in 2005, teaming up with Bam Bam, Pequeño Olímpico to defeat Pequeño Violencia, Pierrothito and Sombrita.

Último Dragoncito remained one of CMLL's main "tecnico" (Face or "good guy") Minis as the Mini division got more air time and promotional focus than in previous years.

On October 27, 2008 Último Dragoncito won the mask of Fire by winning a Luchas de Apuestas, mask vs. mask match.

In 2008 CMLL decided that the previously inactive Mexican National Lightweight Championship would be brought back and used as a secondary title in the Mini-Estrellas division.

Último Dragoncito entered a torneo cibernetico elimination match Lightweight Championship tournament on September 9, 2008, during the match he eliminated Cosmico but was in turn pinned by Pequeño Olímpico to be eliminated from the match.

Último Dragoncito was one of 13 Minis that risked their mask in a Steel Cage match, in the main event of CMLL's La Hora Cero ("Zero Hour") Pay-Per-View on January 11, 2009.

On January 6, 2009, he competed in his first ever Pequeños Reyes del Aire ("Little Kings of the Air") where he was the eight participant eliminated after a leap out of the ring went wrong and he crashed into the audience and was unable to continue in the match.

Último Dragoncito was the 10th wrestler to escape the cage to save his mask.

A few weeks later, on the annual Homejae a Dos Leyendas ("Homage to Two Legends") show Dragoncito, Pequeño Olímpico and Shockercito defeated Pequeño Violencia, Pequeño Black Warrior and Pierrothito.
