==Professional wrestling persona==
Muñoz's "Dragon Lee" ring character is that of a ''tecnico'' or the good guy; in Lucha Libre traditional good guy/bad guy divide is still maintained much stricter than most other countries in the 21st century.<ref name=Mondo/> His wrestling style is a high speed, high flying version of Lucha Libre, where he will take higher risks than a lot of wrestlers when executing moves off the top rope or from inside the ring to the outside.<ref name=NJPW>{{cite web | url = http://www.njpw.co.jp/profile/653 | script-title=ja:ドラゴン・リー | access-date=May 23, 2017 | work=[[New Japan Pro-Wrestling]] | language=ja | trans-title=Dragon Lee}}</ref> ([[Professional wrestling throws#Package fallaway powerbomb|Bridging package fallaway powerbomb]])<ref name=MedioMinute>{{cite web | url=http://www.mediotiempo.com/mas-deportes/lucha-libre/noticias/2014/09/19/caida-a-caida-81-aniversario-del-cmll | title=Caída a Caída... 81 Aniversario del CMLL | author=Redaccion | work=MedioTiempo | publisher=[[MSN]] | language=es | date=September 19, 2014 | access-date=September 20, 2014 | trans-title=Fall by ball... the 81st anniversary of CMLL }}</ref><ref name=SL81>{{cite web | url=http://Superluchas.com/2014/09/19/cmll-81-aniversario-cobertura-y-resultados-atlantis-vs-ultimo-guerrero-mascara-vs-mascara/ | title=CMLL 81 aniversario (Cobertura y resultados en vivo) -Atlantis destapa a Último Guerrero | first=Eduardo | last=Cano Vela | date=September 19, 2014 | access-date=September 20, 2014 | work=[[Súper Luchas]]| language=es | trans-title=CMLL 81s Anniversary (live coverage and results) - Alantis defeats Último Guerrero }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.tokyo-sports.co.jp/prores/mens_prores/686588/ | script-title=ja:【新日本】「スーパージュニア」開幕 高橋ヒロムがまさかの黒星発進 | access-date=May 18, 2017 | work=[[Tokyo Sports]] | language=ja | trans-title=New Japan] "Super Junior" opening battle Takahashi Hirom charges on | archive-date=June 12, 2018 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180612140347/https://www.tokyo-sports.co.jp/prores/mens_prores/686588/ | url-status=dead }}</ref> During his long running storyline with Takahashi the two developed such a trust in each other that they were able to perform high risk moves that Dragon Lee would not be able to do against other wrestlers who would not be able to execute their part of the move safely. His high risk style has led him to often use a [[Professional wrestling aerial techniques#Frankensteiner|Running frankensteiner]] throw where he leaps over the top rope and executes the leg scissor takedown on an opponent standing on the apron, sending him to the floor. His high flying style has earned him the nickname "El Niño Maravilla" ("The Boy Wonder").<ref>{{cite web | url=http://cmll.com/?p=98254 | title=El CMLL invade Estados Unidos junto a NJPW | date=May 18, 2017 | access-date=May 22, 2017 | work=[[Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre]] | language=es | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170521165313/http://cmll.com/?p=98254 | archive-date=May 21, 2017 | url-status=dead }}</ref>
 
One of his signature finishing moves is the "Dragon Driver", also known as the "Phoenix-Plex" - a [[Professional wrestling throws#Package fallaway powerbomb|Bridging package fallaway powerbomb]] where he lifts his opponent up, hooks his legs in a "package" position and then falls backwards so the opponent is slammed to the ground and he holds them there for a pinfall.<ref name=MedioMinute/><ref name=SL81/> The Phoenix-Plex is one of the riskier professional wrestling moves, designed to look like it hurts the opponent without actually inflicting too much pain, but can go wrong when the person executing or the person taking the move makes a mistake. That risk was highlighted in a match between Dragon Lee and Takahashi at NJPW's [[G1 Special in San Francisco]], where Dragon Lee released his opponent too early and Takahashi landed on his neck, breaking it in the process.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.f4wonline.com/wrestling-observer-radio/wor-hiromu-hodge-ufc-lesnar-g-1-special-king-indies-more-261201|title=WOR: Hiromu, Hodge, UFC Lesnar, G-1 special, King of Indies, more!|date=July 8, 2018 |work=WON/F4W - WWE news, Pro Wrestling News, WWE Results, UFC News, UFC results|access-date=December 28, 2018|language=en}}</ref>
