    Unhappy Mexican Legend Brazo de Plata ‘Super Porky’ Passes Away Aged 58

    Comedic wrestlers play a very large part in professional wrestling. Often, they fail to get the respect and recognition that they deserve. However, those who work in the industry understand. The sad news was circulated yesterday that Mexican wrestler Brazo de Plata has passed away. Better known for the latter stages of his career as the comedic wrestler Super Porky. He was just 58 years old.

    The news was broken by Mexican talk show Mas Lucha and was later confirmed by multiple other sources including Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer.

    Super Porky Brazo de Plata passed away at 58. One of the great comedy wrestlers of all-time.

    Brazo de Plata is better known in the US for his time with WWE where he wrestled under the name Super Porky. While he never really had a real match, he was part of the Smackdown juniors’ roster. Appearing predominantly in backstage segments.

    A small man with a very large physique, it only served to make his oddly athletic moves more impressive.
    Super Porky Came from a Legendary Luchador Family

    While his accomplishments in the ring might not be as legendary as others, Super Porky came from the legendary luchador family. The Alvarado family runs multiple generations deep in the ring. Super Porky fought alongside his brothers for a lot of his career before eventually fully embracing the comedic side of his catching personality.

    Despite failing health in later years, Super Pork continued to wrestle and work the independent scene in Mexico.

    Following the news of his passing, several prominent wrestling names tweeted out their respects, including NXT star Santos Escobar.

    ‘I LOVE YOU Pepito. Rest in Peace Silver Arm “Super Porky” my condolences to the entire Alvarado family. Today the Celestial Arena receives a legend.”

    A serious wrestler in his youth, his expanding waistline saw him gain the Super Porky moniker in the mid-1990s. His real legacy began once he embraced this side of himself. However, despite his bulging waistline and seeming ineptitude, he was a talented wrestler and a man who loved the business.

    Condolences go to the Alvarado family.



    BOW DOWN TO THE KING

    ***GAME OVER!***
