Today’s the anniversary of Perro Aguayo Jr. passing. AAA will hold a mass in his honor in Mexico City today at 4. The Perro Aguayo Jr. tribute from Lucha Underground is still very affecting. It’s tough not to think about how Perro would fit in now, and what he’d think about the issues going on behind the scenes.
ESPN talked to Khan-El-Mal, who talks in detail about how that week and night took place. He was the one who called home to tell the rest of the family Perro Jr. had died, concerned they’d find out first thru other ways. He mentions a reason they were careful in telling Perro Sr. is he had underwent heart surgery prior.
Hijo del Santo says he talked to Rey Mysterio Jr. in December, reassuring him he wasn’t at fault what was happen. Santo says Mysterio was very hurt by the memes and other images mocking Perro’s death or blaming him for it. Santo has had no contact with the Aguayo family since the funeral, after the Aguayo family accused him of trying to get publicity off Aguayo’s passing. (Santo disputed this.)
In a interview with a few luchadors, La Parka (AAA) says some commissions have improved after Perro’s death, others have not, it’s not something that can just be fixed in a year or two and most of the people ‘suggesting’ fixes were just looking to get a moment in the spotlight. Texano notes it’s not the first death in the ring, and Perro’s passing was a series of unfortunate events. Khan says Perro fought for better conditions for his fellow luchadors during his career, and would be glad to have helped with that in his passing.
Mr. Aguila says Hijo del Perro once told him the best thing that could happen to him would be to die in the ring, and he thinks about that when he thinks back about Perro now. Aguila prasies Aguayo for his humbleness despite having everything, and feels the Perros del Mal name should’ve been retired after Aguayo passed away.
Krudemon from R de Rudo discussed the new Perro Aguayo Jr. photo exhibit, crediting it as an idea Dr. Landru and Mexifotos came up with, as both worked with or for the Perros del Mal promotion.
Psycho Clown praises Hijo del Perro for how he help out El Brazo’s family with a benefit show after his passing
