Loss of Brazo de Oro represents a painful loss for Mexican wrestling

With the death of the legendary Brazo de Oro at the age of 66 due to a heart attack, Mexican wrestling suffered a painful loss; however, he left a legacy in the national ring, alongside the Alvarado dynasty.

Shadito Cruz was the first of the Alvarados to pave the way for this legendary dynasty, despite being overshadowed by other luminaries of his time, such as El Santo and Blue Demon. Nevertheless, he is the patriarch of one of the greatest dynasties in the history of this sport.

After briefly wrestling as 'The Man with the Golden Arm', his sons took on this concept, creating one of the most important trios in history. The Brazos became one of the most popular masked groups in Mexico.

On October 21, 1988, they starred in one of the most important bet matches in Mexican wrestling, losing their masks to the Villanos in Nuevo León. Both groups were at their best, causing excitement over the defeat of Brazo de Oro, Plata, and Bronce.

Brazo de Plata was the one who gained the most support from the audience, standing out for his physical condition, being one of the few Mexican wrestlers who meet the super heavyweight requirement. His legacy continues to be present in the rings, thanks to his children Psycho Clown, Máximo, and Goya Kong.

Santo and Son of Santo

Originally from Hidalgo, his debut in 1934 marked the beginning of the ultimate representative of Mexican wrestling. Rodolfo Guzmán devoted himself to the sport for 50 years, which led him to become one of the greatest symbols of Mexican culture.

His achievements in the ring earned him the applause of fans, but it was his leap into the film industry that consolidated his international fame.

The 'Silver Masked Man' died on January 5, 1984, due to a heart attack. Since February 5, 1982, his legend in the wrestling ring continued, thanks to his heir, the Son of Santo.

With over 30 years of professional career, the heir to the legend became one of the main figures in Mexico, which led him to work in the United States, Japan, and Europe.

Blue Demon and Blue Demon Jr.

García, Nuevo León was the place where this great legend of Mexican wrestling was born, often considered the best of all time (alongside El Santo). A professional wrestler since 1948, the 'Blue Demon' marked an era in Mexican wrestling with his style.

His death, which occurred on December 16, 2000, paralyzed wrestling enthusiasts. Starting in 1985, his legacy continued, thanks to his son Blue Demon Jr.

Like his father, Demon Jr. established himself as a figure in the wrestling ring, excelling in Mexico, the United States, and Japan.
