Status: Deceased.

A luchador that was famous even before his professional career got officially started: the legend says that Perro Aguayo began training to become a luchador since he was eight years old. Well-known for his menacing demeanor and unstoppable brutality, as well as for his generosity and kindness outside the ring. A character of contrasts, as they say.

It is told, one of those rumors that suddenly turn into gospel, that Aguayo was a very visceral man. He often took professional feuds personally, so he got into a bunch of wild altercations both in the ring and on the streets. Infamous for concealing razor blades in his furry boots or wristbands, he often used this forbidden weapon to inflict damage not upon his enemy, but upon himself! As his forehead gushed ever-growing strings of blood, the crowds cheered louder.

He participated in over 100 bet matches, and he managed to keep his luscious mane safe for most of those times. Not all of them, though, as we can see in the video down below:
