— Juan Alvarado, who wrestled for the last 32 plus years as El Brazo, passed away Tuesday night due to complications from diabetes. He was 52 years old.
El Brazo, Brazo de Oro & Brazo de Plata were one of the most famous trios in lucha history. The brothers (sons of Shadito Cruz) had gone their separate ways years ago when Brazo de Plata, as Super Porky, became a superstar.
On behalf of everyone here on the website, I would like to extend our condolences to the family, friends and fans of El Brazo.
— Justin Credible recently posted his latest column, discussing Monday’s RAW. Here are some highlights…
“The Main Event on Raw was a No DQ match for the Tag Titles with Tag Champs The Shield vs The Rhodes. It was a great TV match. I enjoyed it as much as anything in a while. First off, they beat the hell out of each other. I mean it was physical. I got sore watching the match. It was back and forth action, with 2 sets of heat. Finally Cody made the last comeback, and as JR says business picked up. After a ton of outside stuff, Dean Ambrose got involved. After a sick spear on Goldust, thru the barricades, Big Show came out of the crowd, knocked out all three men. After that 1 2 3 we have new Tag Team Champions, The Rhodes boys. Great stuff at the end. HHH came down, and went nuts, as Show stood in the crowd doing Bryans Yes gimmick. Exciting ending to a good Monday Night Raw. Makes me want to buy HIAC.”
