10/06: Pena, AAA

Video of Televisa Deportes on Antonio Pena’s death is up on youtube

Ovaciones has a Antonio Pena bio. They don’t list a cause of death, but do mention he recently had knee operations, and was hospitalized in Los Angeles and Monterrey at different times in recent weeks. Ovaciones gives Pena a lot of credit for the Rayo de Jalisco vs Cien Caras mask match (full Arena Mexico sell out with more than 3000 people outside the building), and for the gimmick created of guys such as Octagon, La Parka, Mascara Sagrada, Alebrije, Pentagon, los Vipers and Black Family.

La Aficion also has an article on Pena’s death and life. Referee Copetes is mentioned as the one who informed the wrestlers. Copetes seems to indicate it was an issue with his lungs here.

AAA’s has not updated their website, nor would I expect them to.

non AAA news: Black Warrior has an interview with Ovaciones, talking about the mask loss. He puts the blame for his loss on overconfidence – he thought he had the match won multiple times during the final fall, and never thought for a second he’d lose his mask. Mistico will pay for taking Warrior’s mask in blood, every time they meet. Black Warrior appreciates the postive reaction from the fans after losing his mask, but has no plans to turn tecnico. Outside of making Mistico’s life miserable till the day one of them retires, Black Warrior’s goal is to get into WWE in the next year.
