ESPN Deportes in Mexico reports that Mexican wrestling legend Perro Aguayo still has not been informed of his son’s tragic death because he is not in good health and there is concern over how he will take the news.
As noted, Lucha Libre star Hijo del Perro Aguayo passed away after an accident during a match in Tijuana, Mexico on Friday night after a spot with Rey Mysterio. TNA stars Manik and Tigre Uno were also in the match. Aguayo was rushed to a hospital about a block away and then pronounced dead at around 1am local time. His cause of death was reported as a stroke caused by cervical spinal damage and the medical report says he suffered from whiplash, according to MedioTempio.com.
ESPN Deportes also reports that Ignacio Delgado, owner of the indie company CRASH that was promoting the match, said at a press conference that the company will cover all funeral expenses. It sounded like the promotion is doing what it can for Aguayo’s family and the funeral will be held in Guadalajara.

Just one night after Hijo del Perro Aguayo (Perry Aguayo Jr.) passed away after an accident at a CRASH indie event in Mexico on Friday night, Konnan, who was one of the first to tend to Aguayo Jr. after the in-ring spot with Rey Mysterio, was present for last night’s AAA Lucha Underground tapings in California. There was a ceremony done for Aguayo Jr. and it was described as “very sad” by Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter.
Lucha Underground officials informed the press that talents would not be available for interviews this weekend and won’t be available until the next tapings because the talents were too upset to talk.
There were tributes for Perro done at several Mexican promotions last night and it’s expected we will see some form of tribute at the indie events during WrestleMania 31 weekend in California. There has been no mention of the passing by WWE yet.
Aguayo’s funeral is being held today in Guadalajara.
