Cesar “Guerrillero†Valentino who starred for EMLL & UWA throughout the 60’s,
70’s, & 80’s died thi morning at the age of 68 due to an undisclosed illness.
Valentino debuted at the age of 17 in 1958 in Veracruz where he worked the local
scene until 1962 when he joined EMLL where he starred for 13 years before
joining Francisco Flores’ UWA. It was in the UWA where he had maybe his greatest
successes as he defeated Anibal America Salvaje to become their first UWA World
Jr. Light Heavyweight champion on November 20th 1977 in Mexico City and held
that title for 441 days before losing it to Gran Hamada on February 4th 1979 in
Mexico City. Cesar would battle greats like Anibal, Canek, El Solitario, Villano
III, among others during the glory days of UWA when they were one of the biggest
promotions in the world. Cesar would go on to become a booker for the upstart
AWWA that was run by Televisa along with a boxing promoter from Los Angeles
named Don Fraser with Lou Thesz as the figurehead president and he won the AWWA
World Jr. Light Heavyweight Title in a match against Tully Blanchard on August
12th 1983 at the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City. It wasn’t long though before the
AWWA folded and Valentino kicked around Mexico, Guatemala, and other countries
until his retirement in 1993.
El Mesias, Billy Boy, & Hijo del Tirantes were arrested last night after a show
in Ciudad Juarez where they got into a fracas with a 31-year-old man named
Fernando Cordova over an incident where he led the AAA employees from a bar
where he met them and they got a hold of some cocaine with the AAA guys using it
in his car which he got upset with them for doing. The AAA guys then proceeded
to kick his ass before they were soon arrested and released on bond.
