THE LUCHA REPORT: ROBERT PAZ PASSED AWAY

NEWS
Roberto Paz who is considered one of the pioneers of the extreme
lucha libre movement in Mexico over the last decade and a top wrestler in the
80’s & 90’s died Saturday night at the Sanatorio Sagrado Corazon in
Guadalajara. Roberto who made his name as a wrestler in buildings such as Pista
Arena Revolucion in Mexico City and Arena Victoria in Guadalajara was a member
of the highly underrated trio of Los Rockers with current EMLL referee Baby
Richard, Aguila Venezolana, & Masther during the 80’s. It was during this
time that he was a part of a movement to form a union among the wrestlers in
Toluca while he was 1/3rd of the Mexican State Trios champions. Roberto would
end up joining the main roster of EMLL as Pequeno Halcon under a mask in the
early 90’s before losing the mask to Climax II at Arena Coliseo. Paz would go on
to form New Wrestling Generation in Guadalajara around 2000 and used mostly
local guys that he trained himself along with some bigger names such as Baby
Richard/Black Terry/Javier Cruz/El Dandy/Engendro/L.A. Par-K/Mano Negra/Negro
Navarro/Rambo/El Signo/Shu el Guerrero/El Texano/Ultraman using mostly extreme
rules for the matches being one of the first promotions in Mexico to do that.
Roberto trained a lot of young wrestlers but Joe Lider is considered his star
pupil and he has gone on to have some success in AAA using that extreme style he
was taught by Roberto. Roberto’s sons who are Shiryu Dragon & Roberto Paz
Jr. along with Tony Rodriguez also worked for NWG among other extreme rules
groups in Mexico. There will be a ceremony tonight at Arena Victoria for fans to
view his body before he will be cremated.
