Since even searching for Perro Sr just pulls up a billion videos/articles about this son's death, can some kind soul direct me to some of his most important matches?

He had a match with Konnan that drew a huge crowd.

edit: I mixed up who he feuded with with one of Konnan's most notable feuds. K-dog feuded with Jake Roberts in Mexico, not Perro. Perro also feuded with Cien Caras and it drew a lot of money.

Sadly his hottest period isn't really out there since it was in the UWA and that stuff is mostly gone. During its hey day the UWA was probably the hottest promotion on the planet.

Rest in peace Perro. Seeing him, Mil and Fishman as a kid were what planted the seeds for me loving lucha as an adult.

Here's him vs Fishman at the sportatorium in early 84

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOOKgSmgCL8

It's a relatively short match but 1000% action and gives a general idea of how awesome their feud in UWA must have been.

No, she has been representing the family. The family collectively owns it, but Paco was the actual President of the company. One would assume Sofia will take over but it's never a sure thing.

Chavo Lutteroth is still around too. He was in charge from the 70s-80s

Come to think of it I don't think they acknowledged Joaquin Roldán's either.

Fredo Esparza translated an interview with Sofia Alonso done today. Key highlights are that they didn't tell the luchadores about Paco Alonzo's death until they went out on Sunday for the minute of applause. Fray Tormenta will perform the mass on Friday in Arena Mexico.

Sophia is in charge and will be running the promotion. She doesn't expect to do massive changes but will make some small ones going forward.

I guess this officially means Sophia is the most powerful woman in wrestling. Wonder if they will eventually try to patch things up with AAA?

Cuatrero, Forastero, Sanson and Volador Jr vs Euforia, Gran Guerrero, Soberano Jr and Templario
Hijo de LA Park, LA Park and LA Park Jr vs La Bestia del Ring, Mistico and Rush
And finally, the main event: Jushin Liger's last match in Mexico is a fatal fourway against Caristico, Negro Casas and Ultimo Guerrero

look Paco Alonso on his deathbed invented a new match for CMLL to have Liger in. You don't have to disparagingly call it a "fatal" fourway.
