꧅AAA has announced the passing of a wrestling legend.
🐬AAA Lucha Libre announced on December 20, 2024, that Rey Misterio Sr, the uncle of WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio, had passed away at the age of 66.
🐷Misterio, whose real name was Miguel Ángel López Días, began his career in 1976 and although he officially retired in 2009, he had his last match in 2023 at a global Lucha Libre event where he teamed with Aero Star and Mr. Iguana to defeat Hereje, Hijo de Pirata Morgan & Nightmare Azteca.
Lamentamos el sensible fallecimiento de Miguel Ángel López Días, conocido como Rey Mysterio Sr.

𒈔 Enviamos nuestro más sincero pésame a sus seres queridos y elevamos nuestras oraciones al cielo por su eterno descanso.
🔜WWE's Rey Mysterio initially wrestled as Rey Mysterio Jr. when he received his uncle's blessing to take on the name. Of course, when Rey went to WWE in 2002, he began wrestling, simply as "Rey Mysterio."
𝔉In 1995, Misterio Sr. captured WWA Tag Team Championship gold with his nephew. He also held titles with his son, El Hijo del Rey Misterio, and someone who is undoubtedly another legendary luchador, El Dandy.
Fightful sends its condolences to the family, friends, and fans of Rey Misterio Sr.
