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.
