RIP Signo

El Signo passed away yesterday.

He's most famous as a member of the Misioneros de la Muerte, the superstar team that more or less made 3v3 the standard format for multiman matches in Mexico. During the prime of the original group (Signo, Negro Navarro, Texano), he was probably the biggest star of the three, but he's also the least remembered among English speaking wrestling fans today. Texano split off from the group early and had CMLL runs and a memorable team with Silver King, and Navarro had his renaissance as an indy legend, but Signo's career didn't have that kind of second act. Almost none of his prime exists on video (if any does at all), so the clearest representation of his wrestling style comes from the 1992 UWA TV program. He was in the latter half of his thirties by then but he looked like he still ranked with the best guys in the country. Of the founding Misioneros, now only Navarro remains.

RIP.
