El Texano, real name Juan Aguilar, passed away late last night. He was 47. (WO.com)
Texano’s last major show was part of 2005’s AAA Triplemania. He later suffered a back injury in Tijuana cage match (a culimination of years of wrestling and not one terrible fall; his back was visibly troubling him on the Triplemania show) which ended his career and led to his health problems.
Texano was paralyzed for a time due to that back injury, and it led to many other health problems. There were reports of him being in and out of the hospital, and tribute shows had been held to help pay his bills.
Box Y Lucha has a memories thread, and I presume there will be some sort of memorial to him on various shows this week. His son, Texano Jr., was scheduled to work the Arena Queretaro on Tuesday, and at him in Arena Guadalajara on Sunday.
