Throughout his near 40 year career, Scorpio Jr. remained a consistent force in wrestling, having long stints with both CMLL and AAA. Notably, Scorpio Jr. returned to AAA earlier this year after over seven years of being away from the promotion. His final match saw him team with Alan Stone & Zumbido in a six-man tag team match against Las Shotas (Dulce Kanela & Jessy Queen) & Pimpinela Escarlata.
Notably, Scorpio Jr. was able to win the CMLL World Tag Team Championships on two occasions back in 1999 with his then partner, Bestia Salvaje.
Fightful would like to send our best wishes to the fans, frienfs, and family of Scorpio Jr. as they continue to navigate these difficult times.
