'''Pedro Aguayo Ramírez''' (July 23, 1979 – March 21, 2015) was a Mexican [[Professional wrestling|professional wrestler]] and promoter who achieved fame in [[wrestling]] as '''Perro Aguayo Jr.''' or '''El Hijo del Perro Aguayo''' ("The Son of [[Perro Aguayo]]"). He was the real-life son of lucha libre legend Perro Aguayo and not a [[kayfabe|storyline]] "Junior".<ref name=MondoFamily/> Aguayo was best known as the leader of the ''[[Los Perros del Mal]]'' [[Glossary of professional wrestling terms#Stable|stable]], which he started in [[Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre]] (CMLL) in mid-2004. The stable became a significant draw in Mexican professional wrestling, peaking during Aguayo's [[Feud (professional wrestling)|storyline rivalries]] with [[Místico]] and [[Héctor Garza]]. In October 2008, Aguayo left CMLL to start his own [[Independent circuit|independent]] [[professional wrestling promotion]] ''[[Perros del Mal (promotion)|Perros del Mal Producciones]]'', built around members of his ''Los Perros del Mal'' stable. In June 2010, Aguayo returned to [[Lucha Libre AAA World Wide|AAA]] after a seven-year absence to start an invasion storyline involving his stable.

While performing in a wrestling match on March 20, 2015, Aguayo died almost instantly from [[cardiac arrest]] after fracturing three vertebrae. Following his death, Aguayo was inducted into the [[AAA Hall of Fame]] and the [[Wrestling Observer Newsletter Hall of Fame]].

==Early life==
Pedro Aguayo Ramírez was born on July 23, 1979, in [[Mexico City]], [[Mexico]],<ref name="Almanac2008Stats"/><ref name=MondoFamily/> the son of Luz Ramírez and Pedro Aguayo Damián, a ''[[Lucha libre|luchador]]'', or [[professional wrestling|professional wrestler]] known under the [[ring name]] Perro Aguayo.<ref name=DiaJuly23/><ref name=MondoFamily/> His uncle, Jesús Ramírez Ángel, was better known under the name Ídolo and his cousins competed as Ídolo I and Ídolo II. Aguayo's cousin works as "Pepe Aguayo", inspired by Perro Sr.

==Professional wrestling career==

===AAA (1995–2003)===
Debuting professionally at the age of 15, Aguayo Jr. started out wrestling established veterans in [[Lucha Libre AAA World Wide|AAA]]. He often teamed with his father, and the pair won the [[Mexican National Tag Team Championship]] on two occasions, defeating the teams of [[Fuerza Guerrera]]/[[Mosco de la Merced II|Mosco de la Merced]] and El Cobarde II/El Cobarde Jr., respectively.<ref name=MexTag1and2/> Aguayo Jr. worked his first major show on June 18, 1995, when he faced and lost to [[Juventud Guerrera]] as part of ''[[Triplemanía III-B]]''.<ref name="Trip3B">{{cite web | url = http://www.prowrestlinghistory.com/supercards/mexico/aaa/triple.html#iii-b | title = Asistencia Asesoría y Administración TripleManía | access-date = March 21, 2015 | publisher = ProWrestlingHistory.com}}</ref>  Aguayo Jr. formed a team of all "juniors", ''Los Junior Atómicos'', including [[Blue Demon Jr.]], [[La Parka AAA|La Parka Jr.]] and Máscara Sagrada Jr. The four defeated [[Charly Manson]], May Flowers, Nygma and El Picudo to win the [[Mexican National Atómicos Championship]] during a show in [[Jalisco]].<ref name=MexAtoms/> Five months later they lost the championship to ''Los Vipers'' ([[Histeria (wrestler)|Histeria]], [[Maniaco]], Mosco de la Merced and [[Psicosis II|Psicosis]]) at the [[Verano de Escándalo (1999)|1999 ''Verano de Escándalo'']] show.<ref name=MexAtoms/><ref>{{Cite news|title=Verano de Escándalo|work=Box y Lucha Magazine|pages=6–8|id=issue 2521|date=September 28, 1999| language=es}}</ref> After ''Los Junior Atómicos'' disbanded, Aguayo began teaming regularly with [[Héctor Garza]],  engaging in a four-way storyline feud with [[Heavy Metal (wrestler)|Heavy Metal]] and [[Latin Lover (wrestler)|Latin Lover]]. These four competed in various tag and four-way matches throughout the lengthy feud. One of the highlights of the storyline was Heavy Metal being shaved bald after losing a combination four-way [[steel cage match]] and  ''[[Lucha libre#Luchas de apuestas|lucha de apuesta]]'' on the [[Guerra de Titanes (2001)|2001 ''Guerra de Titanes'']] show, when Garza pinned Heavy Metal.<ref name="Titanes2001">{{cite web|url=http://www.prowrestlinghistory.com/supercards/mexico/aaa/guerra.html#2001|title=Asistencia Asesoria y Administracion Guerra de Titanes|access-date=September 12, 2009|publisher=Pro Wrestling History}}</ref> Later on Latin Lover would defeat Garza in another ''lucha de apuesta''.<ref name=ApuestaLatin>{{cite news|title = Latin Lover Rapó Garza | work =[[Súper Luchas]]| id = issue 26 | date =  November 9, 2003|language = es}}</ref> Aguayo Jr. and Garza defeated ''[[Los Vipers]]'' ([[Abismo Negro]] and [[Electroshock (wrestler)|Electroshock]]) to win the Mexican National Tag Team Championship.<ref name=MexChamps20002004/> The duo held the title for 61 days before losing it to [[Pirata Morgan]] and [[El Texano]].<ref name=MexChamps20002004/>

===Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (2003–2008)===
In May 2003, Aguayo Jr. moved to [[Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre]] (CMLL). He was initially brought in as a ''[[Face (professional wrestling)|técnico]]'' to team with [[Negro Casas]] against ''[[Los Guerreros del Infierno]]'', but did not receive the expected positive reactions from the crowd, and CMLL decided to turn him [[Heel (professional wrestling)|heel]] by having him win a tournament for a shot at [[Atlantis (wrestler)|Atlantis]]' [[Michinoku Pro Wrestling]] [[Tohoku Junior Heavyweight Championship]]. He won the tournament over established popular heels like [[Dr. Wagner Jr.]] and [[Rey Bucanero]], so by the time he met the [[Glossary of professional wrestling terms#B|babyface]] Atlantis for the title, he was seen as a heel by the fans. The title challenge was unsuccessful, but Aguayo was quickly put into a program with ''[[Capos (professional wrestling)|Los Capos]]'' with the story being he was getting revenge on [[Universo 2000]] for ending his father's career. During this feud, [[Shocker (wrestler)|Shocker's]] popular ''Los Guapos'' group backed Aguayo Jr. and he became a face again. The feud continued through the winter and into 2004 and was ended when Aguayo and [[El Terrible]] (a member of Los Guapos) defeated [[Cien Caras]] and [[Máscara Año 2000]] in a double hair vs. hair match at the [[Homenaje a Dos Leyendas: El Santo y Salvador Lutteroth (2004)|2004 ''Homenaje a Dos Leyendas: El Santo y Salvador Lutteroth'']] show. In the spring, Aguayo Jr. once again backed up Negro Casas and Shocker in their feud with [[Pierroth Jr.]], [[Vampiro|Vampiro Canadiense]] and [[Toscano (wrestler)|Tarzan Boy]]. The two groups went at it in ''trios'', singles, and tag matches before they were put in the annual "Cage of Death" match, in which the last two men in the cage, regardless of which team they are on, would face each other in a hair vs. hair match.  The heel trio escaped early and Shocker made a quick exit as well. Aguayo Jr. and Casas then faced each other, and Aguayo Jr. pinned Casas, winning his hair. Tensions began to rise between Casas and Aguayo Jr. after that point, and when Héctor Garza jumped to CMLL in July, Aguayo Jr. ditched Casas and joined him. After turning heel again, he took part in the ''[[Leyenda de Plata#Leyenda de Plata 2004|Leyenda de Plata]]'' tournament, held in honor of [[El Santo]]. After securing his place in the semifinals, Aguayo Jr. interfered in Negro Casas' match with Atlantis, costing Casas the bout and allowing Atlantis to advance. After defeating Atlantis in the semifinals, Aguayo Jr. faced the previous year's winner, [[El Felino|Felino]], for the trophy.  After Aguayo Jr. won the match, [[El Hijo del Santo]] came to the ring to award him the trophy, but Aguayo Jr. smashed it, claiming that Santo wasn't nearly the legend that Perro Aguayo Sr. was. The [[Glossary of professional wrestling terms#Angle|angle]] was hot and played off the feud the original Santo and Perro Aguayo had during the 1970s. Due to El Hijo del Santo's short tour with CMLL, the feud was rushed towards an indecisive singles match. The closest thing to closure for the feud was a ''trios'' match at the [[CMLL 71st Anniversary Show]], during which the team of Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Hèctor Garza and El Terrible (soon to be named [[La Furia del Norte]]) defeated Hijo del Santo, Negro Casas and Shocker. After that match, Santo focused more on his program with [[Averno (wrestler)|Averno]] and ''Los Guerreros del Infierno'' and Aguayo Jr. set his sights on Casas (to whom he lost), and the feud cooled down from there.

Starting in November 2004, Aguayo Jr. restarted his feud with ''Los Capos'' by teaming frequently with Vampiro and Pierroth Jr., who were also feuding with Los Capos at the time. At the year-end show, he had another singles match with Universo 2000 which led to Aguayo's father running in and making the save. In February 2005, Perro Aguayo Sr. returned to wrestling for one match, teaming with his son against Cien Caras and Máscara Año 2000 in a double hair vs. hair match. The Aguayos won the match (which was also billed as Cien Caras' retirement match), in the main event of the [[Homenaje a Dos Leyendas (2005)|2005 ''Homenaje a Dos Leyendas'']] show. After the match, ''La Familia de Tijuana'' ([[Halloween (wrestler)|Halloween]], [[Damián 666]]), and Aguayo Jr. decided to start a new faction, ''[[Los Perros del Mal]]'' ("The Bad Dogs"). Soon, the group would consist of Aguayo Jr., ''La Familia'', ''La Furia del Norte'', Blue Demon Jr., Pierroth Jr. and Pierroth's storyline sons. The group took on many rivals, including Negro Casas, Felino, Heavy Metal (who had just jumped from AAA), [[Antonio Gómez Medina|Máscara Mágica]], Universo 2000 and Aguayo's new focus, the rising star [[Místico]], who had defeated him in a main event singles match. The two agreed to a hair vs. mask match, but no date was specified. ''Los Perros del Mal'' faced off against their rivals in the 2005 "Cage of Death" match, in which Damián 666 took the hair of Máscara Mágica. On May 5, 2006, Aguayo Jr. was defeated by [[Rayo de Jalisco Jr.]] and [[Canek (wrestler)|El Canek]] in a three-way match for the [[IWRG Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship]] in [[Ciudad Nezahualcóyotl|Nezahualcoyotl]].<ref name=IWRGHeavy13>{{cite news|title=Lo Mejor de la Lucha Libre Mexicana durante el 2006|work=[[Súper Luchas]]|id=Issue 192|date=December 23, 2006|url=http://superluchas.com/?p=44|access-date=July 11, 2009|language=es}}</ref> Aguayo Jr.'s final major feud in CMLL was with Héctor Garza, which culminated in a Hair vs. Hair match on March 21, 2008, at ''[[Homenaje a Dos Leyendas (2008)|Homenaje a Dos Leyendas]]'', which Aguayo Jr. won via a low blow.<ref name=HomenajeLeyendas2008>{{cite web|url=http://superluchas.com/cobertura-total-homenaje-a-2-leyendas/|title=Resultados Homenaje a 2 Leyendas|date=March 21, 2008|access-date= September 18, 2011|work=[[Súper Luchas]]|language=es}}</ref>

===Los Perros del Mal and return to AAA (2008–2015)===
Aguayo Jr. left CMLL in October 2008, along with fellow ''Los Perros Del Mal'' members Damián 666 and [[Mr. Águila]], to start his own promotion called ''[[Perros del Mal (promotion)|Perros del Mal Producciones]]''. The new promotion's debut show took place on December 7, 2008, in Mexico City. On that show, Aguayo Jr. tag-teamed with [[Cibernético]] and Dr. Wagner Jr. to face [[La Parka|L.A. Park]], [[Olímpico]] and [[The Headhunters (professional wrestling)|Headhunter A]], and was victorious.

On June 6, 2010, at [[Triplemanía XVIII]], Aguayo returned to AAA to lead ''Perros del Mal'' in an invasion of the promotion.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.luchalibreaaa.com/triplemaniaxviii.html|title=Triplemanía XVIII: Fiesta de Fiestas|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100815092851/http://www.luchalibreaaa.com/triplemaniaxviii.html|archive-date=August 15, 2010|date=June 7, 2010|access-date=October 17, 2010|language=es|work=[[Lucha Libre AAA World Wide]]}}</ref> The group quickly aligned themselves with [[Konnan]] and Dorian Roldan's ''[[Foreign Legion (wrestling)|La Legión Extranjera]]'', ''La Milicia'' and ''Los Maniacos'' to form ''[[La Sociedad]]''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.luchalibreaaa.com/dorianroldanlasociedad.html|title=Dorian Roldan: Lider de la Sociedad|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100831095750/http://www.luchalibreaaa.com/dorianroldanlasociedad.html|archive-date=August 31, 2010|date=August 27, 2010|access-date=November 6, 2010|language=es|work=[[Lucha Libre AAA World Wide]]}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.luchalibreaaa.com/maniacossociedad.html|title=Maniacos, parte de la Sociedad|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101001084018/http://www.luchalibreaaa.com/maniacossociedad.html|archive-date=October 1, 2010|date=September 27, 2010|access-date=November 6, 2010|language=es|work=[[Lucha Libre AAA World Wide]]}}</ref> On August 14 at ''[[Verano de Escandalo (2010)|Verano de Escandalo]]'' El Hijo del Perro Aguayo wrestled his first major match for AAA since his return, when he, L.A.

==Death==
On March 20, 2015, Aguayo wrestled a tag team match, teaming with [[T. J. Perkins|Manik]] against [[Rey Mysterio]] Jr. and [[Tigre Uno|Xtreme Tiger]] at a show for The Crash promotion in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico. During the match, Mysterio used a [[headscissors takedown]] which according to Mysterio,<ref>Biography: WWE Legends "Rey Mysterio; air date August 28, 2022</ref> was supposed to propel Aguayo into the 619 position on the ropes but for some reason he bumped and went out to the floor.  Aguayo returned to the ring, upon which Mysterio dropkicked Aguayo in the shoulder to again set up for Mysterio's signature ''[[Tiger feint kick|619]]'' as Aguayo landed on the middle rope (the proper position for the ''619''). Aguayo appeared to attempt to stand up with his left leg.<ref>{{Citation |title=Wrestler Perro aguayo dies, Complete match!

Mysterio bounced off the middle rope to perform the ''619'', but did not hit either opponent as Aguayo was already slumped over the middle rope and Manik ducked. While the match continued, Konnan, who was at ringside, then attempted to revive the seemingly unconscious Aguayo by shaking him. The match still continued, with Mysterio next checking on the unmoving Aguayo, bringing it to the referee's attention. The match continued, with Mysterio pinning Manik at the center of the ring while Konnan again attempted to revive Aguayo.

With the match over, various personnel went to Aguayo, believing he was just unconscious and in need of medical help.  Officials later brought Aguayo out of the ring. When paramedics arrived, Aguayo was brought to the local Del Prado hospital, where he was pronounced dead around 1:00 am on March 21.  Aguayo was 35 years old.<ref>{{cite web | url= http://pwtorch.com/artman2/publish/Other_News_4/article_83992.shtml | title= New information on death of El Hijo Del Perro Aguayo; match video of Mysterio's 619 spot | last=Caldwell | first=James | date=March 21, 2015 | access-date=March 21, 2015 | work= PWTorch.com }}</ref><ref name=WONpasses>{{cite web | url=http://www.f4wonline.com/more/more-top-stories/101-mexico/41727 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150402113343/http://www.f4wonline.com/more/more-top-stories/101-mexico/41727 | title=Perro Aguayo Jr. passes away in Tijuana hospital after match last night (Updated) | archive-date=April 2, 2015 | date=March 21, 2015 | access-date=March 21, 2015 | work=[[Wrestling Observer Newsletter]]}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last1=Mullen|first1=Jethro|title=Mexican wrestling star Hijo del Perro Aguayo dies after kick in-ring|date=March 22, 2015 |url=https://edition.cnn.com/2015/03/22/americas/mexico-wrestling-hijo-del-perro-aguayo-death/|publisher=[[CNN]]|access-date=July 13, 2015}}</ref>

One of those injuries was a spinal injury and they did not want to remove that wrestler from the stretcher he was on, which was why they used the plywood to move Aguayo from the ring.
