José Alvarado Nieves, known as both Brazo de Plata and later Super Porky, passed away on Monday aged just 58. As of writing, no cause of death has been revealed, however, he has had well-known heart issues, even at times faking heart attacks during matches. In recent years, he had been in a lot of pain with his back and at times needed a wheelchair after breaking his leg but being too overweight to have surgery.
He has left behind five children, all of whom followed him in the business. The most famous of them is his son Psycho Clown, one of Mexico’s biggest stars, having headlined the past three TripleMania’s. He was a second-generation wrestler himself and had five brothers who were also wrestlers using variations of the “Brazo” name.
While difficult to believe now, he began his career in 1977 as a lightweight wrestler and was considered a great athlete. In later years he would embrace his rotund appearance and focus on entertaining fans through comedy. He would compete for CMLL, AAA, New Japan, All Japan, and even WWE during his lengthy wrestling career. His WWE run took place in 2005 and 2006 when he was hired to be part of SmackDown’s Juniors division but was subsequently released along with the rest of the wrestlers in the division when McMahon lost interest. Additionally, in 2003 he competed once in MMA for Deep, a Japanese-based promotion. Unfortunately for fans of pro wrestlers turned fighters, he would lose via submission in the second round.
