	Perro Aguayo, ''Don Pedro Damian Aguayo'', is a living legend and perhaps the biggest non-masked start in the history of lucha libre (along with [[Ray Mendoza]].) He left an indelible mark on every fan who him in the ring. His slogan was "El Cán de Nochistlán" (Nochistlan's dog), and ironically, his name was the product of an error when he was announced the first time. He was to be announced under his real name of Pedro Aguayo, but the d was changed to an r. Aguayo was angry about this mix up at first, but the unique name and character helped him become recognized as one of the lucha libre legends of the 70s.

He left an indelible mark on every fan who him in the ring. His slogan was "El Cán de Nochistlán" (Nochistlan's dog), and ironically, his name was the product of an error when he was announced the first time. He was to be announced under his real name of Pedro Aguayo, but the d was changed to an r. Aguayo was angry about this mix up at first, but the unique name and character helped him become recognized as one of the lucha libre legends of the 70s.

	Born in El Rancho Virgen de Nochistlan in Zacatecas, Pedro Aguayo had a hard childhood. He was 5 years old when he began working to support himself, and only went as thru the second grade in school. When he was ten, he moved to Mexico City and worked as a shoemaker, baker, and boxer. One day, Pedro met a luchador who convinced him he could do better in lucha than boxing. The first day of lucha libre training was unforgettable rough, and he was laid up in bed for days. Pedro stuck out the training, and continuing training in the lucha gym - ''Gloria''. At the gym, he met [[Ray Mendoza]] and two of his sons, the future [[Villano I]] & [[Villano II]]. Pedro later met [[Diablo Velazco]], who trained him and prepared him for his debut. His first match was on [[May 10]]th, [[1970]] in [[Sayula]].		Born in El Rancho Virgen de Nochistlan in [[Zacatecas]], Pedro Aguayo had a hard childhood.

	Perro had many victories in his career, including winning the [[WWF World Light Heavyweight Championship]] while part of UWA, and much success in Japan.

Perro had many victories in his career, including winning the [[WWF World Light Heavyweight Championship]] while part of [[UWA]], and much success in Japan. Still, Perro wanted the greatest trophy in lucha libre, the one thing every wrestler most wanted - [[El Santo]]'s mask.

	Many had tried to unmask Santo. All were defeated by Santo. Perro was not the exception, but he put up a fierce match in their [[October 3]], [[1975]] apuesta. Perro ripped Santo's mask and bloodied him like few had before, and Santo retaliated by going back to his beginnings for rudo tactics of his own. The fans bought into the possibility of Perro unmasked Santo, but of course Perro lost his hair on this night. (Another goal of Perro's was Fishman's mask, and he was unable to obtain it either.)

	Perro's career ended (for the most part) in ~~an memoral~~ way. In 2001, Perro was winding down his career, on an extended retirement tour, and due to have neck surgery due to a life in the ring. The feud with the Los Hermanos Dinamitas was still going strong, Perro faced the younger Dinamita, [[Universo 2000]], in a hair match at Arena Mexico. Universo won the match by using his [[Black Hammer]] martinete, and Perro concluded his career with his hair being cut off as he was unconscious and being strapped to a gurney.

	As all expected, Perro Aguayo eventually did return to the ring for revenge, teaming with his son [[Perro Aguayo Jr.]] to beat [[Cien Caras]] and [[Mascara Ano 2000]] for their hairs, and helping Junior beat Universo 2000 for his hair. Perro works about once or twice a year, but has peacefully retired as an every day wrestler.

			Perro Aguayo passed away Wednesday. He was 73. The news was released by the [[Perros del Mal]] Facebook page. A service was held for him Thursday morning. No cause of death was mentioned.

			Perro Aguayo was the biggest Mexican wrestling star ever among those who did not wrestle in a mask. He was a bigger star than most anyone who wore a mask too. El Santo would be ahead of him. Everyone else is arguable. Aguayo’s run as a top star went from the 70s all the way until the first years of this decade. Aguayo was nominally a rudo for much of his career but also a beloved figure. Pedro Aguayo wrestled as “Perro” due to a simple misspelling of his name early in his career. He wasn’t really happy with it at first, but the “Perro” image association ended up fitting well. Aguayo fought with the aggressiveness and the viciousness of a mad dog lashing out and refusing to give up until he defeated or scared-off his opponent. The heart to never give up is what drew the fans in to love and support Aguayo for many years. Take a look at his luchawiki apuesta record and you’ll see him taking a lot of losses in the late 70s and early 80s. That seems to incongruously coincide with his big rise in stardom. As best I can tell, it happened because Aguayo fought so hard in those losses that the fans still believed in him. Aguayo won plenty in his career but he also seems like one of the greatest “winning even while losing” wrestling stories.

			70s & 80s lucha libre was untelevised in [[Mexico City]], which meant they could away with a lot that wouldn’t have flown on TV even in those days. His homebase of [[El Toreo]]/LLI/UWA featured a more violent style than seen today, with a lot of blood and a lot of brawling. Perro Aguayo ended up with one of the most deformed foreheads in wrestling due to years of blading. The damage was probably much worse underneath the skin. Aguayo’s last truly public appearance, as best as I can determine, was his induction into the [[AAA Hall of Fame]] at the [[TripleMania XX\|2012 TripleMania]]. Aguayo was physically present at his son’s funeral in 2015 but did not speak to the media. The public story was his silence was due to grief. The loosely held secret was Aguayo was suffering from dementia or something like it brought on from his years of matches, and his family didn’t want to expose him or his condition. (Ovaciones reports this now as Aguayo being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 2010.) Aguayo is a guy who would’ve been celebrated at every opportunity had he continued to be able to make appearances. Instead, no one had seen him for years. If Aguayo had been a US star, there no doubt would’ve been reporters investigating what had become of him. He was mostly spared that spotlight in Mexico, allowed to remain as he was in people’s memories.

			There is at least a wire story on Aguayo in every Mexico website today, and plenty of latino leaning non-Mexico sites. It is recognized how huge a star he was, even though his last big run is now a generation removed. His son’s tragic death kept him in recent memory, I’m sure. Perro Jr. kept his father’s memory alive even after he had stop wrestling. The younger Aguayo’s transition into the personality he’s now most remembered as started when [[Leyenda de Plata\|he broke an El Santo plaque]] while declaring his father Perro Aguayo was the true biggest legend of lucha libre. [https://web.archive.org/web/20190704070908/https://www.publimetro.com.mx/mx/publisport/2019/07/03/la-maxima-figura-de-la-lucha-libre-no-es-el-santo-es-el-perro-aguayo-hijo-del-perro.html Publimetro] recounts that angle. [https://www.razon.com.mx/deportes/2019/07/04/adios-al-perro-aguayo-icono-de-tozudez-y-pundonor/ Razon] has a summary of his career. [[El Hijo del Santo]] calls [https://web.archive.org/web/20190704070927/https://www.publimetro.com.mx/mx/deportes/2019/07/03/hijo-del-santo-recordara-al-perro-aguayo-gran-luchador-gran-rudo.html Perro Aguayo the greatest rudo ever], and credits a feud with Aguayo with establishing him as a star wrestler.

			[[AAA]] remembered Perro Aguayo before their show. They might do it again before Saturday’s show. Aguayo is famously from Zacatecas but [[Jalisco]] became his homebase. CMLL will have remembrances at their own shows this weekend.

			[https://superluchas.com/celebremos-la-vida-y-las-glorias-del-perro-aguayo/ SuperLuchas] has a celebration of Perro Aguayo’s life, saying Aguayo became more famous than the Beatles at one point. [https://segundacaida.blogspot.com/2019/07/descansa-en-paz-perro-aguayo.html Segunda Caida] writes about a 1990 Aguayo match.
