	Mexico City luchador Tempo (24 or 25) passed away on Friday. The reports of the incident state that he was riding his motorcycle when he was hit by a trailer truck, was sent flying into another vehicle, and passed away at the scene. Word spread about him passing away quickly, and there was no mistaking who it was because of a photo floating around of the aftermath. Most of his body is covered by a sheet; his right arm was not. It’s easy to spot the same distinctive “un dia a la vez” (one day at a time) tattoo on that arm, the same one that was visible in every photo of Tempo. The police actually identified him because he was wearing his gear (and clothes over the top) when he was hit; he was on his way to his next match. There appears to be a security video of the collision on social media; I’m not watching it. Tempo wasn’t a big star – didn’t get a chance to be – but the story of his death got a lot of attention.

(There’s a story that lists Tempo as older and as wrestling as [[Tony Cirio Jr.]], the son of [[Tony Cirio]]. That story seems incorrect, and I’m not sure how that became the story.

	Tempo was one of the young guys from the [[Mexico City]] area who were around for a long time but didn’t really get a chance to stand out for much of it. The list of trainers he provided in that interview linked above includes [[Arturo Beristain]], so I think he must’ve trained with [[CMLL]] at some point. He started wrestling in 2018, says he began training with [[Stuka Jr.]] (Stuka Jr. wrote about his memories on Tempo’s Facebook), and was a regular on [[Welcome to Mi Barrio]] until [[covid\|the pandemic]] seemed to change those shows. I think he got a little more attention starting with the pandemic, because he was one of those guys who found ways to keep wrestling when there wasn’t much going on. His highest profile work may have been the few matches he worked for [[Big Lucha]]’s shows – he actually ended up on more shows for the short-lived [[XLL]] successor promotion, but more people were tuned into Big Lucha. He ended up bundled with that group of guys in their post-Big Lucha existence, getting a fair amount of work across Mexico. Tempo won a young luchador elimination match back in November in [[Arena Neza]]. He was scheduled to wrestle on the [[ULC]] show on Friday night; ULC seems to be focused on elevating guys, and Tempo was the guy they were going with this month. [[Golden Jr.]] stepped in for him, and everyone dedicated the match to Tempo’s memory. Many other shows around the Mexico City area held moments of remembrance through the weekend. [[Flamita]], another one of his trainers, wrote a tribute to Tempo on his chest during his match in [[Dragon Gate]] on Sunday. [[Joaquin Wilde]], in tribute, mentioned he had just trained with Tempo in Mexico City this past week and had recommended him to [[WWE]] for a tryout. His funeral service on Saturday includes many photos from his wrestling career and the masks he wore.
