Notes

Veteran luchador who was one of the earlier wrestlers to do an exotico gimmick. Was always considered a good worker and to be in great condition which allowed him to wrestle through three different decades. His career ended in AAA after he took on the Karis La Momia gimmick for just under a year. Due to his legendary status he was able to also get his son Super Calo into the promotion and even after his retirement he stuck around as a referee. Disapeared from the world of Lucha Libre in the mid-90's but eventually returned to work some angles with his sons for AAA in 2006.

LuchaBLog Obituary:

Bello Greco, Raul Garcia Salazar, passed away on Friday. Greco’s career goes back to the 60s as el Greco, but his biggest run started in the 70s when he switched to the Bello Greco character. It was a forerunner to the exotico characters seen today, and he formed teams with Sergio el Hermoso and Babe Sharon as La Ola Lila. His in-ring career lasted into the first year of AAA, where he worked as the original Karis La Momia. (The person who took over the character is now the second La Parka.) Greco had a connection to AAA off and on over the years, working as a referee, working behind the scenes, and making some cameos in 2006 when his three sons (Super Calo, Alan Stone and Chris Stone) were forming a group.

AAA and CMLL have notes acknowledging his death; CMLL did so Saturday and there was nothing on last night’s show about it. KrisZ, SuperLuchas, Function Estelar, and DJ Spectro have obits.
