Former leader of the wrestler's union in Mexico City. Early AAA rudo, with his best run in 1994.

Ice Killer (Juan Carlos Varela, 60) passed away Tuesday due to COVID-19. Though he spent his much of his career as “Canalla I”, he’s best known for the character resembling Jason from the Friday the 13th movies. He’s a trivia note for debuting that character on the first-ever AAA show alongside fellow debuting character La Parka. The La Parka character has had a lot more fame, but Ice Killer carved out a career around Mexico City, eventually running his own promotion with his daughters and grandson wrestling. Ice Killer’s brother, Canalla II, also passed away back in January due to COVID-19. SuperLuchas has a useful obituary for Ice Killer.
Ice Killer and his wife attended El Halcon magazine’s awards ceremony on March 7th, the last time they made a public appearance. He reported feeling sick a few days later. His wife remains hospitalized with COVID at last word. It is impossible to know with certainty where someone picks up COVID-19, but photos of that magazine ceremony – indoors in with a lot of people and not many properly wearing face-covering – felt very distressing from afar at the time. With indie shows ramping back up and promotions often not even meeting the legal minimum efforts to prevent the transfer, these deaths are likely to continue. I hope people can get the vaccines as quickly as possible and that those vaccines are effective and safe.
