Category:Brazo Family: Difference between revisions

The Brazo Family is a well known family of lucha libre. The heart of the family are the six sons of Shadito Cruz, who all took the Brazo name at one point in their career. Brazo de Oro was the first, and others were named off his identity.

The most famous Brazo match took place against another family of wrestling, the Villanos. The highpoint of their never ending feud was a trios match with on 1988.10.21, where all masks were on the line. Villano I, IV, and V won, and El Brazo, Brazo de Oro, and Brazo de Plata lost their masks. The bloody nature of the match - which continued in various combinations of rematches for decades after - and three people losing their masks at once makes it a noteworthy match.

The Brazos trios continued, but the names changed. The other Brazos filled in for the original three during times of injuries or other unavailability. Super Brazo was first, and he was later followed by Brazo Cibernetico and Brazo de Platino. Various combinations of the six worked as El Brazos in the decades since they started, but in 2007 Brazo de Plata declared that only he, Oro and El Brazo should be promoted as Los Brazos and any other combination was fraud.

While many of the original Brazos are active, their sons have also started to wrestle. Brazo de Oro Jr., Brazo de Platino Jr., and Brazo de Plata Jr. all debuted as second generation Brazos. In 2004, Brazo de Oro and Braza de Plata had their sons change to unrelated and individual identities, feeling the name "Brazo" had been worn out, and lost some of its value due to many hair match losses.

The family can seem especially bloated and be particularly difficult to verify, as the brothers have had a tendency to "sell the rights" to the Brazo name to unrelated luchadors whenever strapped for cash.

On October 27, 2013, most of Alvarado family were host in TV program Tercera Caida. Brazo de Oro and Brazo de Plata clarified all about the real and fake members of dynasty. Brazo de Oro says there are 18 real members of Brazos (including the 3 members who died), and also mentioned wrestlers who use the name but do not have any relation to the family. (boxylucha)

El Brazo Jr. is not related to El Brazo but may have permission. Andros de Plata also claims to be part of the family but does not have permission to use the name; he was given the name rights in exchange for payment and didn't fulfill his obligations. Octagon Jr. was previously presented as Brazo Metalico, a supposed son of Brazo de Plata. Super Brazo II was presented by the original as a successor whilst being explicitly recognized as a non-relative (and was soon joined by and Hijo de Super Brazo, who's situation is unknown).

La Alimaña and Lady Apache are related via their respective marriages to Shadito Cruz's daughter Guadalupe Alvarado & Brazo de Oro. The family is also connected to the Casas family as Psycho Clown married Zaraida Casas, the non-wrestler daughter of Negro Casas, and to the Pirata Family as a result of Máximo's marriage to India Sioux (daughter of Hombre Bala). Robin is married to a relative of Ephesto and Luciferno.
