R.I.P. Abismo Negro

Andrés Alejandro Palomeque González, aka: Abismo Negro, was one of the attractions in Mexico’s CMLL and AAA in the past decade and a half.

When AAA and the WWF began their working relationship Abismo Negro was one of the talents who wrestled before the Royal Rumble during the free for all. Abismo also had a few stint in TNA, specifically in 2004 – competing in the NWA/TNA X-Cup Tournament. Mexico will forever remember Abismo as a founding member of Los Vipers and his many meetings with the legendary luchadore La Parka. As a wrestler who worked in the big Mexican promotions, you knew Abismo had to be talanted. Los luchadores have a hard job, trying to compete against American companies by developing a style unique to Mexican professional wrestling.

AAA has never been for performers who are faint of heart.

Abismo’s won a handful of titles in Mexico, including the Mexican National Middleweight Championship (one of North America’s oldest championships) after AAA took control of booking matches involved with that title. However, Abismo’s crowning moment had to have been winning AAA’s Rey de Reyes (King of King’s, a tournament quite similar in its concept to the WWF’s King of the Ring) in 2000, defeating El Alebrije, Charly Manson and Cibernético.
