Very sorry to hear of the passing of my friend, the great Mexican Luchadore Silver King. He was always a pleasure to spend time with and wrestle when we were both in WCW in the 90’s.

Sorry to hear about the passing of #SilverKing. I had so many great matches with him when I worked @CMLL_OFICIAL in the early 90s and more importantly he always made me… https://t.co/IKf7YL6Zyg

It was an honor to have been friends & shared the ring with the great Silver King. He & Tejano were an amazing team. He truly was one of the greats & I'm heartbroken to learn of his passing. ???? #RIPSilverKing pic.twitter.com/WhM1zM9jfp

I am saddened to hear about the passing of Silver King. Like so many of the great Luchadores that helped Americans appreciate Lucha Libre and make Nitro the success it was, he will be missed. Thank you and RIP.

As a harmless rib, Silver King and Dandy kept calling spots in Spanish even though they knew we didn’t speak it. It was pretty funny in retrospect. They would say about 30 words then shoot me to the ropes for a simple spot. They got me. ???? https://t.co/qPN0q22QdU
