The funeral for Andres Alejandro Palomque Gonzalez aka Abismo Negro was held yesterday at Casa Pedegral de la Casa Funderia J. Garcia Lopez in Villahermosa where the entire AAA staff and other wrestlers attended along with family and friends to pay their respects. The funeral started late due to the body arriving late but everything went as planned.
Abismo’s wife Blanca Perla Garcia gave a eulogy fighting away the tears as she looked at her children and out of the wrestlers that paid their respects Aero Star & Black Abyss were the most inconsolable since Abismo was his mentor. AAA had banners that they placed on the casket along with a mask and EMLL sent over a crown as well.
AAA Owner Joaquin Roldan gave a brief statement to the press after the
funeral and said that he would support Abismo’s family to the fullest and that
he would retire the gimmick along with a tribute show being in the works. It
was also announced that Abismo would be cremated.
Super Calo stated to Super Luchas that Abismo was like his brother and they
spent the early part of their adult life working together and at times living
together with Abismo’s wife. Calo said that he & Abismo then known as Winners
were part of the foundation of early AAA having many successes before taking his
mask in a match that he cherishes as one of the greatest moments of his career.
Calo said that they hadn’t been in contact as much as he would’ve liked but he
would always remember the great times they had.
Hijo del Santo was asked if steroids had a place in Abismo’s death and he said
that he didn’t know if it played a role in his death like many of their American
counterparts but it is becoming a big problem in Mexico that must be addressed.
Santo said that these guys go to doctors and get the supplements they need to
get bigger and it ruins their health and he has seen Groon XXX personally have
many health problems due to his usage.
Dr. Luis Martinez who is a psychiatrist for the ABC Neurological Center said
that the circumstances of Abismo’s death could’ve been due to steroids because
the symptoms were there as he wasn’t using his better judgment due to the
anxiety and anger that could’ve been enhanced by steroids. Dr. Martinez said
that when those symptoms take control there isn’t a whole lot you can do to stop
it if you aren’t strong enough mentally to control yourself.
In other Abismo news, Abismo was supposed to have worked Saturday night in
Cancun but didn’t show up so they put someone else in the outfit.
At the Arena Puebla show on Monday night the wrestlers paid tribute to Abismo
with a 10-bell salute and some had comments on the situation. Mistico said that
no one knows of the circumstances of Abismo’s death but God and he hopes that he
is with him now. Sangre Azteca said that at this time business doesn’t matter
only friendship among the wrestlers and this lets him know that you never know
when it is your time to go.
