Descanse en Paz Roberto Rangel

“El Guero” Roberto Rangel who has been refereeing for EMLL since 1953 died yesterday after complications of diabetes at 72-years-old. Rangel was not just legendary for being a referee but he was the editor of the original Super Luchas magazine and also worked for Box y Lucha magazine also. Rangel was part of many legendary matches involving the likes of El Santo, Blue Demon, Black Shadow, Huracan Ramirez, and pretty much all of the other legends of lucha libre. Rangel also did other things that would change the scene of lucha libre as he brought in Lizmark to the business and created the character of Espectro. Descanse en Paz “El Guero.”
