Hoy lamentamos comunicar de viva voz del propio luchador así como de sus médicos que el gladiador regiomontano padece de cáncer pulmonar, motivo por el cual se retirara por un tiempo de los encordados, para someterse al tratamiento correspondiente, mismo que contara con 6 quimioterapias, para después volver a realizarle exámenes y determinar el progreso del tratamiento, por este medio los mantendremos informados de su evolución. Toda la comunidad luchística lamenta los momentos por los que esta atravesando el luchador y amigo, de parte de toda la familia de la lucha libre y por supuesto de la empresa Perros del Mal le deseamos una pronta recuperación a Héctor Garza para poder verlo de vuelta en los cuadriláteros. Por ultimo le pedimos a todos los aficionados sus oraciones y los mejores deseos para Héctor Garza." The abbreviated translation: Hector Garzas health problems are lung cancer. Hes retiring from wrestling for the moment to fight it, and has 6 chemotherapy sessions scheduled. Theyll do more exams after them to trace the progress of the disease and re-evaluate then.

Misatouki Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 Such an underrated wrestler in the USA. I'm not saying that just because of his passing, either. Garza was over anywhere he went, he was a good wrestler (he hit the tornillo perfectly), and was put over by some pretty big names in WCW and TNA. Yet nothing really came of those pushes, and he seems to get forgotten when people mention great Mexican wrestlers. Of course, I don't follow Lucha all too much, so maybe he wasn't as underrated as I'm saying, but he just seemed so. In either case, R.I.P. to Hector Garza and my condolences to the family.

Fried Posted May 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 Great article at luchaworld.com, well worth checking out for some backround. http://www.luchaworld.com/?p=25708 The guy was great, like Misatouki mentions above he had some big names put him over in WCW and TNA, he also put over and established a lot of LL guys like his team with La Mascara and Hijo del Fantasma before they were really settled.
