Maximo reportedly in stable condition after suffering heart attack

Posted on by Dave Meltzer

Jose Christian Alvarado Ruiz, best known as Maximo, a former CMLL world heavyweight champion and star exotico, reportedly suffered a heart attack earlier today.

Alvarado, 39, the son of the legendary Super Porky, Brazo de Plata (Jose Alvarado Nieves), was admitted to a private hospital early today. The reports are that he has recovered and is in stable condition, while still under observation. He will remain in the hospital resting for at least 24 hours.

Super Luchas reported the story earlier today.

Alvarado started wrestling in 2000 and became a regular with CMLL three years later. He became a star as the exotico Maximo, wearing a toga type outfit in pink.

Maximo’s career hit its peak in 2015 when he defeated El Terrible to win the CMLL heavyweight title. But in 2017, footage was shown of a number of members of the Alvarado family destroying Ultimo Guerrero’s car at the private Arena Mexico parking lot. CMLL fired Maximo and stripped him of his title.

He wrestled for The Crash first, but moved to AAA as Maximo Sexy in 2018. Even with his past popularity and star power, he was not figured strongly into the AAA booking of late.

CMLL reportedly fires Maximo Sexy and La Mascara

Super Luchas magazine reported that both Jose & Felipe Alvarado, better known as Maximo Sexy and La Mascara, were fired from CMLL stemming from the incident yesterday morning where a number of members of the Alvarado family destroyed the car of Jose Gutierrez (Ultimo Guerrero) in a story that may have even more significant ramifications.

The incident was seemingly that the Alvarado family expected that the position of the head of the company controlled wrestlers union would go to a family member, and Felipe in particular expected he would get the position his father held. There was apparently a meeting on Thursday where Gutierrez spoke negatively about Jesus Alvarado (Brazo de Oro, who passed away on April 28th), and the next morning the furious family destroyed his car in a private parking lot at Arena Mexico.

Gutierrez said he was pressing charges so now police are involved in the situation.

There are many questions because other Alvarado family members. most notably Super Porky, still work for CMLL. Super Porky is currently out of action due to health reasons but is one of the most enduring stars in Mexico. Felipe is close with the Munoz family, which includes Mistico, Rush and Dragon Lee, and the Casas family is related to the Alvarado family by marriage.

Maximo was off last night’s show in Arena Mexico, where he was scheduled in a trios main event and replaced by Marco Corleone without explanation. La Mascara wasn’t booked on the show.

Maximo Sexy was the CMLL World Heavyweight Champion and La Mascara was the CMLL Light Heavyweight Champion. CMLL owns both names.

What makes this even more of an issue is that Psycho Clown was one of the family members who was there while the car was being destroyed, except he was unmasked. Because the footage could make mainstream news, it also affects AAA’s biggest match of the year, Psycho Clown vs. Dr. Wagner Jr. in a mask vs. mask match.

AAA would look bad in not punishing Psycho Clown, and would expose their biggest money match in years if they did get rid of him. There’s also the thought that AAA, who has lost a lot of talent, would welcome the recently fired members of the Alvarado family.
