Silver King wrestled in New Japan between 2001 and 2002, primarily teaming with Dr. Wagner Jr, and also appearing as Black Tiger (where on a few occasions he teamed with former BT Eddie Guerrero in T2000). He will be sorely missed all over the wrestling world. pic.twitter.com/hxcshO2tSO — chris charlton (@reasonjp) May 11, 2019

Damn terrible news. Silver King was one of the best “bases” I saw in Lucha and I’m thankful I got to work with him in WCW. All my best to his family and friends. #RIPSilverKing https://t.co/hLmagVr65H — Hurricane Helms (@ShaneHelmsCom) May 11, 2019
