AAA owner Dorian Roldan and the Atlante Fútbol Club commented on Rivera’s passing:
Sin duda alguna. Hoy la lucha libre mexicana pierde a su voz más carismática. Querido Rudo, descansa hasta dónde quiera que estés. Por fin, DOS GRANDES COMPADRES, se vuelven a ver de frente. Que junto con el Dr. Morales narren desde la Arena Celestial.
DEP Rudo. pic.twitter.com/0CJD4XiPkU
