The world of Argentine catch is in mourning. Just days after the death of ‘Lieutenant Murphy’, another historic figure from 100% Lucha has left us. This is Sergio Carelli, the creator and performer of Gorutta Jones, one of the most beloved and remembered characters of the program that marked an era in national television.
Carelli had been fighting a long battle against an illness that kept him hospitalized for months. Finally, he could not overcome the complications and passed away, leaving a huge void in the hearts of catch fans and everyone who worked with him.
Gorutta Jones was an eccentric wrestler, with his characteristic monkey mask and wild moves in the ring. He was part of the regular cast of the program that was a resounding success on Argentine television two decades ago, with rating peaks exceeding 20 points.
The news of his death came as a shock to the artistic community. Colleagues and friends have already begun to say goodbye on social media, remembering his charisma, professionalism, and unmistakable humor. ‘A giant has left’, ‘Thank you for so much’, and ‘RIP’ are some of the messages flooding the profiles of the wrestlers and producers of the program.
With Carelli’s departure, catch loses another of its pillars. What remains is the nostalgia of those memorable fights, the laughs, and the punches he gave us every time he stepped into the ring. The 100% Lucha family shrinks, but the legacy of Gorutta Jones lives on more than ever.
