PWInsider.com is sad to report the passing of Jack Venano, who will be forever remembered as the most popular wrestler ever in the Dominican Republic, to the point that he ended up winning the NWA World Championship in 1982 because if he hadn’t, there may have been an insane riot.
Veneno, real name Rafael Sánchez, passed away on Tuesday 4/6 following a battle with pancreatic cancer that had spread to his lungs on 3/26, leading to his hospitalization. His daughter Paolo first announced his passing on her Instagram account, writing, “You fought her to death, you won the girdle of eternity. Goodbye father.”
