Pasión Kristal debuted in 1994 and in 2008 made her AAA Lucha Libre debut as part of Los Exoticos with Cassandro and Pimpenella Escarlata. She remained a part of AAA until 2015, then headed to International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG) in 2016, where she remained until this day. She last competed for IWRG on May 30 in a tag team tournament with her Las Shotas partner, Jessy Ventura. In 2012, she started her own promotion, Lucha Libre y Espectaculos del Sureste (LLES), while still remaining with IWRG and working various Mexican independents. As well as being a longtime star in the Exotico scene in Mexico, Kristal was also a strong advocate in the Mexican LGBTQIA+ community.
LWOPW sends its condolences to Pasion Kristal’s family as well as her friends, peers, and fans around the world.

I’ve lost so many people during my 10 years in wrestling. Tomorrow is never promised. @pasionkristal and @onlymamba had called me to congratulate me right after I got signed and we were laughing our asses off as usual at each other. Ugh, this one hurts a lot.

One year we were in Tabasco on my birthday and @pasionkristal kept the venue open for all of us after the show. We danced and sang for hours. Literally HOURS! She always made everyone feel welcome and part of her family. As she would say it, she was bad bitch and loved by all pic.twitter.com/02ZVRYUGt0
