Hugo Savinovich built his reputation as the excitable Spanish voice of WWE alongside Carlos Cabrera before becoming a familiar presence in AAA and Latin American lucha libre broadcasts. His repeated por poquito call, meaning so close or by just a little, became one of his signature reactions to near falls that fans instantly recognised. Clips of the shout later circulated on soundboards and in fan edits, where Spanish speaking wrestling audiences reused it outside matches for any situation that almost worked out perfectly.
About this sound
Hugo Savinovich shouting por poquito during a close near fall in WWE and AAA lucha libre, used for almost moments and narrow misses in edits.
Por Porquito is a short excited shout from Spanish language wrestling commentator Hugo Savinovich, delivered right after a wrestler kicks out at the last second. His voice jumps up in pitch and stretches the phrase with pure disbelief, turning a near pin into a huge dramatic moment. At just over two seconds it lands as an instant reaction, making any close call, failed catch or narrow escape feel bigger and funnier than it looked. The energy is pure lucha libre commentary, frantic, joyful and impossible to hear as calm or neutral.
