Mar 21, 2015 Holy s---..... video of right after the move at the bottom. I don't know this guy but I'm absolutely shocked at how this happened...RIP. Mexican wrestler dies following match with ex-WWE superstar Rey Mysterio Tragic news out of Mexico as Asistencia Asesoria y Administracion wrestler Pedro Aguayo Ramirez (better known as Hijo del Perro Aguayo) died Friday night in Tijuana while taking part in a tag-team match with former WWE performer Rey Mysterio. Mysterio delivered a dropkick and landed his patented “619” on Ramirez — a move where a wrestler has his head draped on the second rope and receives a kick to the face. Unfortunately the move didn’t go off as planned. Via PWTorch.com: According to news reports, El Hijo took the 619 in the trachea trying to avoid the move, causing severe whiplash. El Hijo was placed on a backbrace by paramedics and taken out of the Municipal Auditorium arena to Del Prado hospital. The Zeta publication initially reported that El Hijo was stabilized at the hospital after losing consciousness. However, local news outlet El-Mexicano.com reported that El Hijo was pronounced dead around 1:00 a.m. local time. Zeta followed up with a headline storyalso reporting that El Hijo died early Saturday morning. The match, put on by CRASH wrestling, went on for several minutes before Ramirez, 35, received medical assistance. You can watch video of the final moments of the match here. The Baja California state prosecutor's office has opened an investigation into possible manslaughter, per the Associated Press. Friday was only Mysterio’s second time wrestling following his departure from World Wrestling Entertainment in February. The son of lucha libre legend Pedro Aguayo, Ramirez started his wrestling career at the age of 15 in Mexico teaming with his father and would go on to become a three-time Mexican National Tag Team champion. Along with wrestling in AAA and CMLL (Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre), Aguayo Jr. started his own promotion called Perros del Mal. AAA released a statement on its website that translates to: "Lucha Libre AAA feels much the loss of one of their star talent, praying for the repose of Pedro Aguayo Ramírez, in addition to the early resignation of his relatives. We thank the media support, understanding, respect and discretion at such a difficult time." http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/the-t...-ex-wwe-superstar-rey-mysterio-192735547.html
Mar 21, 2015 By the way, I noticed the clip doesn't show the actual move but for the non-wrestling fans reading this, it's the same move Rey also did at the 35 second mark to someone else.
Mar 21, 2015 Pretty negligent of the other guys to just carry on with the show when that guy was clearly injured. That's embarrassing.
Mar 21, 2015 They just figured the show must go on. But I honestly wouldn't be able to continue knowing my friend was like that.
Mar 21, 2015 I could see them waiting 30 seconds or so since wrestlers are supposed to 'sell' their injuries (aka pretend to be hurt) but after that it was pretty obvious something was very wrong. They even did spots right over where he was lying, pretty ridiculous.
Mar 21, 2015 A little more info. According to MedioTiempo.com, the cause of the death for AAA star El Hijo Del Perro Aguayo was a stroke caused by cervical spinal damage. There have been many questions as to why it took almost 2 full minutes for anyone to treat Aguayo after he fell unconscious in the ring, and the Medio Tiempo report is noting the doctor in charge of the event was preoccupied with treating two other injured wrestlers, so he was unable to be present at ringside for the main event. Following his collapse, Aguayo was carried out on a piece of plywood, as officials wanted to get him backstage as quickly as possible so he could be transferred to an ambulance. The report also notes doctors at the Tijuana hospital to which Aguayo was taken tried to resuscitate him for over an hour before pronouncing him dead. http://www.wrestlezone.com/news/563179-el-hijo-del-perro-aguayo-cause-of-death *edit* Also here's video of the whole match, the incident is around the 630 mark..
Mar 23, 2015 is that suicide from tna ? with a name like suicide something is guaranteed to go bad R.I.P.
Mar 23, 2015 I took it as just trying to make light of the situation (which they might not have known how serious it was right then) for the crowd's sake. Imagine a kid at the show witnessing his favorite wrestler die in front of them. I get your point tho. And it's f----- up Rey getting death threats over this. I used to watch el perro aguayo senior as a youngin. s--- is too sad.
Mar 23, 2015 Looked to me like Mysterio caught him in the shoulder (Routine drop kick to "the head"), and then the way he fell into the rope caused the actual damage. There's another video floating around from the event with a better angle, but even here it looks to me like Mysterio was doing everything the way it was choreographed, and the dude fell just right (For lack of a better term), and his neck snapped when he hit the rope.
Mar 25, 2015 d--- that's crazy Rey used to be one of my favorite wrestlers when I watched it and he was in the WWE.(not sure if he still is)
