Top AAA Wrestler Dies After In-Ring Spot With Rey Mysterio

[Wang Chung]

AAA wrestler Pedro Aguayo Ramírez, who wrestles as El Hijo del Perro Aguayo, died early this morning after a mishap in a match with*Rey Mysterio*at a show in Tijuana, Mexico last night.

News reports indicate that El Hijo took the initial move before the 619 in the trachea and experienced whiplash. Video of the entire match and the aftermath is above. The sequence that apparently led to El Hijo's fatal injury begins around the 6:20 mark. El Hijo takes a dropkick from Rey to set up the 619, and then slumps on to the ropes.

El Universal reports that*Konnan*tried to revive Ramírez to no avail. He was later transported to a nearby hospital. Newspaper El-mexicano.com reports that El Hijo died around 1:00 AM local time.

We here at Wrestling Inc. send our sincerest condolences to Aguayo's family, friends and fans.

Mexican promotion CMLL tweeted their own condolences for El Hijo in a show of support for AAA.

Terrible news. Just terrible

I've never been a fan of the 619, but seriously this is tragic news. I feel for the family and friends of this fallen man. I hope this doesn't eat Rey up too badly.

The crazy part is I found this on ESPN.

I to hope Rey can over come this

There's a more in-depth story out there where they say it wasn't actually the 619 but a bump before that did it. Still shitty though.

I've seen the video, and it was one of those dumb dropkicks her does trying to get the guy to slump onto the ropes for the 619. He accidentally kicks him on the side of the neck.
