I am drowning.
There is no sign of land.
You are coming down with me, hand in unlovable hand.

And I hope you die.

I hope we both die.

This is terrible.

The description's still unclear (and cause of death probably won't be for a while) but it's troubling since it seems like something that could have happened to anyone in the ring, unlike Hart's death which was a stunt that shouldn't have been approved to begin with. You want the business to be as safe as possible and things like this happen.

So loving sad, especially on such a routine move. Really shows how dangerous this dumb thing we all enjoy can be.

per luchablogs twitter for those wondering why there was no ringside doctor:

Just to be clearer: other people on the show were injured, and that's why the doctor (and stretcher) were not there right away for Perro's.

The full match video might be even more grim than the artful closeups of a dying man video, it looks so routine and normal. Just a horrendous situation.

the official cause of death is a "golpe que tuvo en la región cervica" - spinal stroke, I think. Which would be similar to Misawa.

Here's another video that makes it clearer that Rey didn't even touch him with the 619. The last move was a dropkick to the arm.

I honestly didn't know who he was until I looked up some of his stuff on youtube. It's always awful when somebody dies so young, but it's a double bummer to see somebody so talented go.

It looks like the dropkick was barely a nudge, too. Can't blame Rey for this at all.

Christ that's awful. My prayers for this guy and his family. What a horrible freak accident.

Not to detract from the man who actually died, but poor Rey also. He's got to be thinking he killed a man, even if he knows factually it's not true.

What a lovely thing.

It's possible it had nothing to do with the spots at all, this can be caused by drug abuse.

according to wikipedia he had abdominal surgery on a tumor in 2011 and had a burst peptic ulcer, was supposed to take a full year to recover but they found the tumor to be benign and he returned like the next month. and theres an increased risk of spinal stroke after abdominal surgery

Seemingly, everyone in lucha has alcohol abuse problems. That's just the attitude there.

Idk for sure, but i think in 2011 or 2012 he was no-showing a ton of shows, and then said he had cancer, but it was a lie. but that was maybe someone else. I'm no expert.

You can see his lower back smack into the apron on that head scissors to the outside (the angle he hits reminded me of the HBK casket bump at Royal Rumble 98) on the move before the dropkick. So it was most likely that and then it caught up with him a few seconds later when he dropped for the 619.

Mysterio did a great job of still missing Perro with the 619 despite thinking he was going to move.

That whole period caused a lot of suspicion, most people seemed to not buy his story but he had a scar so no one really knew.

eh cant blame them for the rain-out or the bus-wreck, p much just the lack of permit when they had to re-schedule

also this death did not occur in AAA but an indie in tijuana or some sort from what i understand so im not sure what youre talking about or why youre making GBS threads on AAA for this

It wasn't an AAA show, they don't really run many house shows, it was an unaffiliated show in TJ.
