Popular Mexican Wrestler Dies in Ring During Match With Former WWE superstar Rey Mysterio Jr. [VIDEO]

Tragedy struck in Tijuana Friday during a tag team wrestling match. Former WWE superstar Rey Mysterio Jr. and Extreme Tiger (Tigre Uno in TNA) took on Manik (T.J. Perkins of TNA) and Perro Aguayo Jr. During Aguayo Jr. ended up suffering an injury that cost him his life.

The injury is thought to have occurred right around the 6:20 mark of the fight.




Wrestling Observer Figure Four Online printed a breakdown of the events leading up to when the injury is thought to have occurred:

Aguayo Jr. had gotten back in the ring after taking a spinning head scissors where he bumped to the floor from Rey Mysterio Jr. Mysterio Jr. gave him a low dropkick to the back to set up the 619. It is not clear whether Aguayo Jr. was selling or not when he first hit the ropes to get ready for the 619. He may have already been injured falling on the ropes, or, while selling, and being positioned badly, when Manik fell into the ropes to set up a double 619 spot, that was when the ropes whiplashed him, although it was likely the first spot immediately.

Damn.

Cause of death was deemed to be cervical spine trauma from when the rope snapped his neck.
