As noted earlier, top AAA wrestler Pedro Aguayo Ramírez, who wrestled as El Hijo del Perro Aguayo and Perro Aguayo Jr., died early this morning after an accident during a match in Tijuana, Mexico last night. The match was for the CRASH Lucha Libre independent promotion, and featured Ramírez teaming with Manik against Extreme Tiger (Tigre Uno) and Rey Mysterio.
During the match, Ramírez took a spinning head scissors from Mysterio that sent him outside of the ring. Ramírez immediately got back in the ring and took a dropkick from Mysterio to setup the 619. The initial cause of death appears to be a snapped vertebrae from how his head landed on the ropes.
Manik was then positioned on the ropes next to Ramírez for a double 619. As seen in the video below, Mysterio went to hit the move and missed Ramírez, who remained on the second rope slumped over. Manik went to check on Ramírez before being taken outside of the ring by Tiger. Mysterio then attended to Ramírez and quickly finished the match, while Konnan tried to revive Ramírez. EMTs attended to Ramírez after the match while Mysterio addressed the crowd.
“When we get into the ring, we give ourselves and our best to our public. A real accident happened,” Mysterio said. “…I ask you with my heart for a prayer that God protect him.”
Ramírez was transported to a nearby hospital and was pronounced dead around 1:00 AM local time.
As El Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Ramírez was the top heel in AAA and the leader of the revolutionary Los Perros del Mal stable. He had recently headlined last Wednesday’s AAA Reyes del Reyes event, where he teamed with Pentagon Jr. against Rey Mysterio Jr & Myzteziz. Myzteziz posted video of the match on his YouTube channel, which is below.
We here at CrazyMax send our sincerest condolences to Ramírez’s family, friends and fans.
