RIDDUM_N_STYLE Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Sad news just confirmed in the last 10 minutes from Luchablog on Twitter that former WCW Cruiserweight Silver King has passed away aged 51 after collapsing during a Lucha show in Camden earlier tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dart Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Just watched the video. Then read a minute later he died. Really shocking to watch and worse knowing that. I was going to the show but made a fairly last minute decision not to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators PowerButchi Posted May 11, 2019 Moderators Share Posted May 11, 2019 Los Fabulosos were the greatest team to never get a real run. What happened? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dart Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Looks like he had a heart attack in the middle of his match with Juventud Guerrera. They managed to turn him over and pin him though. Horrible to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yakashi Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Can imagine poor Juvi will be bombarded by twitter cunts calling him a murderer like Rey was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultimo the great Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Heard he had a stroke or heart attack. there were no paramedics at the show and they took 20 minutes to get there. The other wrestlers tried CPR. The video of the end of the match is grim ☹️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewdogg Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 How do these shows get insurance without having suitable medical cover available? Interest got the better of me so I looked for a video and it’s obvious that the wrestler was not well, the referee and opponent are about as much use as a chocolate teapot.

bigfoote Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Seen the footage, and two things stand out. One: What was the ref doing? King didn't get up after the near fall, clearly not in a good way and the ref does nothing to check on his condition. Then when Juve shoots the half for a pin and can't roll him, why then did the ref not throw an X? Can't comment on the provision of medical teams, I assume that someone was there due to public liability insurance reasons. Either way, it's tragic and I hope Juve doesn't get blasted.

Great Bear Promotions Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 I’m not sure what having public liability insurance has to do with anything which would be totally unrelated. It’s the great Britwres fall back. Really sad news to hear though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted May 12, 2019 Awards Moderator Share Posted May 12, 2019 The story has made the top of the Guardian homepage this morning. Must have been awful for anyone in attendance to see, and for his fellow performers. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted May 12, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted May 12, 2019 Christ, the footage is horrible to watch. And the ref and Juvi dont cover themselves in glory at all. The referee especially is just standing there like a cunt. What a horrible situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abe_Knuckleball_Schwartz Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Absolutely horrendous to see. Cannot uderstand why the referee did nothing, even if the company or that referee is not familar with the "X" - common sense should have told him something was wrong, the kick from Juvi was also unnecessary.
