This is terrible.
Thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.
Former WCW wrestler Silver King, who also starred in the 2006 comedy “Nacho Libre” with Jack Black, died Saturday night in the ring … and a kick may have triggered the coronary.
Silver King was playing his tried-and-true role of villain in London at the Roundhouse when he suffered a heart attack, collapsing and dying. Authorities say he died at the venue.
In the video, you see him get knocked down 3 times, kind of writhing on the ground look somewhat dazed. It doesn’t really look odd — just doing what wrestlers do when they choreograph matches. But, then he takes a kick to the chest, and that drops him to the ground. His face is planted into the mat and he never gets up.
It looks like Silver King was supposed to win the match, because the ref didn’t count him out, holding on the second count. His opponent turned Silver King over, making it appear he’s pinning him to end the match, but Silver King is unresponsive. The ref ends the match, but Silver King doesn’t move.
Warning if you want to watch the video flip the page it is very disturbing.
