He was injured during the match, then died afterwards as a result of the in-ring injury. Very tragic.

Here's video leading up to what you posted.



I am guessing that 1 of 3 things happened. Either:
1) the kick to the head was accidentally legit, and it took a few seconds for the injury to take its toll, until he collapses on the ropes (I don't think this was it, there was still spring in his step after this bump)
2) when he flies out of the ring, perhaps he takes a hard bump we don;t see, the has a few seconds of consciousness before collapsing onto the ropes, or
3) he lands into the ropes too hard and does...something...to cause the injury leading to death?

The whole thing seems weird, and I haven't read anymore about it since this morning, so I don't know if more details were released about how it happened, but as of this morning, that was the gist I gathered from what I saw.

Edit: Read the cause of death was "cervical spine trauma", so it must have been a neck-jerking into the ropes type thing. Uncool. And as much as the crowd HATED that Rey missed the 619, it's a damned good thing he did. If he landed that there would probably be no doubt in his mind that he was responsible for killing the guy.

Mysterio used a headscissors takedown to propel Aguayo out of the ring, but Aguayo quickly returned to the ring, upon-which Mysterio dropkicked Aguayo in the back to set up for Mysterio's signature 619 as Aguayo landed throat-first on the middle rope. Manik then fell onto the middle rope to set up a double 619 spot, whiplashing the rope Aguayo was resting on. At this point, Aguayo appeared to be limp. Mysterio performed the 619 and did not hit any opponent. The match continued, but was quickly finished by Mysterio pinning Manik. Konnan attempted to revive Aguayo at ringside. Officials later brought Aguayo out of the ring. When paramedics arrived, Aguayo was brought to the local Del Prado hospital, where he was pronounced dead around 1:00am on March 21.

According to the initial announcement from the hospital, Aguayo died from a cervical spine trauma, reportedly as a result of a dropkick by Mysterio Jr. that propelled him forward and caused the ring ropes to snap his neck. The official cause of death was later announced as cardiac arrest, believed to be caused by the neck injury. At the time of the incident Aguayo was not immediately attended to by a physician and was actually taken from the ring on a piece of plywood instead of a stretcher, which lead to some criticism of the event organizers. The Tijuana wrestling commission later explained that the doctor was backstage, attending to two other injuries that happened during the show. One of those injuries was a spinal injury and they did not want to remove that wrestler from the stretcher he was on, which was why they used the plywood to move Aguayo from the ring. The doctors worked on resuscitating Aguayo for over an hour before declaring him dead. On March 21 the attorney general for Baja California announced that they would conduct an investigation into the death of Aguayo and the circumstances surrounding it to determine if there was the possibility of any criminal charges to be filed.

I highlighted the most important part of the report, which was the incident itself. It's one of those moments where it's just a fluke accident. First off, I think Aguayo took the wrong way into landing on the second rope, which was him already having an arm on the rope, where both arms are supposed to protect you when you land on it so you can safely rest your neck on the rope. He landed neck-first on the rope, and those ropes aren't soft on the inside, especially ropes like those. When Manik hit the rope was even worse, because he hit that rope harder than you should have, which would probably hurt anyone on it, so it aggravated the neck even more, which caused this whole incident. It's just good that Mysterio and Manik tried to end the match as good as they possibly could.

This is the whole risk in Lucha Libre. More high flying and more risky moves will lead to many injuries, and in this unfortunate case, a death. That's the main reason why Lucha Libre hasn't really transcended past Mexico, and professional wrestling has been a mainstay in the United States and Europe. It's very unfortunate that it happened to him, no doubt about that. It's one of the risks of doing Lucha Libre, though.

After watching it (came here to share and noticed it already was posted) I think that Mysterio missed on purpose. Seemed like the other wrestler may have said something to tell him the other guy isn't okay, hence the weirdness of the 619 that seemed blatantly avoided. Very messed up, regardless.

Aguayo was almost a 20 year pro. You can't say he had inexperience

What you misunderstood from Twitter was that Rey fought WITH Aguayo DURING his first match. This was definitely not Aguayo's first match. They just meant that he and Rey had worked together before. Many times.
