A Mexican wrestler died Saturday after receiving a flying kick during a match in Tijuana.

Pedro Aguayo Ramirez, 35, was unconscious after suffering a kick from fellow wrestler Oscar Gutierrez.

The match continued for almost two minutes before others found out that he was seriously injured.

He was taken to the hospital and died there.

Aguayo began his wrestling career at the age of 15 and was the son of the legendary Pedro "Perro" Aguayo, now retired and a member of the Aztec lucha hall of fame. Endi
