Silver King tragically passed away after collapsing during match. He was only 51-years-old.

The professional wrestling world is reacting in droves as many remember him and were privileged enough to work with Silver King in the ring.

Although a cause of death is not known at this time, PW Insider reports that Silver King is believed to have suffered a heart attack.

F4WOnline also reports “according to those in the arena, the rest of the show was cancelled.” Therefore Silver King vs Juventud Guerrera was not the main event of the London Lucha Libre World event.

After Silver King would not get up after a two count, Guerrera and the referee talked for a moment and then Guerrera kicked Silver King in the collarbone and pinned him to end the match. At that time wrestlers and emergency staff hit the ring to assist Silver King.

Out thoughts are with anyone dealing with this tragically sad situation whether they were Silver King’s family, friends, or fans.

I love pro wrestling and hate BS. These two things drive me. Years of experience in writing, journalism, and digging exclusive insider info for Ringside News. Worked in finance before realizing pro wrestling journalism made much less sense. Pro beachballs at pro wrestling shows, pro dives if someone catches, anti bullies, olives, and pineapples on pizza.
