Wrestler Silver King dies during Camden Roundhouse bout.

Cesar Barron, known as Silver King, was a star in his native Mexico and appeared alongside the comic actor Jack Black in the 2005 film Nacho Libre.

The 51-year-old was performing at the Roundhouse in Camden when he reportedly fell to the canvas.

A fellow Mexican wrestler paid tribute to his "great rival", saying: "He went as he wanted: fighting!"

El Hijo del Santo, aka Jorge Rodriguez, tweeted his "deep regret" at the death of his "partner in so many battles".



Barron had been in the middle of a match at the Greatest Show of Lucha Libre event on Saturday. Reports in Mexican media suggest he may have suffered a heart attack.

Roberto Carrera Maldonado, who attended the fight, said it initially looked like his collapse was part of the show.

"It felt like it was staged," he told the BBC. "Obviously it was quite normal in the fight."

But the wrestler stayed on the floor despite the referee's efforts to revive him. Footage posted online shows the referee and several other men coming to his aid after he collapsed.

"All of us were really shocked - it wasn't clear what was happening," Mr Carrera said. "I had the impression they didn't know what to do."

Mr Carrera said another fighter was pressing Barron's chest, and added that it seemed to be a long time after the wrestler collapsed before paramedics arrived.

The show was initially paused, but a loudspeaker announcement later asked the audience to leave.

The Roundhouse confirmed there had been an "incident" during the show but said it was unable to comment further.

It later tweeted its condolences, saying: "Last night Silver King sadly lost his life during an event at the Roundhouse.

"At this stage the details are still being investigated so we don't have more information we can share."

AEW and NXT head to head last night for the first time.

Both shows sounded really good. NXT seemed to go for it. Hopefully they push each other now and force each other to be better.

Ah sorry about the November list, it was up on the booking site under November 2022.



AEW might be worth considering though. Their live shows seem to have been getting better and better by all accounts and they are meant to do a lot of cool dark matches after the shows and lengthy appearances from folk to talk to the crowds after shows.
