Luchador death
Jan 8th, 2009, 9:47am
 
Former EMLL & AAA wrestler Explosivo was killed in an auto accident over the weekend in the Tabasco area as he was returning from a booking in Cancun. There isn’t any real details on the situation yet but this is a very sad story.

Explosivo was first known an opening match rudo, who occasionally wrestled in Arena Coliseo DF for CMLL. He was a regular from 2001 to 2004, but his bookings appeared to decrease from there with long stretches of absence. In June of 2007, he jumped to AAA to be an opening match wrestler there instead. It doesn't appear he caught on any better there; Explosivo hasn't made television since September of 2007 and wasn't a spot show regular. He wasn't the indy wrestler named Explosion.  
 
Explosivo first made himself known in a rather embarrassing way on May 22, 2001 at Arena Coliseo DF. During a trios match he was on the receiving end of a Springboard Legdrop from Chris Stone who overshot the move and landed on Explosivo's jaw which dislocated on impact. Explosivo proceeded to rip off his own mask and roll to the floor in agony as doctors checked on him.  
 
Sadly he died in the first days of 2009 after a road accident near Cancun.
