A very unfortunate incident occurred last month during a Lucha Memes and Lucha Libre Boom event on +LuchaTV. Wrestlers Demonio and El Cuervo de Puerto Rico competed in a match at “Rumores Blasfoemos.” During the bout, Demonio tossed a concrete block outside of the ring at Cuervo, hitting him in the head. Cuervo was knocked unconscious for a brief period of time before waking back up.
It appears that Demonio tossing the concrete block was a receipt for some hard chair shots from Cuervo earlier in the match. Cuervo required brain surgery to remove a blood clot as a result of the incident. As for Demonio, he was indefinitely suspended by Mexico’s Boxing and Wrestling Commission. Earlier this week it was announced that Cuervo had finally been released from the hospital after his brain surgery.
Demonio, on the other hand, seems to be reaping the rewards of Cuervo’s injuries. He has recently been promoted by The Lucha Juarez promotion in Mexico as a top star, and they’re even using the cinder block used on Cuervo as a big selling point. Since the incident, Demonio has seen a rise in bookings under the name “The Brick Thrower.”
Despite his newfound fame, Demonio released the following statement regarding the incident with Cuervo:
“I feel very bad for the guy, I am devastated as a person and dismayed for Cuervo, for me it has been very difficult these days, I just ask that it (surgery) goes well”
