Chinanews Client Beijing, October 23 (Xing Rui) In the San Juan Pantitlan Arena on the outskirts of Mexico City, the audience is asking Luis Angel Salazar to stand up and continue performing.
Everything that happens on this ring must be carried out in accordance with the script prepared in advance.
After being hit twice in the chest, Salazar fell to the ground. Everyone felt that this was part of the performance.
The opponent's third wrestler even jumped into the ring and kicked at Salazar.
Regrettably, Salazar never woke up again.
This is how the 26-year-old young man left the world in the ring.
This tragedy occurred in a wrestling match on October 17th local time.
Salazar's mother and girlfriend witnessed what happened in the audience.
When people realized that Salazar was abnormal, he was quickly taken to the hospital.
But in the end Salazar lost his life because of a ruptured brain aneurysm.
Professional wrestling is a very popular sport in Mexico. It has both fist and fist on the fighting platform and a series of ups and downs.
Contestants usually wear all kinds of masks and colorful outfits to perform pre-designed scenarios in the arena.
The mask represents the identity of the wrestlers in the ring, and is also the honor and dignity that they defend throughout their lives.
Wrestlers will not easily take it off in front of others.
Some famous Mexican wrestlers will not disclose their true names to the outside world even until they die, and they will enter the soil with their masks for safety.
Without this accident, Salazar will likely continue to be active in the wrestling world as Principe Areo.
The name is translated as "Prince in the Sky".
His mask is a yellow and black headgear, inspired by the tiger, the king of beasts.

Unlike the highly aggressive character in the ring, Salazar in real life is a gentle person.
According to his friends, Salazar does not smoke or drink, has no bad habits, and is a "clean" person.
In the eyes of the family, Salazar is also filial.
Some time before the tragedy, Salazar posted a video of his grandma cooking on social media. In the video, he said: "Grandma, I love you." In just 5 words, it became Salazar to his family. The final confession.
It is worth mentioning that no one in Salazar's family has practiced wrestling.
He was born in an economically not affluent community. Since elementary school, Salazar has developed a keen interest in wrestling.
He agreed with his mother: "I will do something different." After a period of training, he began to participate in amateur competitions.
Five years ago, Salazar officially became a professional player.
After entering 2020, the new crown pneumonia epidemic has hit the Mexican wrestling community, and many wrestlers have lost their jobs in the epidemic.
For Salazar, this year has also been particularly difficult.
Before his death, he was still studying accounting in a school, and he urgently needed to earn tuition through wrestling competitions.

We don't know how much Salazar can make in a game.
But from previous interviews, we can also find that his life is not rich.
This young man only traveled by air for the first time in a while: "This is my dream when I was a child. I have wanted to fly in the sky since I was a child. This year I have realized my dream.
In Salazar's heart, it was the wrestling event that gave him the opportunity to realize his dream.
He also loves this dangerous sport from the heart, even if he does not hesitate to sacrifice his life for it.
Salazar's death caused a shock in the wrestling world.
Many well-known wrestlers posted on social media to mourn the young man.
The host of the competition wrote: "When we stand in the ring, we always risk our lives. It is like tossing a coin in the air to determine our own destiny."
In fact, there are not a few wrestlers like Salazar who have lost their lives in the ring.
Although the wrestling project has a well-designed plot, it is more like a violent aesthetic drama on the ring.
Strikes, throws, high flying, locks, etc. are all common techniques in wrestling. A little carelessness can turn a brilliant performance into a terrifying death.
If it weren't for true love, no one would risk their lives to stand on a fighting platform full of unknowns.
We can't comment on Salazar's choice, but he has worked hard for the career he likes at least in his life.
The Sri Lankan has passed away, and I hope there will be his favorite wrestling in heaven.
