Mexican Wrestler Dies From Fatal Injury in the Ring


This wasn't scripted.

Mexican wrestler Pedro Aguayo Ramirez took a fatal blow in the ring that ended his life during a live match last night in Tijuana, Mexico.

He was known as El Hijo Del Perro Aguayo, the son of Pedro "Perro" Agauyo who was a wrestling legend in the country from the 1970s to 1990s.

Aguayo was in a team match-up with Manik against Xtreme Tiger and former WWE wrestling star Oscar Gutierrez, known as Rey Mysterio Jr.

In the video, it appears that Gutierrez, 40, kicks Aguayo in the neck, causing him to fall onto the ropes. Manik hangs on the ropes with his partner and ducks as Gutierrez does his famous 6-1-9 move through the ropes.

Aguayo doesn't move.

He is put on a stretcher and rushed to a hospital a block away where he was pronounced dead early in the morning Saturday, March 21. He died at the age 35.

According to BBC News, the state prosecutor's office has opened an investigation into possible manslaughter.

Jermaine Dupri Claims Ciara's "I Bet" is a Rip Off of Usher's "U Got it Bad"



I mean we've all had it bad at one point… right?

Jermaine Dupri did an interview with Associated Press about the "Blurred Lines" verdict. He commented on the case, saying he was "50/50" about it since he understands both sides. Then he opened up about possibly having the same problem.

"Ciara's new single is a complete rip-off of Usher's 'U Got It Bad.'" Ciara recently came out with a new single called "I Bet." The 42 year-old producer feels the song is too similar to the 2001track that he co produced with Bryan-Micheal Cox. The single was number one on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart.

"I'm clear on what I made and I'm clear on how music influences people and I'm clear on chord changes and how people move things… It might not be as evident as the "Blurred Lines" situation, but I believe the same thing happened to me."

Dupri said he, Usher and Cox immediately noticed similarities between the two songs. He's also saying that the song sounds like Tamia's "Still," which is another song that he has produced. The producer says he will be in touch with Ciara and feels that credit should go where it's due.

Can you hear any similarities? I'll let you be the judge.
