A "Lucha Libre" wrestler dies in a Tijuana hospital early Saturday morning after receiving a deadly kick during a wrestling match.  

Pedro Aguayo Ramirez, also known by his wrestling ring name as Hijo Del Perro Aguayo was knocked unconsciously after receiving an aerial kick by professional wrestling superstar Oscar Gutierrez, also known as Rey Mysterio Jr.

After the delivery of Mysterio's famous signature wrestling move called "The 619"; Aguayo laid unconsciously inside of the wrestling ring until the match concluded.  

The referee and the ring side doctor tended to Aguayo while the match continued on for 2 minutes after he was knocked out. 

Paramedics were abruptly called down to the ring after the match concluded to attempt to resuscitate Aguayo

Mysterio stayed inside of the ring to show respect to his  fallen opponent by leading the crowd with "Perro" chants. 

Aguayo was quickly rushed to a hospital less than one mile away from the stadium where he died around 1:30 a.m. . 

Aguayo, 35, is famous among professional wrestling fans in Mexico, The United States, and Japan. 

Aguayo is the son of the lucha libre legend  Pedro "Perro" Aguayo, who is a member of the Aztec lucha hall of fame. 

The height of Aguayo's wrestling career was when he led a wrestling stable called "Los Perros de Mal." (The Bad Dogs) He held many prestigious championships in Mexico from winning the National Heavyweight Championship to the National Pairs (Tag Team) Championship.  

Rey Mysterio posted a photo on instagram respecting Hijo Del Perro Aguayo and his family:
