I've seen video of the Silver King health and it is frightening. He gives Guerrera a clothesline, goes on all fours to covers, Guerrera kicks out, and Silver King's body just seems to shut down.

@luchablog Silver King in a bad way in London. Motionless after a match with Juvi – CPR in the ring. Show cancelled.

Guerrera and referee Black Terry stall waiting for Silver King to get up. He tries, but he can't really do it. Juventud Guerrera kicked him gently in the side and Silver King just goes OUT. Guerrera struggles turning him over even for the pin.

Sorry to hear about the passing of #SilverKing. I had so many great matches with him when I worked @CMLL_OFICIAL in the early 90s and more importantly he always made me… https://t.co/IKf7YL6Zyg

I am saddened to hear about the passing of Silver King. Like so many of the great Luchadores that helped Americans appreciate Lucha Libre and make Nitro the success it was, he will be missed. Thank you and RIP.
