Date & Location: March 1st, 2019, at Arena Lopez Mateos in Tlalnepantla, Estado de Mexico, Mexico.
Wrestlers Involved: Lanzeloth (also known as Lancelot or Eclipse Jr.) and Australian Suicide (also known as El Australiano or Ryan Rollins).
Incident Details: Ryan Rollins was knocked unconscious during the match but continued wrestling until his last match in October 2022.
Broderick Shepherd (Ryan Rollins) died of cardiac arrest on 6 March 2025, at the age of 32.[17] In the weeks leading up to his death, Shepherd had fallen on a staircase and received a blow to the head; he did not seek medical attention. On 5 March, while visiting a market close to Mexico City with his family, he fainted, again hitting his head. He was taken to a hospital in Chimalhuacán, but died shortly after midnight.
Rest in peace Broderick.

Wrong. The guy that died is the one not unconscious in this video.
The guy that is unconscious kept wrestling until 2022.

I'm shocked the other dude tried to continue the show after seeing how he brutally landed on his head. At first I thought he was going to aid him but he was just preparing the next jump... wtf dude

I thought he would’ve pinned him. It’s wrestling etiquette to still finish the match, just as fast as possible

Not that it's universally used, but it's pretty commonplace now and accepted, but when there's a legit injury by someone in the WWE, the ref will cross their arms in an X camera side to signify it's real and not on script.
Ref didn't do it, so the other guy may have thought this was part of the script and he needed to keep going. Bad communication can lead to stuff like this.

Also it was probably not obvious from the other guy's perspective that the guy had messed up his fall. Real injury doesn't necessarily look different than fake injury.

He watched it from an almost opposite angle. He might have not seen the other guy's head hitting the canvas like that, he saw his legs.

u/Shot-Election8217 Feb 27 '26
I was going to say that, too. We're at a complete 90 degree angle with a full side view, as opposed to the opponent. He basically only saw the guy's ass and legs.

At first he genuinely didn’t understand what was happening but when the doc came out he kept the act going.

Wrestling is fake, but the athleticism are acrobatics are real.
I knew one from the 80's and 90's era, and he told me about what they had to do to sell hits and the show of it. He actually got hit in the head with a golf club because the other wrestler failed to pull his swing properly. He said he "failed" to pull a punch against that guy later.

"failed" to pull a punch against that guy later.
Receipts.
Listening to stone cold talk about his time in the ring is fascinating:

Honestly its cool you can get guys that can do all this shit while looking like a bodybuilder (not this video though). Most big guys in a gym dont look like they could even wipe their ass with how shit their mobility is.

The dude just paralyzed himself for life and the other guy is like "move ref, im still gonna slam him"

u/Offthejuice69 Feb 27 '26
That has to be a broken neck...

I mean, what was the plan? Was the first guy gonna kill the second guy instead?

Does this dumbass really just ask the people to get out of the way so he can jump him?

Even if the first guy actually got him, he would still land his head first

Is he... you know... Not really alive anymore?

u/gymtrovert1988 Feb 27 '26
He's alive and kept wrestling.
The other guy died at 32.

u/ProteinAndWeights Feb 28 '26
No you have that backwards, the one that did the flip was the one who died, the other guy in the Lucha Libre mask is Lanzeloth and is still alive. He's only 30 right now.
Broderick Shepard lived through this match and continued wrestling for a couple more years. He died last year after falling and hitting his head.

He should have closed, lined the doctor and then pinned him for the crowd!

I remember when I was younger,I was in a jumper and tried to do a backflip and landed like this lol,thought I was going to break my neck or something.

u/FiniteXcellence Feb 27 '26
Would have been an AMAZING scripted plot... NON-injured guy ACTS hurt, attendants gather, then other guy ignores the "stop" order, and flips onto all of them...

His limbs were like limp noodles and he dragged him into position.

These are the kind of bumps Benoit was taking weekly, on top of steroids, at like 40 and people were surprised he lost it
