Silver King – Questions After Death of Nacho Libre Star Luchador

Silver King played Ramses in the movie Nacho Libre with Jack Black and wowed fans for years as a luchador in Mexico. 

And sadly, he was another in a long line of deaths that occurred in the ring.

The aftermath of his tragic passing leaves some critical questions needing to be answered.

Silver King once said, "There are wrestlers that have died in the ring. And if you ask them while they’re alive if they would give their life in the ring,

...they would say absolutely they would —and I agree with them, although that’s not what wrestling is about.

It’s about entertaining the people, providing some variety in their lives, some emotion and always quality."
