Negro, who had also wrestled for both WWE and TNA, was battling drug issues at the time and in the middle of the night, he had a mental breakdown on a bus in Mexico, forcing it to stop in the middle of the desert.

The 37-year-old exited and was later found dead, drowned in a stream. 

On this week’s show, we delve into the life and strange death of Abismo Negro from the pages of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.
