Mario Nawfal(@MarioNawfal):🇲🇽 A 75-year-old wrestling referee in Mexico is dead after a wrestler hit him with a piledriver in the middle of a match. Gerardo Germán Pineda, known as "El Búho," had been refereeing for nearly 30 years. After the move, he lay there for minutes while people thought he was just playing along, and there wasn't a single medic or ambulance at the show, even though local rules require one. The wrestler, 36-year-old Hijo de Fishman, was arrested on the spot and could be facing manslaughter charges and up to 15 years behind bars.
