Maybe Humberto Carrillo can’t read. Or maybe he’s just a moron.

But the first rule in battle royals is simple: Never go to the top rope. But the luchador didn’t just go to the top rope during the kickoff show match. He grabbed Angel Garza’s hand and raced up to do an armdrag off the top, which was bad enough. But then he started jumping between the top and middle ropes, showing off his agility… only for Garza to shove his dopey cousin to the floor.

Seriously, stuff like that just makes wrestlers like Humberto look exceptionally stupid. It isn’t like his big power move involved going to the top rope like that or he was forced up there. He willingly jumped up there and started bouncing around while holding another wrestler at arm’s length.

Watching that, all you could think was, “Man, Carrillo is stupid.”
