Every Wrestling DEATH Ranked By Stupidity
12. Vibora Is Decapitated (Lucha Underground)
This sounds like the answer to a nuanced wrestling brainiac quiz question.
Pop quiz: Which AEW star had his head lopped off with a sword by a current peer who's best known these days for wrestling on ROH? The answer is, naturally, Luchasaurus. He was known as Vibora back when Taya Valkyrie decapitated him with a massive blade on the 1 August 2018 edition of Lucha Underground. It was certainly a time to be alive, people.
Vibora had just defeated Taya's main squeeze Johnny Mundo (John Morrison/Johnny TV/Johnny Impact etc etc) mere weeks before his beheading happened. Apparently, beating her man fair and square in a wrestling match was too much of an insult for Valkyrie to take. Thus, she picked up Drew McIntyre's sword (not really) and cut the head off the snake.
Luchasau...erm...Vibora was never seen again. His next gig was signing on as part of Tony Khan's AEW revolution then forming an unlikely duo with Jungle Boy before he then went all edgy and moody as Jack Perry. Perhaps Jungle found out what had occurred over in LU - that's enough to make anybody sock Khan in the stomach for failing to launch All Elite Wrestling before Vibora's head was sliced off.
If you've never had the pleasure of seeing what a slightly slim-lined Luchasaurus was like in Underground, then try to find some of his stuff online. The big guy has always been able to shift, but he was bouncing around the place like a pinball at times pre-AEW. It was really rather impressive. Some of the spots he implemented made it seem like he was off his head.
Oops.
