Killswitch, also known as Luchasaurus, was hospitalized last week after contracting pneumonia in both lungs. Bryan Alvarez of F4WOnline.com provided an update on Killswitch’s condition during Wrestling Observer Live:

“I don’t want to say it’s a career-ending issue, but it could be a career-ending issue. He’s not back in the gym and he will not be back in the gym for a while and he’s not going to be back wrestling, probably, for a while. Hopefully, he will be back wrestling in a while.

Apparently, there were complications. He ends up getting this flu and bad oxygen uptake as a result of whatever else, turned into pneumonia. And apparently he’s at high risk for a relapse, is what I was told. The big concern is that after all of this, they’ve been running test after test, and apparently there may be permanent damage.

They found calcification in a heart valve and his body is not producing iron and so he’s got a whole bunch of tests that he apparently has to take. It’s bad. It’s bad enough that he’s out of the hospital, apparently, but he still has to do oxygen.”
