Just over two years ago, on November 19, 2018, one of Puerto Rico’s rising young stars, El Cuervo de Puerto Rico<\/strong>, nearly lost his life and his career. During a match in Mexico against Angel O Demonio<\/strong>, things took a turn for the worst. Angel, upset at some of the stiff chair shots from El Cuervo, took “justice” into his own hands with sickening returns – he grabbed a nearby cinder block and smashed it on El Cuervo’s head<\/a>. El Cuervo de Puerto Rico had to have emergency surgery to remove a blood clot in his brain and doctors said it would take at least a full year for a full recovery<\/a>. But though he would return to health, his wrestling career was still in doubt. Until this time last year. On December 14, 2019, he made his return to the ring<\/a> for Championship\u00a0Wrestling\u00a0Association (CWA)\u00a0<\/strong>in Puerto Rico, where he won the CWA Heavyweight Championship. But almost as soon as he’d made his return, the Covid pandemic hit and he was once again shelved as independent wrestling in Puerto Rico shut down. El Cuervo would make his 2020 return to the ring last month, when he traveled to Texas to face Black Taurus<\/strong> at Loko Wrestling<\/strong>‘s Loko Desmadre<\/strong><\/em> show on November 19.<\/p>\n
