  • Wish Manny would've did that to Invader 1 instead.

  • Well, at least he's a masked wrestler, so he can be replaced without too many people noticing...

    But seriously, how could this possibly be real, folks...as if Manny wouldn't have been charged with attempted murder or just straight up stabbed in the locker room...

  • he didnt kill invader 3 this was a accident invader 3 came back after that accident manny el toro have to keep hitting invader till somebody come from the camerins because its look real that way its part of the job and fuck all the people think my english sucks lol

    !!!

  • Raging Bull Manny Fernandez was,on top of it,a filthy rapist and a dirtbag because he raped a woman while working in a wrestling school of Northern California years ago and was fired afterwards(El Toro Salvaje Manny Fernandez,era,encima,un violador asqueroso y un sucio porque violo a una mujer mientras trabajaba en una escuela de lucha libre del Norte de California hace anos atras y fue despedido mas tarde).

  • idk...i seen this a few times around the net and the thing that gets to me is the amount of blood that comes out...i want to think its fake but idk..also many reaction makes me think its fake..if it was real he wouldve had stoped..

  • It appears to be a work because while a large amount of 'blood' appears, there is no pumping action - therefore, he had a blood pack in his mouth. Further, the referee does not cross his arms/wrist which is the signal for an unplanned injury. Also you have to wonder why Manny continued to wrestle in Puerto Rico when its biggest promoter was supposedly ''killed'' in this clip. Lastly, why didn't the wrestlers kill Manny later on when they had so much time to do so?

  • @1400deadwood  Have anything to do with Bruiser Brodys death perhaps??

  • @MadisonCutlass44057 - it's a work.

  • To the people that are saying this is fake: NO IT'S NOT!

    Manny lives in the same town as me and one day me and my friend were at the bar and we asked him for an autograph and yes he really did kill this guy! He tells everyone the story about it.

  • @caseykk01 LOL Fernandez tells a lot of wild stories. He's known for it. Also, this man did not die. Just took a few months off from wrestling and wrestled Fernandez in a "street fight" at a big show for revenge when he returned. They used this angle to set up a main event feud with the Ragin Bull vs Invader I.

  • and to think this was real. people thought it was faked

  • @toddodias It is faked. Why do you think he lays there and lts him keep doing it to him and no one helps? And then Manny's "punishment" was a run with the NA title and a main event feud with booker Invader I?

  • Work

  • drinking pigs blood daamn...i wouldnt do that

  • Invader 3 is not dead after 3 drops to his sturn em but his bother invader1 was stabbed n the heart

  • First off it was REAL,And that no good dirty son of a bitch, nonwrestling fucking

    Manny Fucking Furnandez Should have seen the obvious and stoped on his own

    I have a son thats a independent Wrestler

    he wrestles 3 different states and for 4 different promotors so I know the sport

    being a "prowrestler" is a very Fucked up life

  • @hottwire76 Yes, pro wrestling is fucked up in several ways, but this is a work. like you said, if it was real, Manny would have obviously stopped. And if he wouldn't, he would have been arrested and/or fired, notbrought back to run a main event program based on Invader I getting revenge for this.

  • Years ago i had the pleasure of meeting Hugo Savinovich (he's one of the commentators heard on here). One of the questions I asked him was about this and he told me it wasn't part of the show. Thinking about it - no block packet can produce that much blood...

  • @efraineer He's working you.

  • By the way Alien we are a very good and beautiful looking family not that you would ever know (thank god again). Beautiful inside and out!!

  • WOW!! Alien you could have made a comment just on the wrestling not on the people who made comments. You don't know us (thank god) or know what we look like not that it matters. I feel sorry for you...I bet you are such a ugly person inside and out. I will pray for you. Also learn how to spell before you comment. I feel sorry for the people in your life. Don't comment at all because we don't care to hear what you have to say!! Anger will kill you!!

  • By the way...It was chicken blood because if his sturnem was busted,The FIRST fucking thing you'd want to do is roll the fucker over so he do't freakin choke on his blood.Good gag reflexes.Remember,In order to be a ref,you need to be trained in first aid course"S.not just basic.Even back then they had a Pharamedic"s crew Always on stand by back stage.SURE I belive your both related.Why shouldn't we right?Fuck you pathological Lying Sack"s of Shit n good day!

  • I AM ALSO INVADER #3's Niece...Ya,sure,love the names(621ortiz-and MSfonebone.We trust that your not lying.ortiz is probebly a dude and fone bone is probebly some Fat Hog Sittin on here computer while her hubby goes off to work all day.Hay Lady...?

    I just wanted you to know.Your a LOOSER

  • I am also Invader 3's niece and to all those ignorant "IDIOTS" that don't know what they are talking about, "this was very much REAL". So get your facts straight before you comment!!!!!!! Tio Johnny we love you!!!!!!!!!!

  • I just want people to know that the invader #3 is my uncle. It was real it wasn't fake he was really hurt and as we watch this match back in the days the family was worried about my uncle. Belive me when I tell you that growing up and seeing my uncle get hurt at time wasn't easy, but we loved seeing him in this sport and we all love him very much. Go tio johnny

  • @MsFonebone

    Just like you said. I am also Invader 3's niece and to these IDIOTS that don't know what they talking about, this that you see here was very real. So get your facts right before you comment!!!!

  • ok tell me this was your uncle invader1 really stabbed in the heart after killing bruiser brody

  • @MsFonebone BS. WHy didn't he roll out of the way? Why didn't Manny stop? Why is no one helping him? Why did this immediately set up main event matches with Manny vs Invader I? Why did Manny get no retribution (other than a main event program and a couple more years of steady work with this promotion)?

  • @mamacornettesmoney He left to work for Crockett.

  • @yardlet6 No, this is after he left Crockett. He was put into a main event feud with Invader I after this. Had a run as North American champ and even had a rematch with Invader III at the big Anniversary show a few months later.

  • i know manny personally and i am also in the biz trust me its not a work

  • I had heard of this but had never seen. I just wish it was done to Invader I. And just in case, I'm from Puerto Rico.

  • Here is the thing, if they were shoot knees, then the ref would have done more than just sat there and begged him not to do it. And even if he didn't Invader would have just gone out of the ring.

  • work

  • i am from puerto ricco and i do know invader 3,he is a boxing coach now,i just did not new about this video,so i am going to ask him now about this video,to see what he says, maybe a crazy story i wannna see

  • so tell us...what did he say?

  • this is so fake

  • wats Invader #3's real name?

  • Johnny Rivera

  • i think this video is fake!!!

  • dude its not in my home in puerto rico the put it on the news

  • He broke the guys sternum, it was legit

  • I can't believe so many think this is a real injury! It looks really cool, but did anyone think about why he lays in the middle of the ring allowing Manny to do it over and over? Or why the ref didn't try to get some help in quicker? Or why Manny wrestled for the promotion after this?

  • it is a known reciept for the brody stabbing..

  • No it's not. That was the storyline. Just look at it and think about it.

    How is Manny able to hit the guy in the same spot so many times without the guy moving or someone else(the ref?)grabbing Manny? Why did Manny enter a feud with Invader I, instead of being arrested? Why is it being reshown on this tape (that is not the original commentary) and they are calling it like a wrestling match, instead of a known homocide attempt? Why did Manny work the promotion for 2 more years?

  • Another question: Why did Invader 3 have a rematch with Manny for revenge? Isn't it strange that a guy tries to kill you and you challenge him to a rematch?

    If you don't believe look for it on Youtube. The rematch is on Youtube.

  • how do you fake that?

  • Comment removed

  • Was he a psychic? Because this happened before Brody was murdered.

  • wtf this was after bruiser body death??

  • @comicfreak11 No, this was several months before Bruiser's death.

  • wow strange wht was bull trying to accomplish then

  • @comicfreak11 Setting up his feud with Invader I

  • @mamacornettesmoney wtf IS A feud SIROUSLY I DONT KNOW WHT THT MEANS

    O_0

  • You do realize that invader I stabbed Brody and killed him, but wasn't arrested, and continued to work there for years after as well, right?

  • "You do realize that invader I stabbed Brody and killed him, but wasn't arrested, and continued to work there for years after as well, right?"

    Of course I do (he was arrested, but acquitted at trial).

    Do YOU realize that Invader 1 was the booker who booked this match? Di you know he booked himself in a feud with Manny for "revenge", gave Manny the tag titles & top singles title, booked a rematch between Invader II & Manny & booked Manny in the promotion for the next 2 years?

  • Yeah, and Invader also took a bloody knife around with him to put himself over and booked many death storylines. He used the same story he was using until his retirement, so? I don't get your point. He kept a man around after he destroyed him, but he was kept around after he killed someone. I wouldn't be surprised if he told Manny to stiff him just to sell tickets. But we will never know. BUT, HOW DO YOU FAKE THAT?? Honestly! He spat more blood in the air than anyone drinks in a day!

  • He was running the show. Of course he kept himself.

    And why on earth do you think Invader III layed there and let Manny jump on him so many times. that is ludicrous.

    As for your question, pigs blood and vodka has always been the answer.

  • Wasn't Carlos Colon running it during the stabbing?

    As for staying there, like I said, perhaps Invader 1 told him to take an ass whopping for the sake of the storyline, and they went too far.

    Pig's blood and vodka? please elaborate

  • "Wasn't Carlos Colon running it during the stabbing?"

    I believe they both were, but Gonzales was apparently running the wretling end of things. "As for staying there, like I said, perhaps Invader 1 told him to take an ass whopping for the sake of the storyline, and they went too far."

    If they knew it was going to happen ahead of time, it wasn't a shoot or revenge. It was business. And after the first one, he should have rolled away before being killed (which he wasn't, somehow).

  • "Pig's blood and vodka? please elaborate"

    The most commonly accepted story is that he chugged a mixtue of pig's blood and vodka, then made himself projectile vomit.

    It wasn't a shoot though. Manny wasn't even arrested. Even Gonzales who was a local star was arreasted and face a murder trial (though it was a farce of one) when he killed Brody in (alleged) "self-defense".

    How could a foreigner try to kill a local and not only walk away, but be promoted by them for the next 2 years?

  • Ian rotten wasn't arrested for Mike Leevy. New Jack wasn't arrested for all the stupid shit he did. Brody wasn't arrested from all the shoots he did on dudes. There was an infamous display of lack of professionalism in japan after being knocked out. He ran around being dudes up yelling "no one potatoes me!"

    It was obviosly set up as a storyline. Stop going back to that as a basis to everything i.e. "try to kill". The only action in despute is the "vomitting" or excusion of blood.

  • None of those things happened in Puerto rico (and YES New Jack was wanted by police when he stabbed the guy).

    You can't compare PR to other places. And agian, look at what the video portrays. this is worse than any "shoot" Brody supposedly pulled off. The guy is gushing blood and gets jumped on 2 more times (and neither he nor anyone else tries to avoid it). It's a classic wrestling work.

  • If it was indeed pig's blood, nicely executed.

  • Yeah, but this is not Invader I, this is Invader III, and III was not even in the business at the time of Brody's murder

  • Yeah, I looked into it further, and turns out, this took place months before Brody was murdered. III was injured in a match and they wrote this angle to explain him being missing for a few months.

    The rumor of this being "revenge" for Brody's murder seems to have come from Manny himself (those wrestlers . . . always "working"!)

    Most wrestlers have recollections of their careers that are a mix of fantasy and blurry memory, but Manny really comes up with some whoppers.

  • invader 3 was in the business since late 70's under his real name johnny rivera, and i tell u from a good source invader 3 drank chicken blood to make this look as good as it is! jerks!

  • @mamacornettesmoney

    You get up after having your ribs crushed and a lung collapsed.. Then get back to us.

  • @Thumper17 LOL He didn't have to get up. Only out of the way. And the ref and others were there to help him do that. Instead, he laid in the same spot with no help and allowed Ferandez to do the same thing to him 2 more times. Then Manny is punished by going directly into a main event feud with Invader I. LOL

  • @mamacornettesmoney

    Well rolling onto a shattered rib hurts worse. You have no idea what your talking about.

  • @Thumper17 He IS rolling on his ribs. Did you even watch it? He's rolling all over the place, only to stay in position for another knee drop. And again. He's sitting up, laying down, and rolling on both sides. Plus the ref and others ringside are letting it go on. This is clearly a work.

  • manny says its a shoot

  • Manny says a lot of things.

  • I am Puerto Rican and I lived personally that moment. Invader III was born in my town. Those hits break some internal orgasms and he tried to comback ti the ring. But he never was the Invader III of the old times. the invader who kills Bruiser Brody was Invader # 1, not the invader on this video, this is a different person and its necesary to estipulate the diference between they. Actually Many Fernandez and Invader III dont have personal hardfeelings or bad feith.

  • Internal orgasms.

    Puerto Rico rules.

  • "some internal orgasms"

    He was turned on by this!?

  • oops i mean vodka and pigs blood

  • I read somewhere that he drank a bottle of vodka and tomato juice brfore the match then made himself throwup

  • Great work, but still a work.

  • I think this was worked. If it had been real, police or event security and other guys would have rushed the ring right away to restrain Fernandez. The ref wouldn't have just stood out of the way giving the "throwing out the match" signal.

    As gruesome as this was, it was an effective way to take some heat off the feelings about the Brody murder.

  • He actually died.

  • no he didnt

  • He did. That's why he is not alive anymore you dumnass

  • dude he's not fuckin dead his broken rib tore open a lung and he retired shortly after that i believe

  • Yo momma so fat she goes to a resturant, looks at the menu and says "okay!"

  • LOL FUNNY JOKE AMIRITE

    No. Go away wweversustna. No one likes you, you immature little brat.

  • you fucked up black smelly curry eating piece of shit. Then again you probably do look like shit

  • Pig's blood.

    He wrestled after that. It was done to fuel the feud with Fernández and the #2 guy in WWC (behind Carlos Colón obviously) the Sensational Invader #1.

    Scripted and well executed.

  • there are al lot of real wrestling injuries out there, this is not one of them. completely storyline. wrestling is fake. but mistakes happen and guys get hurt bad. this guy is fine, hes acting

  • Yes, he's definitely acting.

    Notice how he stays right where he is and conveniently lays down flat to take more flying kneedrops, even though he's shooting blood.

    If you know you're getting attacked for real, you fight back or struggle to get out of the way, even if you have no chance of getting out of there.

  • Hey Neo718, this was in fact a shoot injury. Manny Fernandez, being close friends with Bruiser Brody, used this as a 'receipt' for Brody being stabbed to death in PR over a booking arguement by Invader #1. Someone in the arena had to have seen the attack or know something. And the fact that no one said anything at the trial and that fact that Invader #1 was aquitted is why that happened.

  • Hey Dork,

    This is 100% work. Invader 3 wrestled many times after this.

    Newsflash for you: Wrestling is fake. This was one of the best booked angles in the history of the sport.

  • What do you think he was spitting you pitifull? Ketchup? Nah ot was not those blood caplets they use sometimes, this was a real injury. If it would have been a fake injury, he would have not spitted this much blood. This is not CZW here. Its way before CZW ever existed. So stop saying that it was a work.

    It was also well documented that Invader III was never the same in the ring after that.

  • LOL!!! Dude.. its been WELL documented by most poeple IN the business FOR YEARS that its a WORK. Vodka + Pigs blood.. and BAMM instant puking blood effect...

  • this is 100 percent FAKE... if not they would have had something on this on wikipedia... This is just some stupid video from you wrestling dorks who love wrestling so much you guys are stuck in some fantasy world where wrestling is 100% real

  • this was not fake..it was in my home town cataño Puerto Rico a wednesday night where they do the recordings for saturday and sundays.

  • did he REAL DIE?

  • no he did not die, he returned to action a few months later...but it certanly looks disgusting

  • True i agree it looks SICK!

  • blame it on my mamma- im a thug!

    i remember hogan and Heenan, supposedly

    enemies share a cup of java at the Cow Palace in

    San Franspycho

  • Please, El no esta muerto so change the tittle. He is a good man

  • you can call this fake. but it took invader 3 3 years to recover and has never been the same since. he didn;t return to wrestling and still has problems. u can call this face. but if u see the actually video with good quality of how hard he comes down. it looks damn real. he wanted him to die. and the police did get invloved. u can see the video and read the whole back story on (wrestling gone wrong) DOT COM under the independents. its called the manny frenadez recpit.

  • he broke two ribs penetrating his lungs causing them to fill up with blood. this was mannys revenge being very good friends with the brusier.

  • if this was real there would have been police involvement. there was none, it was a work. end of debate.

  • invader 3 drank lots of vodka and pigs blood b4 the match . and puked out. is an oldschool work man.

  • the problem is, fernandez was such a bad worker, you can blatently see he doesn't touch him

  • This was a shoot stemming from the Bruise Brody death.

  • fat ass sucker u mother fucker: uin all thoose pressing catch batlles they dont hit eachother but thas mother fucker hit that poor guy.mother fucker.....

  • I just wish it was invader 1 who have gotten hurt.He killed probably the greatest wrestler who never won the world title.That man is Brusier Brody.Just remember one thing:If the world was a human being,Puerto Rico would be the asshole.

  • what a fuckin idiot "yer he looks fine, ill keep doin it" the stupid thick cunt

  • good shit

  • Dannymac's correct. This was a spot with the intention of showing American wrestlers that another American wrestler had taken justice in his own hands to alleviate the tension after Bruiser Brody's murder. After Brody's murder and due to the resulting American wrestlers' boycott, WWC went on a prolonged slump and was never the same. Bruiser was a wrestling God and WWC was the greatest wrestling organization ever. Both died the same night...

  • This actually is on a site called Wrestling Gone Wrong that tells the full story. He really was trying to kill him, but failed to. Invader III is alive but lives in pretty much constant pain. The reason for so much blood is due to his lung being punctured by one of his ribs.

    This was not a spot, trust me.

  • You're full of shit. The truth of what happened is that invader 3 drank pigs blood mixed with vodka right before the match and puked on purpose. This wasn't real you morons. Invader 3 was a notorious soak so this act was easy for him. I shake my head everytime I hear some bullshit story like the one you just told. You're so far off it aint even funny. You should really stop commenting.

  • no. you are the one who is wrong. your story is bullshit and you are full of shit. fucking marks, you think you know it all. maybe you should stop commenting about things you know nothing about. where you there? did you know any of these guys? no. my father knew manny when he worked in the states so please stop.

  • LMAO, you can't teach an idiot anything. I'm not going to respond to you.

  • Actually, this was an angle for TV, that lead to a match between Manny and Invader #1 a week later. Invader #3 (Johnny Rivera) needed some time off from WWC for touring in the U.S. and to heal some ongoing injuries.

    amd Reguarding Invader#3 being in pain, it's true, but it's because of some injuries. He does some spot appearances in the indie circuit in Puerto Rico, and made an appearance or two for WWC last year, in the function of an enforcer.

  • o man thats hugo savinovich talking

  • I believe Invader 3's name is Johnny Rivera. He used to be a crappy wrestler who always lost his matches. Once he started using the "magical" Invader mask he became a champion (tag team if I'm not mistaken). I remember a KFC promo where they would give a poster of the Invaders (1 & 3) when you bought a bucket. Funny!!

  • You are absolutely correct in everything you said here.

  • Invader #3 (not the same man who allegedly stabbed Brody) drank vodka and pig's blood before the match, and forced himself to vomit after the knee drop landed. It was so perfectly realized that you can probably do a Google search and find five different tape trading companies offering it on a "wrestling's greatest injuries," or "wrestling's greatest unscripted moments" tape. The whole match, including Invader #3's broken sternum, was a work. But a brilliant one

  • To what purpose did this work serve then? Did they ever pay off this angle with a rematch, or was it just a way to get Invader #3 some time off?

  • Just think about the ruckus this caused, and you see the purpose. It's the kind of advertisement most promotions (maybe excluding Mr. McMahons "Good, clean, family fun"-empire) can only dream about.

  • They had a rematch later on in which Manny easilly won even though Invader 3 came into the ring with an axe handle, nothing out of the ordinary happened during that rematch.

  • That angle made WWC more popular than ever on TV during the late 80s and early 90-'s. WWC's TV shows still dominate in their timeslots, and now has expanded their TV coverage thanks to WAPA America.

  • he diddnt kill him, but he did break his sternum and put invader 3 on the sideline for four months

  • I like the tv set feel,it is cool and retro...

  • I remember back in 88 seeing hogan get a ketchup condiment and rub it on his forhead then put it back in his underwear.Brody would have gotten his popularity back,he was a great and exciting wrestler...

  • hogan never used ketchup retard that was a razor blade you saw!

  • Dang marks - here's how you do this trick. Invader drinks cow's blood before the match. The referee slips him syrup of ipecac, and that stuff makes you projectile barf. Haven't you seen Family Guy where they drink it in a contest and see who's the last to throw up?

  • Its a work.

  • wtf y u record it off the tv its fuckin shit

  • ok invader 1 did kill Bruiser  Brody he3 really did how do i know you may ask ?? my dad and uncle saw the hole thing when it happend on the locker room invader 1 had a huge knife on his sport bag and no nobody testified in Brodys favor sad but true even in the colon,s family and other familys from the wrestling community dont even speak of that even thoug they now the truth so i say fuck u invader 1 hope u die

  • why didnt he roll out of the way??

  • invader 3 was not killed by this his lung was puntured causing the blood but he did in fact survive

  • The match woulda been stopped after the first knee when he started coughing blood if he was really hurt! It was suppose to happen. Fake blood.

  • this is sad

  • n PR wrestling the Invader number #3 is my all time favorite wrestler. I remember that fight and remember that he return months before using the "Supermedico #1 " mask and hit Chiki Starr using a bat in head for vengeances. And do one last fight with Chiki but he losses. After that he retired.

  • jesus ...

  • What happened to Manny Hernandez after this match, was he fired?

  • hes not dead but he lost a lot of blood during that match

  • if somebody had the name of"invader3",we could make a research on wiki to know what really happened

  • he drank vodka and pig's blood before the match, and forced himself to vomit after the knee drop landed. It was so perfectly realized that you can probably do a Google search and find five different tape trading companies offering it on a "wrestling's greatest injuries," or "wrestling's greatest unscripted moments" tape. The whole match, including Invader #3's broken sternum, was a work. But a brilliant one.

  • Yeah, I'm not buying the whole vodka and pig's blood bullshit

  • Yeah, but you buy a guy getting injured like that with nobody stepping in to do anything about it... it was a work. A damn good one, as the comments here show, but a work nonetheless. Had that amount of blood really been his, there wouldn't have been a way they'd gotten him to the hospital alive.

  • holy fuckin shit is that really real

  • he almost kill the inveader..

  • NO WAY WAS THAT REAL ! ! ! FFS!

  • damn..

  • At least one person knows what they're talking about (Blacklarry). He did this because he allegedly stabbed Bruiser Brody for not doing matches and such. And his ribs went into his lungs btw.

  • I don't think he's dead but damn that has got to suck. Must have crushed his sternum.

  • holyy.........sh%#, i aint never since so much blood in a wrestling match before

  • he did it cause invader had a hand in killing bruiser brody

  • Listen people, im from pr and im the neighbor and also a good friend of invader 3, this is real , it happened and he was really hurt, but he dint die, he did retire, right now he is the coach of his son who is a pretty good professional boxer, so there u go, i hope we cleared all this up, any other question let me know

  • dude, what the hell happened? that's the scariest thing I've seen in wrestling, EVER!

  • Hey Grayfox this is my first time seeing this. I've been a wrestling fan and I liked the Invaders when they were in WWF (WWE) I didn't even know there were three of them. What happen that made him do this to him? Do the Invaders still wrestle please let me know some info on this thanks.

  • Well DragoNYC, Manny Fernandez didnt knew that it was a serious injury, and so he continue with the show until the reff called the fight. And yes, the tradition of the invader is still carried on.

  • how could he not kno it was serious! all that blood is being coughed! not from a vut or anything

  • omg

  • Ey who is that? And is he really killed by Fernandez?

  • i almost puked when 1st saw this cuz i was eating

  • i remember this in PR he never wrestler again and he retierd that day it was real shit , a accident almost he died in the hospital...

  • That cold blooded and sick...i'll never see wrestling the same so much blood and gore...

  • RAAAAMOOOOOOONEEE CLEAN THIS UP

  • LOL...visions of Steve from Yellowstone!

  • hhaa he is alright he retyred in 2006 the man on the ground

  • Yeahhhhhh, I don't know if this is real or not
