Career
Gerardo Germán Pineda was a veteran 75-year-old lucha libre referee and former wrestler from the state of Hidalgo, Mexico. He was better known as El Buho. He spent about 15 years as an in-ring competitor, originally wrestling under the mask as El Búho Negro II (following in the footsteps of his brother, El Búho Negro I). He transitioned to being an official almost by chance when a local event was left without a referee and he was asked to step in. He accumulated nearly three decades of experience as a referee in Hidalgo, becoming a well-known and respected figure in his region.
He passed away on October 6, 2026, following an incident during a lucha libre event at the Deportivo 11 de Julio in Mineral de la Reforma, Hidalgo, Mexico. In the event (hauntingly named "Deslealtades"), El Buho was the referee for the main event in which El Hijo de Fishman went one on one against long-time rival Máscara Sagrada NG in a Toreo Match. Witness accounts said Pineda received a Package Piledriver by El Hijo de Fishman after the match. Pineda remained down after the maneuver, and emergency responders later confirmed his death. Hidalgo authorities were investigating the incident.
Hijo de Fishman was subsequently detained by authorities as part of the legal investigation into the event and arrested on charges of manslaughter, before being released shortly thereafter - having apparently reached a settlement with Buho's family.
El Búho's specific cause of death was later confirmed to be from a traumatic brain injury, which resulted in a cerebral edema (fluid in the brain) and a subarachnoid hemorrhage (bleeding).
