Last year, news broke that Austin Matelson, better known to wrestling fans by the names Killswitch and Luchasaurus, had been hospitalized due to pneumonia in both lungs. Apparently, the AEW wrestler had collapsed at his home and, thankfully, was found by his girlfriend, who got him urgent medical assistance. And now, with it still unclear when and even if he will be able to return to action, the 39-year-old has been photographed at a fan convention looking happy and healthy alongside a fan.
Matelson broke into the business via Florida Championship Wrestling, which was a WWE developmental territory at the time. Yet, while things didn’t work out for him, he decided to pursue a career in reality television, placing 5th in the 2015 version of Big Brother. Still, with pro wrestling being his true passion, he returned to the ring via indie shows, leading to him signing with Lucha Underground and performing under the name Vibora. Therefore, with added television experience, he was a perfect fit for AEW when the company launched, and Tony Khan needed to fill his roster with talented but mainly unknown wrestlers.
