Oro

Death and memorial Hernández' nephew who works as Oro Jr. in honor of his uncle. On October 26, 1993, Oro, Brazo de Plata and La Fiera faced Dr. Wagner Jr., Kahoz and Jaque Mate in a six-man tag team match at Arena Coliseo in Mexico City. Before the match, while going over the plans for it, Oro expressed his desire to take a "Kobashi bump", a reference to a head first backdrop driver which Kenta Kobashi took in a match in All Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW). That particular bump had a dramatic effect, as it looked like Kobashi had broken his neck and Oro wanted to use the shock effect to help build the drama for their match. During the match, Kahoz clotheslined Oro, who spun and landed on his head as he had planned. His opponent tried to pick him up, but soon thereafter he collapsed and his pulse became weak. Oro was put on a stretcher at the start of the second fall while his brother screamed, "Don't fall asleep!", warning him to remain alert so that he would not lose consciousness. Oro died before being placed in a waiting ambulance, two months short of his 22nd birthday. Oro's family requested that an autopsy not be performed; however, it was believed that he died of a brain aneurysm.

The following day, the news of Oro's death headlined every lucha libre publication in Mexico. EMLL's rival promotion, Asistencia Asesoría y Administración, paid tribute to Oro during their show, something they had rarely done for a worker of their rival promotion. In 1994 and 1995, close to the date of Oro's death, EMLL held a Copa de Oro tournament, a tag team tournament where the winners were presented a trophy by Oro II. The 1994 tournament winners were Apolo Dantés and El Dandy, and the 1995 tournament was won by Chicago Express and Pierroth Jr. Each year, around the anniversary of Jesús Javier Hernández Silva's death, the lucha libre community organizes a religious mass in memory of Jesús Hernández, as well as other major lucha libre names that have died in the previous year. The mass takes place in Arena Coliseo, the arena where Oro died. A number of wrestlers have cited Oro as their inspiration for becoming a wrestler or an inspiration for them adopting a faster, more high-flying, high-risk style by the work he did in the ring.
