Previously Injured Wrestler Spotted In Town Ahead Of Tonight’s Raw
In unfortunate news, almost four months ago, Latino World Order member Cruz Del Toro revealed on Instagram that he had undergone surgery on his arm. At the time, the wrestler wouldn’t go into specific details regarding the injury, although as he participated in Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal earlier in the month, it’s likely it was a new injury. However, with the luchador having been seen without his cast, PWInsider.com has now reported that he has been spotted in St. Paul, Minnesota, where Raw is taking place. 32-year-old Del Toro, real name Raúl Mendoza, first entered the wrestling business in 2006 and spent the next decade making his name on the Mexican independent circuit while occasionally working for AAA. Yet, his true big break would come in 2016 when he participated in the WWE Cruiserweight Classic. And while he lost a first-round match to Brian Kendrick, he impressed the company enough to eventually earn a full-time contract, debuting on NXT the following year.

Midwest sees surge in calls to poison control centers amid bumper crop of wild mushrooms
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The warm, soggy summer across much of the Midwest has produced a bumper crop of wild mushrooms — and a surge in calls to poison control centers. At the Minnesota Regional Poison Center, calls from April through July more than tripled over the same period last year, said Samantha Lee, the center’s director. The center took 90 calls for potential exposures over that period, compared to 26 calls for the same months in 2023. Exposures include people who have had actual or suspected contact with potentially poisonous mushrooms and who may or may not develop symptoms, she said. The cases can include kids who didn’t know what they were doing and foragers who make mistakes, she said. But those numbers don’t include people who are merely curious about whether the mushrooms popping out of their yards are good to eat. “Fortunately the majority of the time these tend to be mild symptoms,” Lee said. “A lot of these are mushrooms that were in the yard or nearby parks. Many of these cause upset stomachs, vomiting and diarrhea, but every year we do get some cases with serious outcomes.”
