Bocazas II had been attempting to land on Brillo Dorado, who was waiting on the apron.
The stricken wrestler was left writhing in agony as his teammates desperately rushed to help.
Other fighters eventually managed to untangle him from the ropes as Demonio Infernal and his fellow wrestlers frantically waved for ringside medics.
The horrific accident happened at an independent lucha libre show in Tamaulipas, Mexico, during the penultimate weekend of September.
Bocazas II was taken to hospital for scans following the show.
Promoters have not yet revealed the full extent of his injuries or released a formal diagnosis.
Doctors have carried out a series of tests, and there is a strong chance he will require surgery, according to local reports.
No official update has been posted on the wrestler’s social media accounts.
Bocazas II competes on Mexico’s independent wrestling circuit rather than for major promotions CMLL or AAA, as reported by Need To Know.
Independent lucha libre shows are commonly staged in smaller arenas, town halls and on one-off cards organised by local promoters.
There has been no indication of when Bocazas II could return to the ring.
