A spokesperson for the Irving Police Department, reported TMZ. Officers spoke with the ref who was repeatedly stabbed with an iron stake on his head at an independent wrestling event held by World Class Pro Wrestling in Texas over the weekend.
The spokesperson says Deltoro told them he cut a deal with Nicholson prior to the match — agreeing to dress up like a referee and then take hits to the head and gush blood in the squared circle.
I’m not about “Cancel Culture”, but promotions need to STOP booking “Hannibal”, AKA “Blood Hunter”. There’s been numerous accusations of sexual harassment & several incidents of him legit injuring people. He’s a reckless liability that’s all about himself & getting YouTube views. pic.twitter.com/AfB2hc5LiF
