The truth behind the fight in which a referee was stabbed in the head

American wrestling lived last weekend one of the most violent episodes, after the aggression against a wrestling referee. The events took off a debate about the limits of the most popular combat show in North America.

The wrestling events captivate millions of spectators in the United States and Mexico, in this type of encounters the fans take sides with one of the fighters, who receive love or hate based on their life stories.

This kind of ‘combat circus’ is part of expectant moments when wrestlers take objects like chairs, sticks or any kind of weapon to defeat their adversaries. Singularities that lead to the public exploding and the rating levels increase.

However, the uniqueness of these shows can end in terrible consequences for its members. Situation that was demonstrated this weekend in a wrestling fight in Texas, when the wrestler Devon Nicholson, popularly known as Hannibal, stabbed referee Lando Deltoro in the head over the ring.

The local police intervened at the moment when a premeditated attack – like most in this type of spectacle – evidently got worse. The agents were surprised when the victim, Country Deltoro, commented that he had no plans to press charges.

From there, it doubtless invaded the uniformed men, prompting them to investigate further.

That referee was hired to bleed. He did not referee any other fight (…) They gave me an accessory to create the effect of a weapon in combat. The accessory was given to me by the World Class Pro Wrestling office (…) in the ring.

Hannibal, broadcaster of the aggression, on his YouTube channel.

As explained by the fighter on the video platform, the referee was planned to bleed, since the original weapon was a razor blade. In addition, he explained that he had contacted Deltoro.

I spoke to the boy the next day. He said we were great. He knows I didn’t mean to hurt him. I said sorry. If he had told me he was hurting himself, I would have stopped.

“Recovering at home, still in the midst of great confusion and pain, yes, a lot of pain. But I will live. Thank you all for your love and support. I am a firm believer that if you put good in the world, good will return to you ”, Deltoro expressed on Twitter.

After the clarification of such a violent episode, doubts fell on the alleged referee, who told his reasons behind the events on the social network.

“I heard he could have said ‘stop’ at any time. I just wanted to say that it is very difficult to speak when you have the knee of a 300 pound man on your back and then they strangle you while repeatedly stabbing you in the head with an iron point. “. Later, she gave an uninspiring piece of her condition: “I woke up and the whole left side of my head feels like it’s on fire and there’s drainage, definitely an infection, so I’m going to go in to get it checked.”

The web of The Daily Beast contacted Deltoro to clarify the confusing facts, who claimed to be a war veteran: “I haven’t seen so much blood since Fallujah. It was frightening”. Later, a police spokesman confirmed to TMZ Sports that the referee admitted to having agreed to bleed during the match in exchange for 75 dollars.

The controversy ended by forcing the owner of the wrestling company, Jerry Bostic, to announce that Hannibal will no longer be in the repertoire nor will he return to the ring with them: “I cannot and will not tolerate what happened last night.” On the other hand, the fighter denounced that received death threats in social networks and that it was he who decided to move away from the World Class Pro Wrestling on their own.
