An independent wrestler set fire to his opponent’s crotch, before attacking the poor competitor with a weed whacker.
The PWT Southern Sickness Cup was promoted as “The Most Violent Show on Earth”. A clip of Eric Ryan setting JJ Escobar’s crotch on fire has went viral, with over 1.2 million views on Twitter alone.
Ryan set Escobar alight, before jousting him in the privates with a weed whacker. Unfortunately for Escobar, this did not put out the fire. Escobar attempted to remove his gear as he was engulfed in flames.
