Dear all independent pro wrestling fans going to NOLA this year,
Understand that Louisiana doesn’t allow for anything remotely close to death match wrestling. Hell, piledrivers are banned there (#JerryLawlerRule).
Sincerely,
Pro wrestler trying to curb unreal expectations— David Starr (@TheProductDS) February 15, 2018
