A wrestler crossed the line during a match a bit too far over the weekend that resulted in a referee being sent to the hospital after being attacked violently with an iron spike. It happened at a World Class Pro Wrestling event in Irving, Texas when Devon Nicholson, AKA ‘Hannibal’ grabbed the ref and shoved the spike into his head numerous times.
Nicholson had won his match but didn’t leave the ring and instead, he began fighting with the referee. In a video from the match, you can see Nicholson take the spike and begin driving it into the ref’s head over and over. You can see the video below, but some viewer discretion is advised.

Wrestler ‘Hannibal’ VIOLENTLY Stabs Ref With Spike Causing The Ref To Be Hospitalized!
After the match, the referee, Lando Deltoro was rushed to the hospital and thankfully, is now doing okay. He took to social media to tell everyone he was okay and was just going to take some time to relax along with a few photos showing his injuries,
“Hey guys, I’m ok things went a bit off script but I’ll live. Tore an artery and lost a lot of blood and even got a new haircut. The staff at Parkland were great. Thank you for all reaching out and thank you to the friend who watched over Niki as things went down. Now to rest and watch some MCU.”
Wresting fans were disgusted at what happened, saying, “There is no fucking way that this should ever have happened in a Wrestling match”, “What an idiot. F–k Hannibal.”, “Disgusting” and “this is like mass transit levels of f–ked.”
We wish for a speedy recovery for Deltoro and we suspect Hannibal will be reprimanded for his actions.
