Reprinted from the Augusta Chronicle Title: Unknown Author: Unknown Columbus – A masked heavyweight professional wrestler, who works under the name of “Mr. Wrestler,” had to be rushed to a hospital Wednesday night after accepting a challenge from a fan and having his finger bitten off. The match had been set up two weeks earlier when the unidentified fan, a pretty hefty fellow himself, dared “Mr. Wrestler” to take him on. During the Wednesday night match, the fan bit one of the professional’s fingers off at the knuckle. |
