Filipino Wrestler Who Set Himself On Fire Suspended

Posted By: Thomas Lowson on May 28, 2018

A Filipino wrestler who set himself on fire during a match, has been suspended by the promoters. 

James 'Idol' Martinez set himself on fire, before attempting a crossbody to the outside, during a show for Philippine Wrestling Revolution. 

Not only did Martinez miss, but the flames continued to burn him, causing him to run to the back for help.

PWR gave the following statement: 

"Philippine Wrestling Revolution (“PWR”) would like to officially announce the suspension of James “Idol” Martinez from active competition due to events that transpired during his match at Wrevolution X 2018 last 20 May 2018, which resulted in injuries to Mr. Martinez.

PWR is committed to providing the safest possible environment for its performers, personnel, and audience members. Any factor that could endanger them will be treated with the utmost seriousness and importance.

PWR wishes Mr. Martinez a speedy recovery."
