[Space Suicide]

In a strange turn of events, I've now lost my job at IWC (the company where i got hurt). The Pennsylvania state athletic commission has just been informed of the severity of my injury and threatened to cancel future IWC shows if they book me (or something like that, I'm not 100% sure) this whole situation makes NO sense to me. I did NOT break any rules by getting hurt..so how can they do that?

They're probably pre-emptively thinking you’re accident prone and will cost them money in the future with an inevitable lawsuit. So there probably is no justification for firing, just thinking of their wallets.

If it's just the one company, then yeah it's on them. Because I'm pretty sure wrestling doesn't apply to state commissions. Again, fake sport/entertainment. I'd look into that. I'm calling bullshit though.

Just spoke with the guy, I'm banned in PA for at least 6 months.

Pennsylvania has a Wrestling Act that puts them under the State Athletic Commission. I don't find anything in the act that allows them to order a promoter to not book a wrestler because of an injury. But there's got to be a sports lawyer there who knows the Act and can help if they try to enforce the ban

Yup, I broke no rules..it's a total abuse of power.

They're probably pre-emptively thinking you’re accident prone and will cost them money in the future with an inevitable lawsuit. So there probably is no justification for firing, just thinking of their wallets.

But they have no right to pick and choose who continues to wrestle and who doesn't.. You can't just DECIDE that one wrestler is not allowed to work in your state because they got injured. My trainers/bookers/friends are PISSED and we might be contacting an attorney.
