Apparently a recent indie event in Indiana managed to trigger a health scare from authorities due to the risk that HIV and/or Hepatitis C might have been spread into the crowd from wrestlers who got busted open during the show.

Pro Wrestling - Trainwreck produced the event. Co-promoter John Glenn said he believes the health department is calling for the testing as a precaution. He said none of his wrestlers were positive for any blood-borne pathogens. He said he thoroughly made sure all of their paperwork was in order before the Sunday event. Glenn said the most severe injury occurred during a maneuver in which a wrestler was slammed through a door with a glass pane. The wrestler’s buttocks were supposed to shield the blow, but instead, his upper body was lacerated. The performer is out of the hospital and ready to wrestle again, Glenn said. However, Glenn said his company has suspended wrestling operations in New Albany after the incident.
