| #1 Posted on 20.9.02 1700.44 Reposted on: 20.9.09 1701.45 | I just read the article that SlashWrestling linked to. I'm astounded.
The lawsuit says last year Ong enrolled in All Pro Wrestling's ``boot camp training'' hoping to become a professional wrestler. At 5-foot-7 inches and weighing 185 pounds, Ong was pitted against a massive sparring partner who was 7-foot-3 and weighed 400 pounds.
While practicing a maneuver, being swung then thrown from the partner's shoulder, Ong was thrown on the ground and suffered a concussion. Instead of seeking medical attention, the trainer allegedly told him to continue practicing. Ong was thrown again, vomited, and lost consciousness. After about 15 minutes, other students called an ambulance. Ong died on the way to the hospital, the lawsuit says.
This guy went up against a guy who was taller than the Big Show, got a concussion, and his trainer told him to CONTINUE?! No wonder they're suing the school for negligence! Promote this thread! | | Mild Mannered Madman
