Wrestler's Violent Method of Hurling Opponent From Ring Goes Viral

An unbelievable move from a local wrestling event held at St Johnsburg Fire Hall in North Tonawanda, New York, on June 30 has gone viral, after a clip was shared to Twitter by a wrestler involved.

Pro wrestlers Ace Romero and Anthony Gaines went head-to-head at Empire State Wrestling’s Summer of Sleaze event, and the entire match was shared to YouTube by the company on July 2. One move in particular has gained traction online, featuring Romero throwing Gaines over the ropes and out of the ring.

Sharing a snippet to his Twitter account, Gaines wrote, “Last night @TheAceyBaby pounced me into absolute oblivion. 14ft deep up the isle way.” Luckily, he appears to have escaped relatively unscathed!

The clip had over one million views on Twitter at the time of writing. The entire match can be seen below. Credit: Empire State Wrestling/Anthony Gaines/Ace Romero via Storyful
