Indie Wrestler Suspected Of Contracting COVID-19

The coronavirus is tearing through the globe and Americans are doing what they can to protect against is. So far the pro wrestling world has been fortunate, but a COVID-19 case was bound to happen eventually.

Alex Salyers, a regular at Championship Wrestling From Arizona revealed that he’s not having a good time at all right now. He’s been to the ER before and now it looks like he could be in for another trip. They haven’t confirmed that it’s COVID-19, but the symptoms are there.

I have been asked, and yes.. I am on quarantine for 2 weeks. The doctors have not yet admitted me for the Coronavirus, however they suspect I have it. More updates to come once and if they test me and send it to the CDC. Im new to this so I’m still trying to understand it myself.

Quarantine update.. the nights are getting harder to sleep through. I have ruptured a blood vessel in my eye and it’s totally bloodshot from such violent coughing. My body feels completely shut down. I have fluid leaking from both eyes..there is a chance I may be back in the ER.
