MLW star Brian Pillman Jr. issued a statement on his Twitter account revealing that he will no longer be appearing at today's Future Stars Of Wrestling event in Las Vegas. Pillman states that he is exhibiting flu-like symptoms, and wants to ensure the safety of his fellow wrestlers and fans alike due to the ongoing Cornavirus concerns. He does still plug the show, which will be airing on FITE TV.
I regret to inform my fans that I will be unable to make this show today. After coming home from a long week of vacation and wrestling I am exhibiting some flu-like symptoms. It is in my best interest and the interest of my peers and fans to remain home. Please tune in on @FiteTV. This was a very tough decision to make. In all honesty I need the money but I couldn't bring myself to get on a plane with a sore throat, runny nose, and a headache. Roommates having recently been diagnosed with Flu B, it is my responsibility to reduce the spread of it.
I do not think I have COVID-19 but I have been on the road since March 7th and finally got home last night. Been through various countries and airports, and my immune system is just worn down. Flu or cold, I just hope everyone respects my decision to isolate myself at this time.
