Bibbs. Wrestling. Ovah.
South Broadway Athletic Club bad boy and local favorite wrestler Mr. Bibbs will be sitting out the next year's worth of matches.
While defending the MMWA-SICW Heavyweight Title against Jerome Cody during the May show, Mr. Bibbs sustained yet another back injury. Assuming the pain was just another addition to the long list of injuries he's sustained during his professional wrestling career (see the inaugural print edition of 52nd City) Mr. Bibbs planned on a few months out of the ring to recuperate.
Well rasslin' fans, he's more hurt than originally thought. Tests reveal a bulging disc in the lower part of his back, requiring an extended rehabilitation and possible retirement from the sport.
In the words of Mr. Bibbs himself, “You can’t fake gravity.”
