“#’Death match’ erupts in Brooklyn during Election results<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n While much of the world was watching President Trump and Joe Biden duke it out at the polls Tuesday night, a pack of pugilists held a wrestling \u201cdeathmatch\u201d on the streets of Brooklyn.<\/p>\n

A crowd of about 25 people were spotted beating the crap out of each other outside of a warehouse on Frost Street in Williamsburg around 10 p.m., according to witness Jennifer Keene, who caught the spectacle from her window.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sitting in the living room watching the returns and I start hearing noise outside and I\u2019m like is this election-related?\u201d Keene told The Post.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn non #Election2020 news<\/a> there\u2019s some kind of fight club performance happ<\/a>ening in Williamsburg,\u201d she later wrote on Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Videos Keene took of the event show a large crowd gathered in a circle as two men wrestle each other. One of them gets thrown against a car as the other pummels him on the head with WWE-style licks, the videos show.<\/p>\n

Professional camera gear was set up to record the event, Keene said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was hoping it was like a Black Lives Matter thing and nope,\u201d Keene said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think people are so hungry for human contact and there\u2019s kind of an anarchist feeling these days. I don\u2019t really know, it\u2019s such a strange year,\u201d she continued, trailing off.<\/p>\n

It turns out the event was a planned show, hosted by the \u201cKing of the No Ring Death Match\u201d Casanova Valentine<\/a>, who regularly hosts the underground wrestling events in Brooklyn and New Jersey, according to a flyer for the gathering and avid fan Jamie Ciccone.<\/p>\n

\u201cELECTION FRAUD CELEBRATION!\u201d the flyer, posted to Valentine\u2019s Instagram account<\/a>, reads in bolded black letters.<\/p>\n

\u201cPRESIDENTIAL DEATHMATCH!\u201d it continues with an addendum at the bottom asking spectators to \u201cwear a mask\u201d and \u201cavoid making eye contact.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ciccone said the wrestling laws in New York \u201care really tight\u201d so the events are technically a performance but the cuts, bruises and blood spilled during the showdowns are 100 percent real.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe gotta go a little softer in New York,\u201d Ciccone explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s why most of us fans go to Jersey for all of the shows,\u201d she continued, saying the events are apparently legal in the Garden State and typically feature barbed wire and sharp gardening tools.<\/p>\n

While the event was called an \u201celection fraud celebration,\u201d Ciccone said it was just a fun way to blow off steam during such a tense time.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was just the theme of the night, kind of let people have a little bit of fun since everything sucks right now,\u201d the lifelong wrestling fan said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

By 11 p.m., the show was over and the crowd was cleared out.<\/p>\n

Casanova didn\u2019t immedia<\/a>tely return a request for comment.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
