Florida City Bans Wrestling In Venues That Sell Alcohol

By Brad Curran - April 7, 2009 | Email the author

PWI’s Richard Trionfo reports that Vero Beach, Florida has banned wrestling shows (as well as boxing and kick boxing) from being held in venues that serve alcohol. This includes jello, oil, and mud wrestling, for some reason I can’t fathom; do mud wrestling matches take place outside of bars?

The one exemption is for buildings with a fixed seating capacity of 1,000 seats. No word on whether this effects the Florida indies like FIP and GEAR, or ROH, TNA, or WWE.

Doubt it – the WWE can always give Vero Beach the Portland, OR treatment and not come to town, thus leaving them without the $$$ the WWE brings to each community’s economy.

Being from Portland myself, I can honestly tell you that I wish they’d pass a law like this for the indies here. Fans tend to get drunk, then extremely disrespectful. Besides, I’d like to see wrestling return to something more family-friendly around here.
