A crazed wrestler who gouged a referee's head with a spike multiple times after losing a World Pro Class Wrestling match has been banned from ever returning to the mat.
Devon Nicholson, who wrestles under the names Hannibal and Blood Hunter, had lost his match against fellow wrestler Carlito in Irving, Texas, on Saturday night.
Nicholson, 39, then took his anger out on referee Lando Deltoro, grabbing him in a headlock and carving up his skull with the metal spike.
The bloodied referee required seven staples to close the gashes.

The Canadian-born wrestler and YouTube personality claimed the ref was 'hired to bleed' during World Class Revolution's Christmas Star Wars event.
'This referee was supposed to bleed from razor blade cuts. I assume he actually cut himself with the razor blades, said Nicholson, who's YouTube channel has over 300,000 subscribers.
Video footage from the incident captured the wild incident as the 280-pound wrestler carved away at Deltoro's head.
Spectators watched in horror, screaming 'Get off him!' as Deltoro remained cradled in Nicholson's grasp.
