Brian Pillman Jr. revealed on Twitter this morning that he is pulling out of his FSW MECCA VI appearance scheduled for tonight due to a flu-like illness. Pillman Jr. said that he does not believe he has COVID-19.
Pillman Jr. said it is in the best interest of himself, his co-workers, and fans if he stays home. He was scheduled to take on Willie Mack.
Brian said this was a very difficult decision to make because he needed the money but he refused to get on a plane with the symptoms that he was showing. His roommates recently came down with Flu B and Pillman does not want to risk spreading anything.
He ended by saying, “I do not think I have COVID-19 but I have been on the road since March 7 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.”
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 pic.twitter.com/oTHhLR7coF
