INDEPENDENCE–Josh Prohibition defended his home turf against Eric “Red Wolf” Taylor in a fundraising wrestling match at Independence High School on Thursday.
Prohibition, known outside the ring as Mr. Piscura, a social studies teacher at Independence, learned of a Leukemia and Lymphoma Society fundraiser coordinated by Independence student-athletes Molly McGreal and Macey McGhee and challenged the girls to raise a set amount of money.
If the girls were able to achieve that goal, he promised to put together an exhibition wrestling match against Eric Taylor, who attended rival Cuyahoga Heights High School.
After raising over $30,000 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, Mr. Piscura stayed true to his word and set up the match to be held on Independence’s last day of school prior to spring break.
In front of a packed house full of rabid Blue Devils, Josh Prohibition, with some help from Independence’s chair-wielding Blue Devil mascot, defeated Taylor by fall.
