On Tape: Teen Wrestler Set On Fire
A 16-year-old Volusia County boy is in stable condition Friday after a backyard wrestling stunt went wrong.

The teen suffered second-degree burns on his chest and waist when his friend put rubbing alcohol on his clothes and ignited it. The unidentified victim is expected to be OK.

The accident happened at 561 E. Euclid Ave. in DeLand, and the entire incident was caught on tape.

The group of teenagers said that they often wrestle in each other's back yards after school, mimicking professional wrestlers and hard-core matches.

"There's only been a couple times that people probably broke their arms and stuff, got stitches or whatever, but that's about it. Nothing like this. Nothing where someone got burned and was in the hospital," said Brian Bates, the victim's brother.

Bates said the accident should have never happened.

"(My brother) said 'Don't,' and the dude did it anyway," Bates said. "They throw the alcohol on you, and then they put you on fire."

The videotape shows the victim calling for a timeout, but instead of stopping, someone hit him with a chair.

"We lit his leg and he got kind of scared," Joey Rousseau said. "I wish I wouldn't have done it."

The victim rolled 10 times before the flames were put out, according to his brother.

Rousseau could face criminal charges.

The teens said they have been backyard wrestling for months. But after the incident, they said they won't be wrestling anymore.


DUH!! Well, at least they were smart for saying they'll stop and they didn't go and whine saying Vince or Mankind made them do it.

I have no sympathy or remorse for these dorks.


(Nothing to say)
