JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind. (CBS Cleveland/AP) A former professional wrestler is suing his opponent and the Indiana-based promoter who arranged their bout last year, claiming his foe was supposed to lose their match but had other ideas and kicked him so hard in the crotch that one of his testicles ruptured and had to be removed.
John Levi Miller, 23, contends in his lawsuit filed Monday that Clinton Woosley was the heel, a term used to describe the designated villain or loser, of their match last June, The Courier-Journal of Louisville, Ky., reported. He says Woosley, who wrestles under the name Guido Andretti, declined his invitation to map out the fight, as is customary, and instead said he understood the plan and that it would be OK. However, Miller says Woosley tried to win and kicked him hard in the crotch.
Miller, who was a contestant on season two of Love Games, an Oxygen Channel reality show, could not immediately be reached for comment. Neither he nor Woosley had listed phone numbers. In his bio on the shows website, Miller is described as an aspiring WWE wrestler who has made a few appearances on the WWE circuit as a villain named The Playboy J-Millz.
Millers lawyer, Larry Wilder of Jeffersonville, told the paper that Miller applied ice to the swelling after returning home from his match with Woosley, but went to a hospital the next day, where doctors ended up removing his ruptured right testicle.
