Independent wrestling had its latest viral moment on February 27 at DreamSlam Wrestling’s For The Love 3 event in Santa Ana — and yes, it involved a flying pizza.
Chef-themed wrestler Luigi Primo picked up a win over Mikey O’Shea in a funhouse-style match by knocking him out with a thrown pizza pie. Not a prop box. An actual pie launched like a carb-loaded fastball.

The match was built for spectacle. Funhouse rules, exaggerated spots, and characters leaning fully into their gimmicks. Primo, known for his over-the-top Italian accent persona and pizza-spinning theatrics, stayed completely on brand. When the moment called for a finish, he didn’t reach for a chair or a kendo stick. He reached for dinner.
The clip spread quickly across X, where Primo later acknowledged the moment in character, crediting the original video poster and confidently reminding everyone about his elite pizza skills. The self-awareness only added fuel to the clip’s popularity.
Much of the praise online focused on O’Shea’s selling of the spot. Making a thrown pizza look decisive isn’t automatic — timing and commitment matter. Viewers also highlighted how the finish captured what independent wrestling does well: memorable visuals, clear character work, and moments designed to live beyond the building.
There’s a long history of creative finishes in professional wrestling, especially in stipulation-heavy matches. This one simply leaned all the way into the gimmick. A pizza-themed wrestler winning with a pizza. Simple concept, strong execution, instantly shareable.
For DreamSlam Wrestling, it was a spotlight moment. For Primo, reinforcement of a distinct persona that translates well online. And for fans, another reminder that wrestling’s appeal isn’t limited to traditional realism — sometimes it’s about commitment to the bit and delivering a finish people will replay.
