Matt Cardona Recalls Airport Security Mistaking His ‘Deathmatch King’ Crown Case For A Weapon Case
Matt Cardona recalls a funny airport story.
Cardona, who has already worked for 19 different independent promotions in 2023 alone, is one of the most traveled names in all of professional wrestling. Cardona often will post about his airport travels and the woes that come with it on social media.
In a new interview with WrestlingNews.co, Cardona recalled an instance in the airport where one of his bags was held back and how airport security thought it was a gun, but it was actually his Deathmatch King crown.
“I travel with four bags, it’s unbelievable. I have a bag with my clothes and my normal stuff, then I have a bag with all my gear and the championships, then I have a bag which is basically a portable mall, everything that I sell at my gimmick table. Then I have this case that looks like you’d carry a gun in it, it actually got stopped by TSA. They held my bag back, I was waiting at the conveyor belt and it didn’t come around. I went to baggage, they had it back there like it as a gun… it’s my Deathmatch King crown. It’s a lot of bags to travel with.”
