Police: Pro wrestler pulled over for speeding: PEORIA - A professional wrestler running late for a show at the Peoria Civic Center was pulled over on Interstate 74 on Tuesday afternoon for reportedly driving more than 40 mph over the speed limit. Sylvain Grenier, 29, of Davie, Fla., best known to World Wrestling Entertainment fans for his role in La Resistance, an anti-American tag team, was arrested about 3 p.m. by an Illinois State Police officer doing a routine detail. He will have to return to Peoria for a scheduled court date. Grenier was headed east on I-74 near mile marker 91, which is in Peoria city limits, near Downtown. The speed limit is 55 mph at that location. He was going 96 mph, State Police said. Grenier was booked into the Peoria County Jail, but a WWE co-worker paid his $200 bond to get him out about 4:30 p.m., two hours before show time.
