City Shuts Down “Men’s Parties/Wrestling Club” at 14th and Corcoran

It appeared that the “Men’s Parties/Wrestling Club” at 1618-A 14th Street had already shut down after the death of a patron last October. It was open for some time afterward, though.
Now, it appears it is official. Saw this brief at WaPo DC Wire, which is based on a news release by DC Attorney General Peter Nickles:
“The District has shut down several health spas, social clubs and massage parlors that officials found to be associated with prostitution and illegal sexually-oriented activities, according to a news release from the office of Attorney General Peter Nickles.”
Included on the list is “Wrestling Club at 1618 14th Street NW.” You may remember that the Men’s Parties/Wrestling Club rose to local fame when a man apparently fell down a flight of stairs and then died last October early on a Sunday morning.
