Wrestler Tosses Glasses at Cops’ Heads in NY Restaurant
In a tenuously food-related story, a former WWF wrestler is in trouble, this time after causing a ruckus at a NYC-area restaurant.
A gathering for professional wrestlers at a suburban New York City restaurant ended with the arrest of a wrestler known as “The Sandman.”
Yonkers police say that when officers arrived at the restaurant Sunday night, 45-year-old James “The Sandman” Fullington was flinging glasses from a tray at employees.
A police spokeswoman says the 6-foot-4-inch, 280-pound Fullington also threw several glasses at police, injuring two officers.
This the biggest controversy to hit wrestling since that episode of Hulk Hogan’s Rock ‘n’ Wrestling where the Iron Sheik’s nephew Ahmed played in the Junior World Series and the Sheik–who I met in the 1980s at a wrestling match held at a bar in Alexandria, Va.–cheated in an attempt to make Ahmed’s team win.
Note: Look for a Mean Gene Okerlund cameo about 6:20 into the video.
Note II: Bringing it back to food, fans do throw food at the wrestlers at about 7:35.
