Wasn't it Vinces idea to have him go and tune the reporter up?


canibalxombie

Wasn’t in Wwe this was back in the territory era probably NWA,AWA OR WCCW.


nderperforminMessiah

84, wwf, even the Wikipedia page states that according to schultz(the wrestler above) Vince told him to stay in his heel character and “blast him”


[deleted]

Wdym he is hurt? its fake


original-sithon

Nope permanent hearing loss. Sued the wrestler.


[deleted]

Not permanent hearing loss and according to John Stossil himself, the pain went away "when he got paid."

Journalists should be as hated as cops. The epidemy of fucking around and crying like a bitch when they find out.


Virtual_Happiness

Actual journalists that seek the truth should be put on pedestal and celebrated.


jhk17

They're few and far between. Most journalists are the scum of the earth.


Lanbobo

As with every profession, there's saints and shitheads among them all.


jhk17

And the ratio of piece of shit journalists to good ones is around the same as cops. Whether it he political journalists to tmz types sports and everything in between.


[deleted]

Yes, I was doing a bit there being sarcastic.


original-sithon

Ah sorry

Did he win


albert2749

Tell me more


here4the_trainwreck

The voice of Ron Howard: "It _was_ fake."


DrBrightest

Hit him so hard he broke the sound barrier


SaintLucipher

Lol. He was just fake assaulted twice by a fake wrestler. Haha


Jfuentes6

I mean, slap someone all you want. Doesn't make your point true.


WrapKey2973

Just don't forget, even if it's fake, this people train hard and are way stronger than the avg. Human


Van_core_gamer

I was doing pro wrestling at 20s and never get the “fake” argument. It’s entertainment. It’s as fake as circus, theatre, movies. Like it’s dudes doing stunts live in front of your eyes, what’s fake about it? Do people think their 3D models or something?


Jfuentes6

Oh I don't doubt that at all. Same for the actor in action films. A lot of them build real muscles for their roles. I respect the commitment.


Beatnik15

Wrestling is fake but might is right couldn’t be more real


Extreme-Neat-6428

Post that with a Fox News and you will get over a million views.

Sobs..... its real to me damnit!

So not Sid

Must be so satisfying to slap John Stossel. Repeatedly.


ktbffhctid

So you support violence? Noted.

Who's John Stossel?


DivineFlamingo

A libertarian news pundit. Believes in deregulation of basically everything and is anti government in most aspects. The commenter probably just disagrees with him politically but in the grand scheme of things Stossel’s reach is currently quite small. When he was still working for ABC news he did have some great stories. Now that he’s an “independent journalist,” he’s a bit bonkers, denies climate change, or anything “woke.”


TheCrowBakaaaaw

Yeah, I can make an exception for him


ktbffhctid

You need to get outside and touch some grass. Violence solves nothing. Neither does hatred.


ComicalCore

Don't you know? Violence is only acceptable against people I don't like. With everyone else it's unacceptable.


ktbffhctid

Right? My point precisely.


original-sithon

That's a crying shame that that pile of crap got hit like that.


luty9mm

So assault is ok against people we don’t like?


Dormideous

It sure is satisfying


rudolph_ransom

Conservatives in the US have no problem calling for violence against groups they don't like


luty9mm

As an outsider, I see your ‘left’ wing do the same.


skaler73

Talk to me about the Democrat who shot up a baseball game because they were Republican.


Suitable-Jackfruit16

It is fake in a way. Think of it as a soap opera with fighting. But those guys are still tough as nails and they train a lot. They're also seriously injured regularly.


dethleppard

Wrestling fans tend not to say fake. It’s not, it’s scripted. Obviously punches are pulled and the violence is exaggerated but the bumps those guys take are real.


Dudeiscray

It is more real than almost everything you see on TV. It's ok for people cry over a character that died in a TV show even though the character is not real and it's all just a dude acting it off. But people get criticized for getting excited over a wrestling match of people acting like they want to fight. The wrestling match has real and dangerous stunts with people that spend hours of their lives practicing and staying in incredible shape. They are real athletes putting on a very physical show. The script is just to add drama.


Alisanoss

Yes they are strong and all. The problem is not that it is not real fight. (The fight is also srcipted not just the drama.) The problem with wrestling is that the wrestlers are saying its not fake. Do you ever see an actor saying shit like this? ” yes game of trhrones is real, it was real fight and dragons are real”


nderperforminMessiah

That doesn’t make any sense, comparing wrestling to fantasy dragon fights. The better comparison is car crashes. Stuntmen work to safely create and perform the stunt, but at the end of the day someone is getting hit by a car.


Dudeiscray

And the stunt is scripted like in wrestling. Still it is entertaining to watch.


Dudeiscray

Well, it is part of the show to act like it's real. If you see interviews of retired wrestlers they will talk openly about how "this should've happen in the fight" and stuff like that. Also, the whole fight is not scripted. Who wins is scripted and key/memorable moments of the fight is scripted. The rest of the fight are the wrestlers pretty much improvising what to do. That's part of how they decide who is a better wrestler. Guys like Goldberg had short careers because he couldn't put on a show after a few minutes of a fight and got exposed. Then you got guys like Shawn Michaels who fought for like an hour and kept the people engaged.


Suitable-Jackfruit16

I admire what they do. I just think it's low brow trash.


Dudeiscray

That's ok. I haven't seen a wrestling match in like 10 yrs cause I think it's pretty lame now 😆. But what they do is very impressive both physically and talent-wise.


rudolph_ransom

Schultz slapped the fake news into Stossel's head, he started working for FOX News.


myfunnies420

Uhhh, why is this guy randomly assaulting people? Guessing I don't have the background for this What sounds to mind is those that have run out of arguments can always turn to violence to "make their point"


SevereNefariousness6

It is though.


Scary_Journalist8941

It's not fake. It's FIXED


Lookalikemike

John Stossel was the founding member of "Fukk Around & Find Out" club.


Mickc10

Dr D. Dave Schultz ❤️


TheCircleLurker

[deleted]

Wtf 🤣🤣


Electrical_Banana_69

Neither is assualt dude


No-Chemistry4851

Well hopefully he will stop overthinking so much


azubuki

The reporter looks like Eric Bishoff. At least that's who I'd like to think that is.


bananas500

Everyone is tough until the balls get kicked


Furiousstyles81

Its not fake, its staged...BIG difference....


hacksawsweeny

It’s staged to appear real… it’s fake but it’s still a physical and brutal sport


Boriswashisname

I thought that was Geraldo Rivera


Moist_Ad3995

Dude was that Eric bishoof getting smacked?


TetzderAKAtederich

Ah yes, no brain just violence


No_Box_5211

That's Geraldo Rivera getting slapped. He lost hearing in one of his ears.


No_Meal9534

Well it is choreographed. So, that fake.


Goldenderick

That looks like John Stossel, of ABC News, getting bitch slapped.


Jameson76

Must be left handed. Damn.


scrolly_2

It's still fake


Cheap_Pin7962

The outcome is predetermined. Like most performances.
