Take one Yonkers restaurant, add a number of professional wrestlers celebrating Captain Lou Albano's 75th birthday, and you get Jim "The Sandman" Fullington losing it-- to the point where a SWAT team had to be called in to settle the matter. La Lanterna employees called the police because Fullington was throwing glasses at them; the Journal News reports that by the time police arrived, Fullington was "still flinging glasses from a tray at employees" and then even threw glasses at the cops, too. (A witness told the Post that Fullington and La Lanterna's owner had gotten into a fight, and the owner pulled a beer bottle on the wrestler.) Fullington was charged with resisting arrest, assault, criminal mischief and more.

A witness told the Post that Fullington and La Lanterna's owner had gotten into a fight, and the owner pulled a beer bottle on the wrestler.
The Sandman then took the bottle, chugged its contents, and then smashed it against his own head. Or at least that's how I imagine it went down since that's SOP for the Hardcore Icon.
Happy Birthday Captain Lou!!!!
but i thought all that wrestling stuff was fake...
someone oughta give them all the Mandible Claw.
See what steroids do to you? His picture almost looks like a cartoon of what a wrestler should look like.
ECW indeed!
I cant believe the Sandman was hanging in my neighborhood last nite!
Where is Sabu when you need him
oh man I grew up in Carmel, NY where Captain Lou is THE local celebrity and starred in all the local body shop commercials and yelled through all the local restaurant commercials and sat front row center at my high school production of Sound of Music and fell asleep halfway through act I.
met the guy a few years back...seemed like a nice quiet guy. maybe next time, the waiters/waitresses won't call him Hak

Gothamist Cynic had it right. I miss the old ECW.
ECW! ECW! ECW! ECW!
Where is Gordon Solly when you need him?
I hope someone called 911. A chokeslam could've solved this problem very easily.
I blame it on the Acromegaly.
The owner of La Lanterna was sleeping with Beulah. Break out the cane.
