Wrestler Gone Wild at Captain Lou Albano's Party
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.

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.

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.

Why didn't New Jack or Sabu jut hit him with a guitar or step ladder or coil of barbed wire or stop sign or table or chair?
Gothamist Cynic had it right. I miss the old ECW.

I hope someone called 911. A chokeslam could've solved this problem very easily.

The owner of La Lanterna was sleeping with Beulah. Break out the cane.
