Former ECW Wrestler Still in Jail!

2008_07_sandman2.jpgJim "The Sandman" Fullington, arrested for assault and other offenses when he acted out during a party for Captain Lou Albano, was denied bail yesterday, leaving him locked up in a Westchester County jail for three straight nights. The Journal News spoke to Albano's son Louis who explained the party was for his dad's new autobiography, "One thing led to another, and things got out of hand. That's the way wrestlers are." The Post suggests that Fullington et al. may file a complaint against the restaurant owner, who allegedly got in Fullington's face, prompting the pro-wrestler to go crazy. Captain Lou Albano's niece and manager Kari said she tried to get the staff to stop serving the Sandman, "The fight was both their faults, and [the owner] should have been arrested, too." Fullington will attempt to make bail again today.

Who is stupid enough to get in this guy's face and start talking smack? The owner should have been arrested for stupidity.

ECW ECW ECW ECW ECW ECW ECW ECW ECW ECW ECW ECW ECW!

Did he hit him with a collapsable chair? He probably didn't like having a real bottle thrown at him after spending years playing with fake ones while pretending to be an athlete.

i wish all book release parties ended in brawls.


where was Golddust? http://www.answers.com/topic/dustin-rhodes

JCB,

You must not have watched the original ECW. Those guys got bloodied up on a regular basis. There were barbed wire matches, broken glass, steel cages, and anything they could find to draw blood. Then they did these little character shots that emphasized how disturbed some of these guys were.

I don't know what McMahon has done with it, and I don't care, but that used to be the only wrestling show that mattered. :)

Now none of them do. :p

did he bring along his Singapore cane?

pretending to be an athlete.

Sounds like most baseball players.

what is Albano the Captain of?

Ass.

He was, during the highpoint of his career, an Ass Captain.

I read it on Wikipedia.

Wow, he's aged at least twenty years since the last post.
