Years ago, when I was doing professional wrestling, I witnessed probably the worst beating I've ever seen in my life. It all stemmed from someone taking revenge on another person.
There was this guy that had zero training, & he was absolutely careless and reckless in the ring. He had zero concern for the health or safety of his fellow workers. I had a run in with him once during a battle royal for APW in Milo, Iowa. He went up behind another worker and legit hit him in the back of the head as hard as he could. The other worker went down grabbing the back of his head, saying, "Dude! This is supposed to be a work." He responded, "I gotta make it look real." Which was contrary to what he was actually doing. You make it look real, you don't actually really do it. Especially hitting someone in a vital area like the back of the head. Anyway I grabbed him, pressed thim up over my head & threw him out of the ring. He said that he wasn't ready to go out yet, but I didn't care. He had already hurt one guy, he didn't need to be hurting anyone else.
A while later he was put into a match with a trainee, who had a lot of potential. A good kid, with the good attitude that I think could have made it pretty far had he not gotten injured by this idiot.
During the match, the guy dropped the trainee on his head doing a very risky maneuver that he never should have done. As a result the trainee messed up his neck and his shoulder, as well as his clavicle really bad. It more or less ended his professional wrestling career before it even began. There was no guilt or remorse on the other guy's part at all. He treated it like it was a part of the business of professional wrestling and as if those things just happened. He took no responsibility or accountability at all.
Fast forward about 2 months later and the trainee's brother and the guy who had hurt the trainee are in a six-man tag team match. 3 on 3. Only when the idiot was tagged in, suddenly it became a five on one match.
It went from being a work to a shoot in a matter of seconds.
It was like a gang beating. They beat him senseless. We're talking full-fledged punches to the face & picking him up and just tossing him.
Two of the guys held him, while the trainee's brother took a chair and hit him on the head about three times harder than Stevie Richards hit Bradshaw the night he gave him a receipt for what he had done to the Blue Meanie. I've never seen someone get hit so hard.
The idiot never knew what hit him. He was knocked silly. From what I heard, he had some people take him to the emergency room. He never came back to any of the shows that I was ever a part of. I never heard or saw from him again.
Nobody felt sorry for him and no one was mad at the other guys for what they did. He was a reckless, careless and above anything else he didn't care about what he had done to the trainee. So everyone's response to situation is that he got what he deserved.
