Wrestling Stories YOU Remember But No One Else Does
This never gets brought up anymore despite how crazy it seemed at the time but I remember it being reported on news sites and fans in attendance witnessing:
Charlie Haas in ROH, while starting to get over with a pissed-off alcoholic gimmick, got into an argument backstage whilst drunk and punched the significantly smaller Grizzly Redwood, breaking his nose. This was right before he was set to go out and work a squash match, so he went out and grabbed a mic, telling Kevin Kelly to go fuck himself and threatened to “beat the hepititis out of Nigel”. He then worked the short match and let the local jobber pin him, before announcing that he quit. The segment was kept off the show’s DVD.
I think this was 2013, so I’m probably forgetting the exact way it all apparently played out, but I never forgot reading about this wild incident, although I’ve very rarely heard any reference to it since. I think Grizzly alluded to it when sharing a photo of his broken nose. Does anyone remember this story or have anything similar that for some reason no one brings up anymore?
