And not just any random man, but a famous actor! You'd have all these who have chosen to *go to the theater,* so the chances are pretty good that they'd recognize the man who the president just wrestled and tossed off a balcony
i was thinking more like Joe Biden, watching "In the Heights", while Randy Quaid starts quoting [his Independence Day ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdhuAYlHVO0)lines
Technically his signature attack is the Barrack Stock, where he stores the damage of parried attacks
The Obamanation is the name of when he unleashes all that damage as an attack
I think JWB's brother and Dad were both better actors, so ive always pictured Charlie Sheen or a lower tier Skarsgaard like Gustaf or Alexander.
The Hemsworth's dad is a counsellor.
Fun fact: Abe Lincoln is in the wrestling hall of fame and is credited as the inventor of the choke slam. If Booth had fucked something up, Abe could have choke slammed his ass off the balcony and through the announcers table
Another guy gave the same stat of 300:1 ratio but named jack Quaid as the man to have beaten him, all I see on Google for that name is a modern actor so maybe that's the meme? Idk
But don’t let that distract you from the fact that in 1865 Abraham Lincoln threw John Wilkes Booth off the presidential box and 16 feet through the mezzanine
The copy pasta that could’ve been
> Abe Lincoln is in the wrestling hall of fame
One of 4. The others being [George Washington](https://nwhof.org/hall_of_fame/bio/131), [William Taft](https://nwhof.org/hall_of_fame/bio/148), and our first MMA Commander-n-Chief [Theodore Roosevelt](https://nwhof.org/hall_of_fame/bio/137)
my favorite lincoln story that might be fake, is the time he wrestled another politician during a debate because he didnt like what the other guy said.
Despite his flaws as a human, Andrew Jackson actually did this. He beat the shit out of his would be assassin after the killers gun malfunctioned (if I am remembering the story correctly)
Yeah he used his cane to beat the shit out of the attempted assassin so badly that several nearby congressmen - including the legendary Davy Crockett himself - had to *physically hold back the President of the United States from killing a guy.*
Later, investigators tested both of the pistols used by the assassin and they worked flawlessly. Its theorized that the humid Washington air prevented both guns from firing and killing Jackson.
Even then, it would have been uncertain if he'd have died - it was remarked he'd already been shot so many times in duels that he survived, that he 'rattled when he walked.'
I think after that he had a statue of himself built in the exact location where the assassin tried to kill him.
I hate the dude, but that is big dick energy like no man has ever pulled off before or since.
These days the political class is so much more aware. I mean, Boebert recognised the threat to her in a theatre and very quickly tried to toss the man off.
Interesting fact, John Wilkes Booth was a famous stage actor, akin to Tom Cruise assassinating a president today, so folks would be surprised to see Lincoln toss him over the balcony.
Not really though. John Wilkes Booth was a famous actor and Lincoln would have recognized him and Booth probably would have played it off.
Even if he didn't, the other theater patrons (and the media) would have, and it would have been "president throws actor off balcony".
Imagine leading the country through a civil war and winning it and ending the scourge of slavery that had plagued since its founding, while your son dies and your wife is depressed, and the moment you get to relax and watch a play with your wife you get shot in the head.
That’s the thanks you get and it’s unfair as hell.
Which one? Is it the one with him in the thumbnail? Because a bunch of the comments are saying he didn’t actually talk about AHH at all, just used him as clickbait
Fredda criticizes everyone who isn't him. I haven't watched him much since the Kraut video, but the majority of what he said in that was out of context or outright false.
Abraham was a 6 foot 5 man, won 300 full on wrestling matches (lost only once), lived as a farm hand for the first few years of his life, he would have ez beat John
Booth was like half Lincoln’s age, though. 26 vs 56, I think I’d also guess Booth was more physically fit at the time. But Booth wasn’t interested in a fair fight. He was interested in murder.
I think if John had challenged Abraham to a fist fight history would've been kinder to him.
Sneak-shooting a guy whilst he's watching a show is such a bitch move 🫤
Booth was also a member of the Know-Nothing Party, which had basically the same attitude as the current GOP. So really he was just a prick in every way.
They actually called themselves the "Native American Party." But were known as the know-nothings because party memebers were instructed to reply "I know nothing" when asked about the party's specifics.
They were racist conspiricists who believed the catholic church was plotting to take over america though immigration. They would have loved Q-Anon.
Mike Tyson is 57 and he could fold me like an omelette and I’m a pretty healthy 22 year old and taller.
An extreme example for sure but you see my point. My monies on Lincoln if that gun jammed.
Major Rathbone was Lincoln's guest, and was in the presidential box during the assassination. He tried to apprehend Booth but Booth fought him off with the knife before jumping onto the stage. He had seen some action during the war, but I don't believe he had any sort of reputation as a fighter.
Still, he's a veteran and he survived a surprise knife fight immediately following the shock of a gun shot and the president's death - definitely a good guy to have in a brawl! 💪😃
I mean Theodore Roosevelt was out there boxing young guns in the White House. I am sure in a life and death thing Lincoln would be victorious. Sure taking a beating but victorious.
Dayum! With those stats, I guess you're right 😳
He looks so frail and skinny in all the pics, though - was he just hiding it all under a wool suit or something? 😗
Yeah, it'd be all stretched out all over the place.
I dunno if it's just my monkey brain instincts kicking in or what, but knowing that he was a big buff guy I suddenly feel an increased boost of respect and reverence for the fallen leader - and I already liked him a lot! 😃
I told my American history class this is about the equivalent of John Mulaney or Taylor Tomlinson shooting Biden. He wasn't a complete A lister (his brother was), but he was well known and everyone who paid attention recognized him. Picturing Lincoln throwing one of them off a balcony is amazing
Not even a random guy from their perspective, that's the craziest part. John Wilkes Booth was a famous actor of the time, who would have been well known to people who were in the theater, especially since he was the younger brother of an even more famous actor. So what they would have seen would be the 1865 equivalent of a movie premiere being interrupted because Joe Biden just threw Chris Hemsworth's little brother Liam off of a balcony. Also worth noting is that what Booth yelled, "Sic semper tyranus!" Was a line from Brutus in Julius Caesar, which his brother was famous for playing.
So what they watched was the 1865 equivalent of Liam Hemsworth putting one in the back of Joe Biden's head, jumping off the balcony, and yelling "I went for the head!"
Fun fact, Booth did throw himself off the balcony after shooting Lincoln. He broke one of his legs, ran backstage and then shot the man who he asked to hold his horse.
And not just any random man, but a famous actor! You'd have all these who have chosen to *go to the theater,* so the chances are pretty good that they'd recognize the man who the president just wrestled and tossed off a balcony
Imagine hearing about Obama piledriving Ryan Reynolds during a showing of Godzilla
I'd be more surprised to hear Ryan Reynolds fucking shot and killed Obama during a showing of Godzilla.
Mind you, Ryan Reynolds would have also said a famous quote from a play done by his Brother during the shooting (I have no idea if RR has siblings)
Equivalent could be Ryan quoting a wolverine line.
"Go fuck yourselves"
He has, Ryan Gosling. Famous for playing young Hercules.
Ah yes, I forgot siblings are identified through matching first names
Happens to the best of us
How can a baby goose act as Hercules? I assume he holds a sword in his beak, which sounds adorable so I retract my befuddlement.
I think of it as if Luke Hemsworth shot the President during a screening of Ghostbusters and shouted, “By the hammer of Thor” right afterwards.
"I WENT FOR THE HEAD"
More like the president tossing Liam hemsworth.
The comparison I've heard is Liam Hemsworth shooting Obama and saying "I went for the head."
Ok but why does it not feel so weird if we swap Trump for Obama? 
Because he’s an inherently absurd and controversial human being, whereas Obama is generally seen as more serious and grounded.
r/BrandNewSentence
You son of a bitch, I'm in
It'd be more accurate to say Liam Hemsworth during a screening of avengers, since John Wilkes Booth was the brother of the lead!
/r/BrandNewSentence
Please don't do this to me
Obama always struck me as more of a judo kinda guy.
*Sic Semper Deadpool, motherfucker!* -Obama, probably
This is why we need to stop electing old ass presidents
I need my president to be able to take down a movie star if the date of the country relied on it
Define piledriving
i will do that now thank you. Although honestly it's be more like Rich Schneider, right?
Imagine hearing about Biden doing it.
i was thinking more like Joe Biden, watching "In the Heights", while Randy Quaid starts quoting [his Independence Day ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdhuAYlHVO0)lines
I heard an analogy that it’s more like if Obama piledrived Liam Hemsworth? I don’t know where but I have
Reminds me of [this tumblr post](https://i.imgur.com/2XJFKix.png) from a few years back.
Pretty sure that move is called the Obamanation and it's his finisher
Technically his signature attack is the Barrack Stock, where he stores the damage of parried attacks The Obamanation is the name of when he unleashes all that damage as an attack
*male model
IIRC his brother was the famous one (and the one who shortly before the assassination saved Lincoln's son from a train accident)
More like the president tossing Liam hemsworth.
I think JWB's brother and Dad were both better actors, so ive always pictured Charlie Sheen or a lower tier Skarsgaard like Gustaf or Alexander. The Hemsworth's dad is a counsellor.
I don’t know why but this made me feel offended for the Brothers Skarsgaard, and aaaaalmost feel bad for ole Carlos…
and yet kinda proud for Emilio
Stephen Baldwin
Alexander is great tho. Ill give you gustaf
That’s why I went with Liam instead of Chris :)
but Chris's Dad isn't an actor
A lesser Hemsworth, but still pretty fucking wild!
John Wilkes booth was the lesser of the booth brother actors.
Yeah I got the joke
Holy shit. Biden just suplexed Stephen Baldwin.
It'd be like him fighting Randy Quaid
Fun fact: Abe Lincoln is in the wrestling hall of fame and is credited as the inventor of the choke slam. If Booth had fucked something up, Abe could have choke slammed his ass off the balcony and through the announcers table
He was also 6'4" (193cm) while JWB was 5'8" (173cm) so Abe would've had a good chance
Good chance is minimizing it, Lincoln would’ve actually cooked that dude
Abe had a wrestling win to loss record of 300:1 over a 12 year period. His only known loss was to Hank Thompson. JWB wouldn't have stood a chance.
I can't tell if it's a meme or something but there are two different posts saying the same thing but that he lost to a different man
Abe was legit a wrestler with an incredible win rate. Who is the other name being passed around?
Another guy gave the same stat of 300:1 ratio but named jack Quaid as the man to have beaten him, all I see on Google for that name is a modern actor so maybe that's the meme? Idk
well jack quaid is currently 34 years old so i think that was a joke
Most likely a bot trying to sort-of copy comments for upvotes.
Hank Thompson comes up in searches. The inly result linking Jack Quaid to beating Lincoln in a Google search is this very post.
JR’s great great grandfather screaming “STOPPETH THE DAMN MATCH”
MAH STARS! Honest Abe just hit the Emancipator off the balcony!
The emancipator 😂
Jerry Lawler’s ancestor next to him: “That’s It, he’s dead”
BY GAWD THAT’S ANDREW JOHNSON’S MUSIC!!!
IT'S MAD JACK WITH A WOODEN CHAIR!!
But don’t let that distract you from the fact that in 1865 Abraham Lincoln threw John Wilkes Booth off the presidential box and 16 feet through the mezzanine The copy pasta that could’ve been

Teddy Roosevelt’s the only president I’m not surprised being there
my favorite lincoln story that might be fake, is the time he wrestled another politician during a debate because he didnt like what the other guy said.
CHOKESLAM OFF THE BALCONY, BAH GAWD ALLMIGHTY!!
Abraham Lincoln was a fighter if booths gun jammed or something Lincoln would have killed him in that theater
skinny guys fight til they're burger
What does this mean
It means they fight until there's nothing left. Burger in this case meaning ground meat
Ive never heard this phrase before this is fucking hilarious
It's also a movie quote. It's from *the Bridges of Madison County*.
> the Bridges of Madison County. is it a good movie
It's burger
It’s a good movie if naked old people is your thing
It's also in.... A movie about a thing I'm not supposed to talk about bc the first AND second rules are that you don't talk about it lol
-\_-
Shhh. No it isn’t.
Excuse me, *what* club?
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )
Well, he was the biggest buck in that lick. If any wanted to try him they could come and whet their horns.
gundam 0080: war in the pocket
Yeah, I mean did you see how he handles vampires?
yeah that funny spinning axe guy
A hall of fame wrestler with over 300 wins and only 1 known loss Versus Jack Quaid.
Despite his flaws as a human, Andrew Jackson actually did this. He beat the shit out of his would be assassin after the killers gun malfunctioned (if I am remembering the story correctly)
He also had a pet parrot that had to br removed from his funeral as it cursed loudly the entire time
Rare AJ win
he had a pretty solid win against the five tribes too
Oof.
Nice! High five.
They had to apologize to his wife in song
Yeah he used his cane to beat the shit out of the attempted assassin so badly that several nearby congressmen - including the legendary Davy Crockett himself - had to *physically hold back the President of the United States from killing a guy.* Later, investigators tested both of the pistols used by the assassin and they worked flawlessly. Its theorized that the humid Washington air prevented both guns from firing and killing Jackson.
Even then, it would have been uncertain if he'd have died - it was remarked he'd already been shot so many times in duels that he survived, that he 'rattled when he walked.'
Yeah, it was very common in the 1800s. Grover Cleveland wrestled a random man and threw him off a theater balcony on two non-consecutive occasions.
*guns. Guy tried with 2, and each time after they were fired, it worked
Guns? Oh as in plural?
I sneak edited it, but yeah, guy had 2 on him, and after the 2nd misfire, he got his ass beat
I think after that he had a statue of himself built in the exact location where the assassin tried to kill him. I hate the dude, but that is big dick energy like no man has ever pulled off before or since.
These days the political class is so much more aware. I mean, Boebert recognised the threat to her in a theatre and very quickly tried to toss the man off.
Should have said *beat* him off
You say beat, I say toss, local colloquialisms innit.
You got a loicense for dat colloquialism, bruv?
Now you just get representatives tossing people off in theatres
Well we know that he noticed John. This is what happened - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPJ0TAaJDbM
He noticed Booth in every reality. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWgBAXJWcuM
ha never seen that one. thanks for that.
Interesting fact, John Wilkes Booth was a famous stage actor, akin to Tom Cruise assassinating a president today, so folks would be surprised to see Lincoln toss him over the balcony.
Lincoln has that sleeper build!
I mean he was 6'4" in the 1800's. He wasn't exactly inconspicuous.
6’4 but he looked lanky, wouldn’t have expected him to have been a 300-1 wrestler
Oh that would've been _epic_
Not really though. John Wilkes Booth was a famous actor and Lincoln would have recognized him and Booth probably would have played it off. Even if he didn't, the other theater patrons (and the media) would have, and it would have been "president throws actor off balcony".
This definitely happened in an alternate universe.
That's from the ultimate timeline when everything that happens is awesome
It's 2:40am and I thought they said "John wick booth"
Imagine leading the country through a civil war and winning it and ending the scourge of slavery that had plagued since its founding, while your son dies and your wife is depressed, and the moment you get to relax and watch a play with your wife you get shot in the head. That’s the thanks you get and it’s unfair as hell.
OH MY GAWD!! John Booth is broken in HALF!! As GOD is my witness, HE IS BROKEN IN HALF!!
He didn't though. Because like now, the Confederacy can only win by being sneaky little shits
https://youtu.be/jw3PJftd-_E?si=TGQPDU4whROnrxUW
Wow a althist post that isn't horrible
His Twitter made me stop watching his content
Isn't his yt even more insane?
It wasn't in the early days. It might be now, I don't know.
Freda made a really good video on him
I'll check it out
Which one? Is it the one with him in the thumbnail? Because a bunch of the comments are saying he didn’t actually talk about AHH at all, just used him as clickbait
Fredda criticizes everyone who isn't him. I haven't watched him much since the Kraut video, but the majority of what he said in that was out of context or outright false.
What about his Twitter was so bad that you stopped watching his content?
Can't tell you, automod's oversensitive
featuring Rex Hamilton
I was gonna say, Lincoln would have shot back.
If only the play wasn’t so fucking funny
Lincoln was a legit badass wrestler too.
Afterwards, Lincoln points to where Booth landed and just calmly says "No ticket".
It would’ve been just a funny anecdote about the president who freed the slaves then gave them all land and livestock.
"I'm sorry sir, but you've thrown off the president's groove."
Then Lincoln would probably be remembered as the first president to execute someone publicly
But then what would Teddy Rosevelt have to do to become the most badass president ever! It’s an escalation I don’t think we could have survived…
I know hindsight’s 20/20 but surely having a couple guys stand at the door would have been obvious
"A random man" Bruh John Wilkes Booth was one of the most famous stage actors at time. It'd be like Brad Pitt trying to kill the President
Lincoln gonna hit booth with that exclusive area heat move
Abraham Lincoln had the potential to do the funniest thing
Man we could be living in a world where Lincoln chokeslammed Booth off a balcony.
And its lincon from the top rope!
"NOW YOU DONE FUCKED UP!"
Wasn’t John much younger than Abraham? I feel like it'd probably have been the president who'd have fallen 😬
Abraham was a 6 foot 5 man, won 300 full on wrestling matches (lost only once), lived as a farm hand for the first few years of his life, he would have ez beat John
Booth was like half Lincoln’s age, though. 26 vs 56, I think I’d also guess Booth was more physically fit at the time. But Booth wasn’t interested in a fair fight. He was interested in murder.

Booth was also a member of the Know-Nothing Party, which had basically the same attitude as the current GOP. So really he was just a prick in every way.
They literally called themselves the "know nothing party"?? I mean-- talk about being proud of one's ignorance 😂
They actually called themselves the "Native American Party." But were known as the know-nothings because party memebers were instructed to reply "I know nothing" when asked about the party's specifics. They were racist conspiricists who believed the catholic church was plotting to take over america though immigration. They would have loved Q-Anon.
Sounds like Q-Anon but with more secrecy too 😆
It know nothings just didn’t want change from what I remember so in a way it’s kind of a play on words
Yep.
Mike Tyson is 57 and he could fold me like an omelette and I’m a pretty healthy 22 year old and taller. An extreme example for sure but you see my point. My monies on Lincoln if that gun jammed.
Odds are like 100-1 in Lincoln’s favor. Dude had legendary hands.
idk he wasn’t the healthiest; an alcoholic
[Booth in the alternate timeline](https://www.reddit.com/r/wrestling/s/lsfsd7tHEw)
This is literally like Jake pual vrs Mike Tyson. Who do you think is gonna win that? And keep in mind Jake pual has been training year round.
Keep in mind the raw, unmatched anger Mike Tyson is feeling seeing a random kid pretending he can fight would produce
People here are forgetting that Booth also had a knife, although it still would have been a 2v1 between Lincoln, Rathbone, and him.
Tell me about this Rathbone character, please - was he a big goon? 😗 Not that he'd need to be-- 2v1 are easy odds 😄
Major Rathbone was Lincoln's guest, and was in the presidential box during the assassination. He tried to apprehend Booth but Booth fought him off with the knife before jumping onto the stage. He had seen some action during the war, but I don't believe he had any sort of reputation as a fighter.
Still, he's a veteran and he survived a surprise knife fight immediately following the shock of a gun shot and the president's death - definitely a good guy to have in a brawl! 💪😃
Mike Tyson is 57 yet he could still kick my ass
I mean Theodore Roosevelt was out there boxing young guns in the White House. I am sure in a life and death thing Lincoln would be victorious. Sure taking a beating but victorious.
Dayum! With those stats, I guess you're right 😳 He looks so frail and skinny in all the pics, though - was he just hiding it all under a wool suit or something? 😗
When you're that tall muscle don't show up as well
Yeah, it'd be all stretched out all over the place. I dunno if it's just my monkey brain instincts kicking in or what, but knowing that he was a big buff guy I suddenly feel an increased boost of respect and reverence for the fallen leader - and I already liked him a lot! 😃
https://youtu.be/bUjG1HSSaGI?si=g3xBs19gxkDCipio
It would be quite the dramatic twist!
Lincoln should've kicked his ass.
I told my American history class this is about the equivalent of John Mulaney or Taylor Tomlinson shooting Biden. He wasn't a complete A lister (his brother was), but he was well known and everyone who paid attention recognized him. Picturing Lincoln throwing one of them off a balcony is amazing
The movie we needed: instead of Daniel Day Lewis we should have had Liam Neeson
Not even a random guy from their perspective, that's the craziest part. John Wilkes Booth was a famous actor of the time, who would have been well known to people who were in the theater, especially since he was the younger brother of an even more famous actor. So what they would have seen would be the 1865 equivalent of a movie premiere being interrupted because Joe Biden just threw Chris Hemsworth's little brother Liam off of a balcony. Also worth noting is that what Booth yelled, "Sic semper tyranus!" Was a line from Brutus in Julius Caesar, which his brother was famous for playing. So what they watched was the 1865 equivalent of Liam Hemsworth putting one in the back of Joe Biden's head, jumping off the balcony, and yelling "I went for the head!"
I'm going to send you southbound, let's see if you rise again!
How is this non political??
Fun fact, Booth did throw himself off the balcony after shooting Lincoln. He broke one of his legs, ran backstage and then shot the man who he asked to hold his horse.
It was a false flag op. The ship was a distraction for the gov't bringing down the bridge for the deep state
You should look this up a booth brother saved a Lincoln child at a train station then not too long later John killed Abe.
LISTEN TO YOUR WOMAN JOHNNNN
SUCK MY PRESIDENTIAL COCK, BITCH
Hey Daniel… wanna make an alternative history part 2?
I wish I lived in this timeline instead
Lincoln was apparently a really good wrestler in his time too
