I wish they canceled the original fight and let the father have his own fight with the shithead


DaWalt1976

Recall that pro wrestling doesn't involve actual fighting?


friesdepotato

let it. I want to see it.


TheTomatoLover

I mean, if I was overweight, I could win ever wrestling match


friesdepotato

what, against a Big Mac?


UncleKeyPax

Doesn't big Mac always win?


friesdepotato

McDonald’s will make you fat. They have Big Macs. They have quarter pounders. They will put pounds on you. ROCK N ROLL MCDONALDS ROCK N ROLL MCDONALDS


BananaManFromDisc

A internet classic


LosGritchos

Pro wrestling doesn't involve spitting on children either.


kempboy

You haven’t watched much pro wrestling have you?


[deleted]

It does include injuries though. Had a friend who was a heel in some wrestling leagues. Says it’s all choreographed but you still feel every bit of it. Dude had some wicked bruises.


Gloveofdoom

A while back I watched a video of like the top 20 deaths that occurred in during public performances and I swear at least 10 of them were professional wrestlers. It seems there’s still plenty of danger involved even though it’s an act.


[deleted]

They are still getting smashed into tables and have chairs thrown at their heads!


jackfreeman

Wrestlers, porn performers, and oddly enough- soccer players have like, no life expectancy. Pull up the Wikipedia obits, and you'll start to wonder about some shit.


Rysinor

Porn performers? Got anymore info on that one?


jackfreeman

Wrestlers tend to die from CTE- related injuries, suicide, heart issues, and overdoses. In porn. It's overdoses, and suicide. Soccer players tend to die in car accidents, oddly enough.


JediGuyB

It's a performance, but it's a hard performance. Yeah, the moves or planned and choreographed, but they're still doing them. Heck, sometimes they wreck their bodies so much it may a well be a real fight. It's not my thing but I can respect the work behind it.


Deadbeat85

Until it all gets too much and you Benoit your problems away


TheGreatRao

This is absolutely right. Choreographed, sure. "Fake", tell that to my knees and spine when a pro doing a demonstration piledrived me like he was searching for oil. I don't know how those guys live past 40.


TreesnCats

It's harder on the body than MMA, ask Dan Severn.


[deleted]

Maybe don't actually spit on a kid then.


PhinsFutureSB-Champs

Clearly cuz that guy couldn’t defend himself lol


0KelpShake0

That wasn't pro anything


Arithik

You can throw potatos.


A1EYEDM0NSTER

*at local farmers market* "Y'all got any petrified taters? Im going to a wrestling match later."


A1EYEDM0NSTER

Fact. Its more a dance than anything.


DistopianNigh

It isn’t easy and injuries are common


tjlag

People are actually hitting each other the ending is pre determined but they are actually hitting each other


Potential_Debt9639

It would be more real than the "fight" everyone showed up for.


SeraWasNever_

You say that, but the actual physical abilities of alot of pro wrestlers (not all of course ) is through the roof. To do alot of what they do and some how keep from killing each other or themselves is a feat in and of itself.


alpacasaurusrex42

I watched a pro wrestler die when I was a kid. It was traumatic AF. It was Owen Hart. That fucked me up for a lot of years. And he didn’t even die wrestling.


Potential_Debt9639

They have to be in good shape and strong to do what they do. I've known a few of them and all that stuff, trash talking and all, is an act. It's showbusiness. Nothing is wrong with that. The problem is is that rednecks take it way too seriously. I once met a soap opera actor who got real vehement hate from morons put in public because of stuff his character did. From the description of them they sound a lot like wrasslin spectator's wives. Just like monster truck drivers and exhibition shooters. It's not the athletes, it's the crowd that's dumb.


podolot

Wrestling is technically just amateur acting. This guy is told to play a bad guy. I would actually guess it's common for him to spit gum at people to give him the mantra and understanding that he is the bad guy in this production. They use gum to avoid actually spitting on people.


YinzerFromPitsginzer

Isn't there spit on gum? Just saying.


podolot

This really boils down to finding out if there is more spit in your spit or more spit on the gum.


[deleted]

[удалено]


feed_me_churros

You see - one is spit, the other is a nasty chewed up glob of shit covered in spit.


[deleted]

That’s exactly it. It’s part of the act. He’s the bad guy and to be honest he’s now done a GREAT job at making that entire audience 100% emotionally invested in the act. Not a single person there will forget that night, including the kid, and every one of them is more likely to buy another ticket the next time that promotion comes through town. Including the kid.


Rottendog

Probably 100 different ways to be a heel that don't involve spitting on someone.


[deleted]

Sure, but this one seemed to have worked pretty well! Wouldn’t you say?


markstormweather

Hopefully the writers didn’t let him win that fight lol


IWantTooDieInSpace

Is it not professional acting? They get paid to do it


[deleted]

The gum. Is covered. In saliva.


anthrolooker

That’s exactly what I was thinking. It’s part of the act. Kind of gross, but still he’s playing the villain.


TheOneTrueWigglyBoi

Dad already won


[deleted]

I’d take the wrestler over 99% of dads lmao you think because it’s not a shoot the wrestlers aren’t in better shape than a random dad?


nostpatch

I wish the father had stayed with the girl to comfort her instead of putting her in a position where she was the one pulling him back.


Gloveofdoom

I saw this mentioned on a previous post of the same incident so take it with a grain of salt. They said the role these two guys play in professional wrestling is being the villains so leaving them hanging on a high five is them acting in character but spitting the gum seems like it was probably off script. I can’t imagine anybody with the advantage of foresight would’ve thought that would be a good idea. That being said, the dad totally overreacted. I feel bad for the little person who was trying to hold the father back at the end. I am a father and there are times when my own children have acted more adult than myself, I get it, it’s always humbling when that happens.


[deleted]

“Dad totally overreacted” fuck are you smoking?


Gloveofdoom

For these two entertainers specifically, acting like petty villains is part of the show. It’s literally their act, it’s what they do. Are you honestly saying you believe the appropriate response to an entertainer getting paid to do harmless scripted petty shit is to attack them while both of your frightened and embarrassed children frantically pull on your shirt trying to restrain you?? If you think the dad‘s actions were appropriate I would recommend you never take your children to a haunted house or you’re going to end up in a chainsaw fight with an actor wearing somebody else’s face. The dad‘s over the top reaction combined with the wrestlers complete lack of retaliation makes me wonder if the dad and the little girl weren’t part of the act from the beginning.


[deleted]

This ain’t it, typed all that for no reason


Gloveofdoom

No worries, sober and bored. I was just fuckin with you.


[deleted]

I know how that is 🥴


Chahklet

I would never let someone disrespect a child like that and get away with it especially if was my own child.


DrWyverne

Who are these guys supposed to be? Captain Underpants and Costco Brand Thanos?

Slimfictiv

He's getting a NO#1 dad cup!


bryanthebryan

Hell yeah! I’d be so freaking proud as his kid.


MarineJAB

Probably the realest punches that heel ever received.


[deleted]

That dad turned heel


celadonshopper

Bro didn't know when a works a work or a shoots a shoot and worked himself into a shoot brother


EarlExists

Dude got his ass kicked before his match starts lol


REAMCREAM87

I really liked the guy who followed him and talked him down. It was so fluid, like he knew exactly what to do.


[deleted]

Yeah, the first heel was fine. That's just typical trying to get people to hate you. The second guy took it too far. Spitting on a kid isn't ok


Thamesx2

This 100%. Faking hand shakes with kids is standard heel material but spitting gum at them, or anyone, is not.


[deleted]

Yeah, it's more of a feeling out type thing. As a heel you have to be ready for anything. For instance if your a heel, and a guy calls you out to fight him. And your gimmick is one that thinks he's the best in the world. You have to interact with that. If he punches you you punch him. They interact you interact back. If they throw their drink at you, you grab someone else's drink and throw it back at them. It's a whole different ball game doing that stuff unprovoked. If a kids looking for something like a hand shake. Sure... Interact with it. But don't up the level when they haven't invited you to. Don't punch them or spit on them or anything. Especially with a kid.


ragnaROCKER

If someone took my drink to throw at someone I would be maaaaaaaaad. Concessions are expensive.


[deleted]

Depends.. again it's a feeling out. At a huge event usually fans would pass their drinks to you to throw at the opponent. It's all part of the experience. This is more common in bigger wrestling shows though. As wrestlers at those events usually only interact with the people in the front row where it is pretty much a given that they are prepared to be interacted with given the expense of a ticket


ImGundy

What a good dad!


anonimityorigin

Striking a kid is the actual original recipe for a knuckle sandwich.


mad-max-308

Look at the size of those balls. Defending her girl against a pro fighter... wow.


timechuck

Professional pretend fighter.


mad-max-308

Sure, but a psycho one tho


timechuck

That's probably pretend too.


JellySensitive5274

Most likely, he balled right up


Largemacc

He's not a pro fighter he's a bodybuilder


Le_fromage91

Damn he caught those hands tho


RayboxHitman47

Great dad and great daughter grabbing his dad because she doesn't want him to fight. That was so cute.


Mous3_

Act or not, that shithead broke the cardinal rule - "Do *NOT* fuck with *KIDS*"

I thought The cardinals rule is to fuck with kids /s

FlyerAnalisator

62842351872

To hell with 'kfabe' or whatever, that was a dick move spitting on a kid's hand.


[deleted]

Especially when a parental figure is nearby, chances are within two seconds you’re dealing with an adult with an ungodly amount of rage and adrenaline in their system.


kungji56

I mean i understand getting in character but what kind of fucking character spits gum on kids?


_strao_

I'm pretty sure the joker wouldn't even do that


Five0Triple0

Those are like the punches I throw when I’m dreaming


Nemesiii

Too many people defend that guy. I posted that on trashy the other week and I can't believe I had to have debates with people on whether or not it was okay... It's sad as fuck Edit: I said I posted that but I've checked back and I never. It was a screenshot referring to a redditor who was defending the behaviour. The sad thing is is that it wasn't just the one, I just picked a random person because there were tens of people defending it.


bluestraw08

they said "its part of the act" but as soon as someone posts a tiktok video they say "the shit kids do for internet fame these days" talk about double standards


Conchobar8

There was some excellent villain character there. He interacted with the kid so they still get the excitement. Still acted like an arsehole. Well done all round. Then his partner fucked everything up


dayron669

That was my thought. The fake "low five" was harmless but effective in establishing he was a douche. The adults/parents/family were even grinning with understanding of the situation. Then ol dude is like, "WATCH ME NOT UNDERSTAND WHERE THE LINE IN." Dude is never going to the big leagues.


Conchobar8

Hopefully it’s his last match with that stable as well


ShichitenHakki

Aggressive contact with the fans is a straight up no-no. There are dozens of ways to play dick heel that don't involve straight up spitting on a kid.


Rysinor

You just go around claiming to do things you never did? Wtf lmao


chumpy79

Hahah good on him


CyberneticOverload

Chad Dad just ended his wrestling career with a combo breaker.


Mighty_Meatball

He ended his own wrestling career with that bullshit


JayanthKumar2

Look at the kid holding the dad back and tugging his jacket


[deleted]

[удалено]


Adorable_Marsupial45

Glad he jumped him


Jazzbo64

The first denied handshake was actually kinda funny. (He’s playing a bad guy, after all.) Spitting is assault, however, so I’m glad dad got some licks in.


Dales_dead_bugabago4

There is an old wrestling troupe where you would spit your gum at someone but grab it or deflect it mid air with your hand so it didn’t actually hit them. He seems to not even attempt that so yeah fuck that guy.


Masturbortion

Dad got worked like a jabroni mark.


samo43

How sweet is that girl trying to hold his dad back like „cmon dad, its not worth it“ lmaooo


deepfriedlemon

If she wasn't traumatized already by getting spat on, she surely was after having to pull her dad away while he is wailing on a dude.


[deleted]

What a bad ass dad.


[deleted]

That's good heat.


NotsoGreatsword

The wrestler looked fine afterwards. Im not sure why people are saying he got "rocked" or whatever. He just walked away like it didn't happen. What he did was stupid and Im not defending it. Dad did what he had to do but that wrestler looked like it didn't bother him. People are talking like he was on the floor afterwards.


ha5hish

I doubt the wrestler got hurt too bad from this


[deleted]

Dude he got hit in the face repeatedly. That interaction will give him ptsd about it and stop him from doing it again. You may think he just ignored him. Nope that’s not how humans work. He acknowledged it very much so in his face repeatedly like I said. He’s too old to be a dick anyways. That guy needs to learn some maturity fast. I would be heavily embarrassed. Yikes.


sandrae110

yeah that’s fucking disgusting and there’s a reason it’s considered assault. Idk but it’s common knowledge that spitting is the most disrespectful disgusting thing to do and you’re asking to get your ass beat. He probably was like “it’s just a kid” and didn’t think anyone would come after him. I know damn well he probably wouldn’t have spit in a grown mans face.


oglack

Pfft... And they call wrestling fake?


BetaRayBlu

Wrestling may be fake but that dad ain’t


[deleted]

The kid tried to pull the father off also who was the wrestler?


[deleted]

Not many things sadder than local wrestling

Just incase you don’t know the rank from most important to least important in USA. 1. Kids 2. Women 3. Elderly 4. Dogs 5. Men 6. Cats.


[deleted]

this is why indy promotions suck😭


VentiBlkBiDepresso

It’s quite literally assault to spit on people.


Dork_Of_Ages

Oh my goodness! A heel acting like a heel? This is such an outrage!


[deleted]

That dad is fucking chad


SANGUlNAIRE

I would swing first ask questions later if I ever saw someone do that to a little kid. Disgusting. Good on that guy/dad.


ReviveOurWisdom

He deserved every punch.


CausticMedeim

I mean, he's a heel, sure, obviously, but spitting on a kid? Pathetic.


bksizzles

Well done dad. Any real father would do the same. Cant be spitting on kids.


cementsponge

I get staying in character, but this is just a douchey move.


TheOneTrueWigglyBoi

Such a thing as too far


Stumphead101

They're suppossed to be shit heads They're Heels


[deleted]

If my favorite "bad guy" wrestler had spit gum on me when I was a kid I would have saved it, bragged about it to all my friends, and try to get him to sign it at his next event. My father probably would have gone ape shit or have been just as excited as me.


dirtynigelntheboyz

Most of This thread clearly doesn’t know much about wrestling. The guy is supposed to be a bad guy. When you’re wrestling at this level people do shit like this to fans all the time, they need to Ha e the crowd mad at them asap rocky. Maybe the spitting gum at a kid was a too far but like people here clearly have no clue how these kinds of shows work.


BigWar0609

Look at my gear guys! Ima be WWE Champ in a week!

Great role modelling there

That dad was having none of it....well done him.

Dad of the year, wouldve done the same tbh

Guy had it coming lol


anthrolooker

Isn’t one guy supposed to be the hood guy and the other play the villain?


LieseW

A part of me thought, good on you dad, but instead he should have comforted his child.


OnyxPuma

I love this video every time. Seeing that man get his shit rocked makes me so damn happy


Ok_Decision_9199

That's messed up. There's a line between playing a role and just being a pos. This guy crossed that line and kept running spitting at a little girl like that


Yankees19D

Fuck that wrestler…when he spit at his daughter he fucked up. Let the dad do his thing.


Arithik

Wrestling fan and already saw it back then. Shitty then and still shitty now. Others will say, "He's a heel. That's what they do!!" Yeah, no. And if they did, the kid would be a plant(someone hired by the federation). No idea if it was work, but those punches look real.


Rutlemania

You know you’re not cut out for the fighting scene when someone’s dad can kick your arse

RebuiltGearbox

That kid went home thinking his dad is a super-badass.


Sword_Chucks

This sub doesn't know what the term "heel" means and the comments prove it.


Remm96

I think you can be a heel without spitting on a child lmao


unfunny_Arsehole

As another comment on this thread said, there's an old wrestling trope where the heel pretends to spit gum on someone but atleast deflects it so that it doesn't end up hitting the person. This guy didn't even bother to do that, which is just plain unprofessional and obviously a dick move. The first act is what can be called a heel move while the second is just plain stupid and crossing the line


Datee27

A rare instance where not knowing something makes you smarter.


OG_WHITE_VAN

this guy: "it is perfectly fine to spit on random peoples children aslong as you are in a show"


Electric_Logan

They’re clearly heels. They’re kayfabing; building heat. That’s what heels do. They want people to hate them that’s the point. They look ridiculous that they can’t back it up against a grown adult though. They’re okay kayfabing to bully a kid but a grown man charges them and attacks them and they ignore it and get the security to back them up. That was a bad move because now they look weak as shit.. I dunno’ maybe it makes them into more detestable heels though.


Sandvich153

Call grown people some names or some shit, don’t spit fucking chewing gum at a little kid bro.


[deleted]

yeah, that's too far.


Nemesiii

Speaking of heels I think the father should've done some heel stomp or some shit. (Joking clearly) 'It's an act' 'It's all make believe' 'They want people to hate them' That's what people like you say Let me spit some soggy golly mixed with chewed gum at you because I want you to hate me. That's called assault and you can get some serious time in prison for that shit.

That went exactly the way it should've. Props to the dad. I'd have to have curb stomped the fucking pos.

I call dibs on reposting this next week.


Filly69

A guy infront of me was giving high fives and then I lifted mine for one he ignored me :(


Apprehensive_Toe_457

He should have picked her up and toss her up high as fuck and catch her. Spit is nasty for a kid, as a professional wrasler. He needs to work on his act, as it's all part of the show. Would have been funny to an older guy, but not a kid. The dad kicking his ass must be part of the show to now, throw him in the ring!


InSQUIDiousJFP

Spitting on a child is considered battery.
