so I came across this old John Stossel video... accidentally...

I was laughing pretty hard the first time I watched it, then 2nd time I recognized the voice.

ok maybe this could have gone into off topic.. :/

Stossel sued and obtained a settlement of $425,000 from the World Wrestling Federation (WWF). In his book, Myths, Lies, and Downright Stupidity, he writes that he has come to regret doing so, having adopted the belief that lawsuits harm hundreds of innocent people

I'll take 425,000 to get slapped right now! That does seem pretty steep. That wrestler was a tool though...

Ehh, i'm not sure of the legal decision but the wrestler certainly broke the non-aggression axiom

He was only protecting his industry. LoL. It worked to. Folks can't say that it wasn't real. On the other hand, maybe Stossel made a 50/50 deal with the guy. I would jack slap Stossel for $212,500.00

Why? i think the wrestler proved his point. Stossel called it fake, and the wrestler simply did something to Stossel that wrestlers have done to them hundreds of times. It was just an open handed slap. You can call wrestling "fake", but at the same time it requires a tremendous amount of physical exertion and they do get hurt and that part isn't fake -- the point made to Stossel.

I'm no fan of wrestling, but Stossel is an outright puss.

 

[Valli6]

I remember when this happened (in the 80's?). At first, I thought Stossel was faking being hurt - but then I saw some different video from a few minutes later, and you can see that there's actually blood coming out of Stossel's ears! So this is more than the "slap" it looks like here.

 

[Romulus]

Damn he got smacked pretty hard! At least he got up.. so he isn't 100% pussy. lol

 

[Tonewah]

I remember that, but I could've sworn it was Geraldo. Probably the mustache.

Guy fo sho knocked him down. Hope he's developed better reflexes since then.
