Why do you say that?

Low volume of activity?

People acting like douche bags?

Perhaps people spewing too much truth?

[GrayGhost]

Combination of number the last couple, tho the truth is subjective. It's still the best board going tho, Id venture to say, on an overall view.

[Skip McGee]

i clicked on this hoping for more drunken sandman stories and instead i get a bunch of crabby old ladies bickering like children

[GrayGhost]

Sandman is a drunk, and Id venture to say, worse. His schtick has gone beyond entertaining to sad. I think Trent Acid threatening kids w a superkick in the streets of Philly was bad too. I just don't have too many good stories, cept some of these guys are a mess.

Did he stomp his foot repeatedly on the pavement to telegraph the move?

[Skip McGee]

hahahaha

[GrayGhost]

No..hahahaha. Poor kids on a bike, and Trent just ran into street and started "superkicking at the bikes./kids". This was a few years ago, but funny if u were there, as we were..haha.

[the_truth]

From the files of: When Living the Gimmick Goes Wrong. The worst part is, I can see him being the next "untimely death of a professional wrestler", but the media won't look into his history of self destruction and see that he was in trouble before he even got into wrestling. They will just report that another wrestler died of substance abuse and, at one point, he worked for the WWE, so it must be their fault.

[Masked Superstar VI]

Serves acid right, hes had it coming to him for years.

[neo blastin]

This is so sad. He used to be such a great talent, and over the past few years he has just slowly deteriorated to nothing but a has been, with his recent behavior and attitude twoards his career!

He was a drunk back in the days of the original ECW, so I'd say it's been a lot longer than the last few years.

QFT. but at least in those days, he could entertain, and have some crazy matches. Now, he's just a parody of himself, and a very sad case. The man needs to get help, and leave the wrestling business too. Hes hurting himself and the fans and his co workers for who he works at the show.

He might have entertained and had some crazy matches but the result was he had to be a drunk to do those things which led him down the path and got him to where he is at now.

OH I agree Nef. I can never justify the kind of behavior that Sandman has had, and sadly, he is paying the price. Its sad, but yet it's not, at the same time, least that's how I see it.

Well it is sad but in the end it all comes down to the choices the guy made. Sadly without the being drunk gimmick, the guy would have never been as known as he was.

[DavidDeacon]

Any Futurama fans out there?

Does he not look kinda like Human Bender?

EDIT: Found this on Wrestlecrap. Looks like I'm not the only one who thinks so

[Volture]

yeah I thought that when I first saw that episode and a lot of my friends thought so too. Someone claimed they comment on it in the dvd commentary but that is false.

- James Fullington, otherwise better known as The Sandman was arrested last night in a restaurant in Yonkers, NY, for going extreme, throwing glasses at the people who worked in the restaurant. Police quickly were on the spot but the beer drinking Sandman decided to throw glasses at them injuring two of them. The Journal News newspaper reported that the officers suffered cuts to the hands and arms. The owner of the restaurant took the law in his hands and decided to fight fire with fire and threw a bottle of beer right in his face. Eventually cops managed to subdue the former ECW original. He was transferred to jail in Valhalla for psychiatric evaluation and charged with a second degree assault, a third degree criminal mischief, resisting arrest and second degree reckless endangerment.

07/23/08) YONKERS - Former professional wrestler the "Sandman" was ordered held without bail Wednesday after a judge saw his rap sheet. The judge decided to hold Sandman, whose real name is James Fullington, based on the Pennsylvania resident's two prior felonies in that state. Fullington's children left the courthouse in tears after learning of the news. "Even if the judge wanted to [release Fullington], he wouldn't do it," said defense attorney John Lewis. "His hands are tied by the law." Fullington, 45, was celebrating the 75th birthday of former professional wrestler Captain Lou Albano when he was arrested Sunday. Police said he threw drinking glasses at the staff of La Lanterna, a Yonkers restaurant, after he got into a run-in with owner Ralph Tarone. Tarone allegedly hit Fullington on the head with a bottle. Tarone now has an order of protection to prevent Fullington from returning to the establishment. The Sandman's attorney calls the order of protection routine. "Where there's any suggestion even of … possible violence or a clash between two people, … to keep everybody away from each other they'll issue these orders of protection," Lewis said. There are also allegations that the restaurant was asked to stop serving the Sandman alcohol when the celebration began to get out of control.

[Skip McGee]

damn he got messed up

[Randy Orton]

When did the Sandman start drinking??

[GrayGhost]

He started at the age of two. Hes always been a drunken lush. The place was supposed to stop serving him booze when the party got out of hand? Sandman was probably liquored to the hilt when he got there.

On a serious note, I feel bad for the kids, to have a father like this. He may be a good dad to them, yes, but this kinda shit will embarrass them and all too. Not to mention Sandman may end up going over the edge, tho does he really care anymore, I wonder?
