From today’s Wrestling Observer update by Dave Meltzer:

James “Sandman” Fullington was arrested last night at the La Lanterna restaurant in Yonkers for throwing glasses at employees of the restaurant. When officers arrived, he started throwing glasses at them and two officers suffered cuts on the hands and arms. He was subdued and charged with second degree assault, a felony, third degree criminal mischief, also a felony, second degree reckless endargement and resisting arrest. He was taken to jail for psychiatric evaluation. According to an eye witness, police pulled guns on him in the incident at the birthday party for Louis Albano (the one and the same). Fullington was bleeding badly as the owner of the restaurant to try and subdue him threw a beer bottle which hit Fullington in the face.

For those of you that aren’t into wrestling, Fullington’s “Sandman” character is a violent alcoholic who likes to hit people in the head a lot. It’s nice to see that, in an age when the internet has ruined the suspension of disbelief that used to be such a vital part of wrestling, someone is still trying to protect kayfabe.

But even that act of monumental stupidity isn’t enough to earn Fullington the title of “Celebrity Idiot of the Week”…

So much for fact-checking. From KHOU-11, a Houston television station that I am sad to say is headquarted mere blocks away from my home, comes this:

WWE chairman hurt in freak accident

KHOU.com staff report

HOUSTON — WWE Chairman Vince McMahon was injured in a freak accident in San Antonio Monday night. Just moments after giving away $500,000 in “McMahon’s Million Dollar Mania,” McMahon was crushed by a large electric sign that fell from the AT&T Center.
The extent of his injuries was unclear, but he was rushed to the hospital. WrestleMania officials planned to update fans on McMahon’s condition at a press conference in Houston Tuesday. WWE stars were scheduled to be on hand at the Toyota Center before filming SmackDown and ECW at the arena.

Here’s the “accident”:

Perhaps you’ve heard that Vince McMahon, Chairman of the WWE, is giving away $1 million to lucky fans every week in an effort to boost struggling ratings for Monday Night Raw. Last night was the first night of the sweepstakes, and lucky for us, it took place live during the show. Let’s take a look at how it went:

Yeah, that’s right–Vince McMahon got Rick Roll’d on live television. That, as they say, totally reeks of awesomeness.

The chihuahua was a nice touch:
