----I wanted to post this from the Kayfabe Board, because a lot you that read the site do not read the board. In my initial report about this fight, I had to go on eyewitnesses for the first part of the deal with TJ. Motley Cruz [pictured] was there for the whole thing and this is how it was seen by him. Cruz and I were there almost side by side during the whole incident and as you can tell, Cruz thought I "bubblegum'ed" it when telling story. I have no reason to "bumblegum" anything about Brian Christopher - ask Brian - I am not one of his favorite people because of things that were written last year about him. I have never been a cheerleader for his actions and actually have been the opposite. Cruz and I were both in the "let them fight" and "Bishop you did nothing wrong" crowd, but after a few days since the event I might be more in the Dustin Starr "Both men were beaten to a pulp by one another. And for what reason? I can’t think of a single good one." crowd. [CLICK HERE to read Dustin's post]
----This all said and done, it also goes to show you that two people watching the same thing - sometimes see things totally different. By the way, thanks to Motley for posting this and thanks for the other night - if it wasn't for him those photos would have never been taken. Also, look for more to be said and written about this situation. I don't really see it ending anytime soon.
I am posting to set the record straight regarding the fight between Bishop and Brian Christopher, since the information on Rasslin Riot is the bubblegum , I am afraid to say something bad about Brian Christopher version.
The issue started after the match between Brian and Seth Knight, which was, by the way, a good match. Brian had issues with the ref TJ, who happens to be related to Bishop, and stiffed the kid in the ring. I give TJ credit because he was man enough to come to the locker room and confront Brian, punching him in the mouth for stiffing him, at which point Brian jumped on TJ, and Bishop stepped in and pulled Brian off and had TJ leave the locker room till everything calmed down, at that point everyone thought the problem was over.
Nothing else happened until Bishop returned to the locker room after a 20 minute match with Rocker, blowed up, and Brian Christopher sucker punched him in the mouth with a pair of handcuffs as he was walking thru the curtain. At that point Bishop speared Brian thru a thick wooden rail and Brian attempted to grab him in a front face lock and laid on top of him knowing that Bishop was blown up from the match, Bishop got out from underneath him and pinned him against the wall by the throat, and gave him a few choice words. Bishop was talked in to letting him go, and as Bishop was walking off, it occured to him that he had been sucker punch in the mouth with a pair of handcuffs and he got pissed off all over again, he then told Brian "your daddy isn't here to save you" and hit Brian in the face with a barbwired baseball bat (smaller than mine) and proceeded to beat his ass with his fist, until Brian was able to get on top and lay on Bishop again, bleeding like crazy from his face. They were again broke up, Bishop was still mad about being sucker punched in the mouth with a pair of handcuffs and went to his bag to get something to hit Brian. The two squared off again, Brian hit Bishop square in the face and did not budge Bishop, and Bishop was back on Brian beating the hell out of him again. Brian was again able to work his way on top and lay on Bishop, Dustin Starr walked over wiped the blood off Brian's face and pleaded for them to stop fighting, they finally seperated and that was the end of the fight.
Fights have been happening in locker rooms for longer than I have been in the business, this one was no different than any other, I have seen a lot worse. Brian was wrong for sucker punching someone, and Bishop put him in his place, and let him know he was the wrong mother f***er to sucker punch.
