TNA Talent Taken To Wrestler Court Over Airport Rib Submitted by Brad Ingles on Thursday, October 30, 2008 at 1:37 PM EST
TNA's Sheik Abdul Bashir played a rib on Kip James during a recent flight. Bashir told a flight attendant to announce over the loud speaker that James was celebrating his 65th birthday. Bashir was taken to wrestler court for being a new wrestler pulling a rib on a veteran. Brother Ray was the judge, B.G. James represented Kip, Brother Devon represented Bashir, and Simon Diamond served as the bailiff. Bashir was found guilty and order to supply the locker room beer and booze, which he did on Tuesday night.
The wrestler court has been taken serious in the past but this was a mock trial. One wrestler said, "It was a very good move for morale, which hasn't been the best lately."
