An Army soldier was charged on 12/6 with the beating of Shawn Michaels (Michael Hickenbottom) in the 10/13 incident outside a Syracuse night club.

Douglas Griffith, 23, was charged with second degree assault in the beating and will face a court appearance on 12/14. Griffith, stationed at the Fort Drum U.S. Army base in Watertown, NY, is being accused of beating Michaels senseless. Griffith is alleged to be one of four or five serviceman who attacked Michaels in a wild brawl that involved approximately nine servicemen and three pro wrestlers (Michaels, Davey Boy Smith and 1-2-3 Kid). According to the police report, Michaels was passed out in the front seat of the car in front of the night club when he was pulled out of the car and had the car door slammed on his head and his head slammed into the car several times before Smith was able to get out of the back seat of the car and give him a measure of protection and finally the bouncers from the club chased the assailants away.

Initially both Michaels and the World Wrestling Federation declined to press charges in the case, despite going on television and saying the opposite, perhaps because of fear that if the incident gained a lot of publicity, they would face embarrassing publicity that Smith was out with Michaels when the two were feuding, and in fact saved him from a worse beating. A few weeks back, Michaels changed his mind and pressed charges.

Some dude on a random forum I saw said he met that Griffith dude years later and he talked about it

So there's this guy that comes into 7-11 quite a bit and we shoot the shyt now and again. Few days ago he comes in and there are some punk kids standing outside (yes, I am going somewhere with this before a mod gives up and moves the thread) and he says "God, I'd love to just hit them but I'd probably get arressted and there's a few out there". I replied with "Hit the biggest one square in the jaw, that'll knock him down. Good shot to the jaw takes anybody down". He says "You got that right, I remember being in a bar in New York awhile back when I was in the army and one of my buddies knocked out a big wrestler with just one punch to the jaw". I said "Oh shyt, really? Who?" and he replied "Shawn Michaels"

Well of course I went on to ask where exactly the bar was and as I expected he said "Syracuse". Turns out this guy was there for the Syracuse incident so I started asking more questions about it. He said "Shawn Michaels, that 1-2-3 Kid guy and Davey Boy Smith came into the bar. Must have been when Shawn Michaels was World Champ or something because he had the belt with him (I didn't bother tell him it was the Intercontinental title), anyways there was about 20 of us G.I.s on weekend leave and some of us brought our girlfriends. Shawn Michaels decides to try and pick up the girlfriend of a G.I. about my size (couldn't be taller than 5ft 8 and 175lbs soaking wet) ignoring the G.I. right beside her. Well this guy gets pretty pissed but keeping composed tells Shawn that they're together and could he just leave them be. Michaels starts acting like a big shot, tells him just who he is, says he's got back up (pointing at Waltman and Davey Boy) and that he's going to take his woman back to the hotel. The G.I. gets pissed, starts yelling, Michaels pushes him and the G.I. proceeds to punch Michaels ONCE in the jaw and knock him silly. From there the guy started stomping on Michaels and kicking him in the head with steel-toed boots. 1-2-3 Kid made the bartender call the cops and then ran outside to flag them down when they got there. Davey Boy did nothing and no other G.I.s did a thing. In the end the guy got arrested, had to pay Shawn's medical bills after Shawn sued and he's also barred for like from WWF things. He didn't care about that part though because he thinks wrestling is gay."

So there ya go. One G.I. beat up Michaels for hitting on his girlfriend and being a prick. It wasn't 300 marines throwing the guy into the hoods of cars or anything. Just some steel-toed boots repeatedly into the side of his dome.

Thought everybody might find that interesting though.

So he was awake and caught them beats indoors? There are so many variations of the story. One thing's for sure, Bret never got beat up at a bar
it's :duck: breh

Every person I've heard tell the story mention British Bulldog intervening. That story says he did nothing.
