Another little tease from my upcoming book


Security was on their toes stationed between the dressing room and the ring watching for signs of trouble when here he comes, Bobby bolting out of the dressing room running straight towards the ring. The crowd was on their feet yelling and screaming and it seemed for a moment he had made it there safely and security was prepared to get all involved safely back to the dressing rooms. As Bobby hit the ring the referee was calling for a disqualification, the time keeper was ringing the bell, then it quickly became obvious that there was quite a bit of blood on the ring canvas. Someone was bleeding very badly, but who? About as soon as Jack and Bobby jumped out of the ring there was no doubt. It was Bobby with blood gushing out from what appeared to be between his legs! As soon as he got back to the dressing room, leaving a trail of blood from the ring, he was immediately rushed to the emergency room. I don't think anybody knew exactly what happened, not even Bobby, but later it became clear. At some point during the excitement someone had slipped underneath the ring, right behind the ring post where they knew Bobby would be coming, and as he was jumping into the ring they thrust a knife upwards into him, catching him with one leg in the air as he jumped! The knife had hit a artery on the inside of his upper thigh, about as close as it could come to where I think you can imagine the assailant intended, then he or she vanished into the crowd and out the door. It all happened so quickly. That was a night when a fan's emotions could have easily become deadly.
