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.
