A lot of top pro wrestlers once wrestled in high school. We’re hoping that none of their matches turned out like this.

A father rushed the mat during a high school wrestling meet to attack his son’s opponent on Sunday. This saw him being carted off to jail.

The story, next at 6!

The wild brawl that was caught on video. In the end, 54 year old Barry Lee Jones was arrested and processed at the Carraburrus County Jail. He was arrested for simple assault and disorderly conduct. His son’s opponent was not injured in the attack.

He was later released on a $1,000 bond. FOX 8 reports that this whole mess started after his son’s opponent used an illegal move during the match.

Some parents should just wait in the car until their kid’s extracurricular activities are over.

I love pro wrestling and hate BS. These two things drive me. Years of experience in writing, journalism, and digging exclusive insider info for Ringside News. Worked in finance before realizing pro wrestling journalism made much less sense. Pro beachballs at pro wrestling shows, pro dives if someone catches, anti bullies, olives, and pineapples on pizza.
