John Stossel from 20/20 asks ....

 

Is Wrestling Fake?

 

Who's the guy who hit John Stossel? That's "Dr." David Schultz!

 

 

At the time Schults was working as an employee of the World Wrestling Federation, Schults' encounter with Stossel happened while Stossel was backstage doing a story about professional wrestling's secrets. During an interview Stossel told Schults that he thought pro wrestling was fake and Schults' response was to slap Stossel twice, knocking him to the floor. Stossel filed a lawsuit against the World Wrestling Federation over this, and settled out of court for $400,000.

 

Although he has consistently maintained that World Wrestling Federation officials told him to hit Stossel, Schults was fired, but unlike many industry insiders believe, it was not because of his actions against Stossel. Rather, Schults was fired for challenging Mr. T to a fight backstage at a WWF show at Madison Square Garden. He wrestled for a time after this. This was short lived and he retired from professional wrestling soon after. He also has made a career as a professional bounty hunter as well.

 

Schults briefly reappeared in the spotlight in the early 1990s when Vince McMahon was accused of illegally distributing anabolic steroids. Schults was called as a witness to testify against McMahon at the trial. Vince McMahon was found not guilty of most charges.
