Now that's a big fight out
By ANDREW PARKER

BOOZED-UP kickboxers fought an unscheduled bout with American telly wrestlers — in a posh hotel lobby.

Terrified guests dived for cover as the fighters squared up after a martial arts show, sending feet, fists and glasses flying.

They watched amazed as the boxers lashed out with a flurry of acrobatic spinning kicks and punches, while the touring grapplers hurled their opponents around the reception hall.

Ex-world kickboxing champ Kash "The Flash" Gill — 6ft 3in and 11st 6lb — claimed he was dragged around in a headlock by 22st, 6ft 5in wrestler Dave "Demon of the Deep" Bautista, 36.

One boxer was thrown over a table full of drinks and another over a baggage trolley before the row spilled outside.

A car park security barrier was smashed before police broke up Sunday's midnight fight at the Hilton Hotel at Birmingham's NEC complex.

The punch-up followed a kickboxing exhibition match for 500 guests, organised by 37-year-old Kash.

He said: "It had been a great night, but one of our tables was a bit rowdy after having too much to drink. In reception one of our blokes accidentally bumped into one wrestler and said sorry straight away.

"The wrestler said, ‘You will be' and it all kicked off. The wrestlers were all giants and three of them had one of our blokes on the floor.

Kash ... held hotel bash

"I ran out to try to calm things down, but next thing I knew one wrestler had me in an armlock and was throwing me around like a doll.

"Somone told him I was a kickboxing champ and he backed off. But it was quite nasty with a couple of bloody noses and ripped shirts and T-shirts all over the lobby.

"It was probably the boozers on our side who started it, but the wrestlers didn't use their strengths in a professional way and were out of order."

One hotel worker said: "It was mayhem for about 15 minutes. The boxers were saying wrestling was fake and that the big guys couldn't fight — so they just grabbed them."

A World Wrestling Entertainment spokesman said: "Our guys were checking in when the boxers began making remarks. They weren't happy."

Police confirmed officers were sent. A spokesman said: "We sorted it out without any arrests."

Batista is one scary-looking MFer

I'd hate to fight Batista, that guy is a beast! I wonder how good his gas is though...

4

TTT I would have paid to see that!

TTT for the security camera tape!!!!

5

I'm not too concerned with his gas when he could just powerbomb me to death in 5 seconds anyway. =\

different type of cardio imo

Was Lee Murray in the middle of this? Batista is one huge mofo, I dont care how skilled you are, he'd be a handful to say the least.

Agreed with bobby, the only other factors that you could throw in their are the effects of being hit and nerves.

I would imagine that it looked pretty much like any other bar brawl just with larger guys. Skills go right out the window after a few shandies

it was a work

I read another report on a pro-wrestling site that said the pro-wrestlers got involved when the kickboxers were harassing a pro-wrestling ref.

Oh, and a 98 pound BJJ blue belt would have submitted all the kickboxers and pro-wrestlers in 2 minutes flat.

I was an Indy pro wrestler for three years and I worked matches for CWO (Central wrestling Organization) IWF (Indy Wrestling Federation) as well as RMCW (Rocky Mountain Championship Wrestling) I've worked matches with Roddy Piper, Jimmy Snuka, Honkey Tonk Man,  Tiki (one of Afa and Sika Somoas cousins) and Horace Hogan. 

  All of these guys were VERY strong and I would not want to get into a down and out brawl with any of them. Snuka was a lunatic and his grip was freaky powerful (he is very sick these days and a shade of what he once was).

I might have been able to pull of some shit against these guys especially in an all out brawl, but don't think that just because they were "fake" wrestlers that they could not fight....

Bautista used to be a bouncer and beat some dude into a coma. He would be more than a handful for anybody not named Arlovski or Fedor.

krycek , I'll buy you a blue name if that happens!

I think Sean is going to do well. I have trained with some of the guys he was working with when he was down at OVW.

I've been told that his hands were pretty good and that people will be suprised by how good his legs are. 

You up for a bet????

Natural athletes are always going to adapt to sports better than fat and skinny kids.

Prowrestlers could fight and carry the torch of MMA into the next century but they would rather make millions.
