"Heeeeyyy yo...I'm in jail"
Dave Meltzer is reporting that former WWE and TNA wrestler Scott Hall has been arrested. Apparently he got upset during the comedy roast of The Iron Sheik. Jimmy Graham, a comedian who has wrestled, and made a remark to Bill Apter, "Bill Apter, you're deaded than Owen Hart." Hall, who had been drinking, was furious about the disrespectful joke and threw punches at Graham until he was contained by security. More information will hopefully come out soon.

Yea, can't really blame him at all. That line was extremely disrespectful and I have to give props to Scott for standing up to that bullshit, whether he was drunk or not.

I hope everyone who is outraged in this thread is as equally outraged by every other bit of disrespectful humor in the world.

Jimmy Kimmel made a joke about Chris Benoit at a roast and no one seemed too outraged about that.

Cunt = Pussy. Sounds like you're the cunt. It was 9 years ago. What? Too soon? The joke was about Bill Apter anyway. All that guy was state that Owen Hart is dead.

Chris Benoit still had people who cared about him and those people would still be offended by a joke about him. Those people didn't do anything to anyone so why is it ok for them to be subjected to offensive humor, but it's not ok in this case?

And yeah I would probably be offended if someone made a joke at a dead loved one's expense, but you tell me which is worse: telling an inappropriate, offensive joke at a roast or making a drunken spectacle of yourself and physically attacking another human being.

I'm going to take middle ground here. Comedy should not have subject limits. It's not what something is about, but how it is about it. I've seen people make Owen Hart jokes on these board -- it's not that big a deal. Yeah, it's a tragedy that Owen Hart died. World War II was a tragedy, too, but I've heard people make jokes about that, as well.

I've been around people when they have (unknowingly) said something that would qualify as being offensive to me. I don't make an ass of myself by attacking someone, looking like a drunk fuck and nearly getting into some serious trouble with the law. A good friend, you are tempted to defend honour, but you can do that by A) being funnier than the dumbass comedian making awful jokes, or B) using your words and telling him to shut the fuck up about it because it's tasteless, and not the right time, place or venue for this topic matter.

Also, the joke was apparently "When Sheik and Hacksaw Jim were caught snorting coke in the parking lot, Sheik's career fell quicker than Owen Hart." Or something closer to that. That's what I read from this Jimmy Graham guy, who has seemingly taken too many head-shots from his time as a wrestler. He wrote something on his MySpace which makes him seem like an idiot (he says he loved "Owen Heart" as a wrestler and as a man). Too lazy to check the video to see if it's that or the Bill Apter one.

In closing, Jimmy Graham doesn't sound like the funniest man, and seems to substitute shock matter and insults for wit and actual humour, but Scott Hall's drunken reaction was just as primitive, if not more so.

You don't make jokes that will offend your audience. Whole point is to make them laugh.

Whether the joke is funny or not aside, where is that offensive to Owen Hart? Last I checked he is in fact dead. Was it a secret?

Being serious. I don't see where the joke was offensive. This whole thing comes off to me as Scott Hall looking for some attention.

It didn't have to be about Owen Hart. The main issue is less that Owen was brought into it specifically, and more that the joke was terrible. This isn't without precedent in roasts or in comedy in general; no person is off limit strictly for being dead or the circumstances. But when you make a joke about a corpse, especially one who died tragically, you'd damn well better make it funny.

Just to preface, I'm not "outraged" per se. Doesn't make the joke funny, mind.

Now, this is the first I've heard about the Kimmel "joke." I neither know the context or the specifics, but I'm betting it wasn't funny, either. Mostly because Jimmy Kimmel isn't.

Then again, we probably wouldn't be hearing about this "joke," either, had Hall not gotten his panties in a wad. Perhaps letting the joke die on its own would have been a better idea.
