Former Wrestling Star Brutally Beaten By Six Men

According to CBS Los Angeles, former WWF wrestler Tom Magee was viciously attacked in front of his home over a parking spot.  Magee, now 59 and a neighborhood watchman, was attacked by as many as six men.  Magee suffered a broken jaw, a broken eye socket and a concussion.

A unnamed witness and local resident described the brutal scene, stating, “They were literally kicking him, punching him in the face and in the head.”

She said six men attacked Magee and ran off when other neighbors came outside in response to hearing the chaotic scene unfolding outside.  The neighbors rushed to Magee and found him incoherent.

“To me, it was attempted murder. If we wouldn’t have come out here I don’t know if he would be alive. To look at his face if you saw his face right now and saw what they were doing to him, he’s really lucky to be alive,” the neighbor said.

Update: Two of the six attackers have been arrested and charged with assault with a deadly weapon.  Magee is out of the hospital and recovering at home.

In the 80s, Magee had an incredible look and Vince McMahon wanted to make him a top star, but he never rose within the industry. However, Bret Hart carried him to a miracle match which fans have wanted to see ever since. To date, this match hasn’t been released.

Here’s a match featuring Magee that was released:

Opinion: Over a parking spot? That’s where we are today? Magee was never a big star in wrestling but he’s still infamous for that one match, which is something that will likely see the light of day at some point. He certainly looked great and if he had even the slightest bit of competence in the ring, it wouldn’t have shocked me to see him getting a huge push at some point in his career. Hopefully he’s fine though as no one deserves something like this for just trying to make his neighborhood safe.
