And Here I Thought Getting Thrown Through a Barber Shop Window Was Only Reserved for Wrestling

Share This Post

If you say ‘barber shop window’ around any red-blooded pro wrestling fan, you’re going to invoke a lot of strong emotions. In case you don’t remember, it was the pivotal moment in WWE legend Shawn Michaels’ career…the moment he stepped away from The Rockers and onto his own as “The Heartbreak Kid.” He literally threw him through the barber shop window. But, that sort of thing is only reserved for pro wrestling, right?!?!

Courtesy of wsoctv.com:

A man got more than his hair cut, when an argument with the barber over the style led to the man getting thrown through a glass window, police said.

The 33-year old victim was not satisfied with his haircut Thursday and threatened not to pay, according to the New York Daily News. In response, the barber at Levels Barbershop, in Brooklyn, pushed the man, who fell through the shop’s front window.

Wow – talk about life imitating art, amirite!?!? Turns out you can not only use the barber shop maneuver to split up with a tag team partner. But, you can also use it as a customer service technique to handle mouthy customers. Wow!

This guy also obviously has a switch like a motherfucker. Audibly dissatisfied with your haircut? You’re going to get thrown out a damn window, and that’s that.

Deal with it.

“He didn’t see the push coming. All his body weight went through the window,” Free Small, 39, another barber at the shop, told the Daily News. “I would have fixed the dude’s hair for him for free. Especially if I knew it was going to be a problem.”

“If I would’ve known he would’ve thrown this guy through a window, I would’ve fixed his hair for free.” Yeah, that’s a nice sentiment, but where were you, Free? WHERE WERE YOU!?!? And, yeah – I don’t blame the guy for not seeing the push coming. That’s not something you typically prepare for in a place of business.

The barber who pushed the man then fled the shop. Other barbers at the shop said they do not know the man’s name or how to reach him, according to the Daily News.

Man, these other barbers are real ride or die bros. You don’t know the name of the guy who’s cutting hair alongside you?

Okay.

I hope the rest of the SoBros pretend not to know me if I ever push someone through a window.

Here I was thinking the ol’ barber shop window trick was only reserved for the confines of pro wrestling. We all learned something here today, kids.
