Interesting Fact: Mr. Saito, or Masanori Saito was a world-class, freestyle wrestler having competed in the 1964 Summer Olympics, in Tokyo, where he placed 7th in the heavyweight division.
Let's be real here. Honestly, I think the cops did just randomly mace him because they felt threatened because he was fucking huge. I can imagine this happening just because of the amount of cocaine running through the world at that time, the situations and how hostile people were.
It was 12:30 at night they have no obligation to serve him food when they are closed. And they were busy filming the commercial.Ken should have ate food when the restaurant was open instead of getting drunk.
They should’ve stopped on their way to the hotel while in the taxi. Then they could’ve pounded down a few QP each and also it would helped absorb the later drinks!
Dick Slater got beat up by a smaller guy outside a bar in Clearwater, Florida. I witnessed it. Dick Murdoch was the king of tall tales when it came to bar fights. He must have been in a fight in every bar in Florida. It was his way of getting marks to buy him drinks.
What year was it that you saw Slater got whooped? Also are you saying Murdoch would basically brag and tell people stories of getting in fights so marks would buy drinks to hear more?
Funny how his fellow wrestlers are all looking at each other- "So it was some unnamed kid- that supposedly was a disgruntled former employee yet was somehow never identified- that threw the massive boulder through the window, huh Ken?" 😂😂😂
Now that was funny. I miss those guys. I watched them in my entire youth. Went to many AWA Matches with my father. My father was built like them and was friends with many of them.
Patera is such a great storyteller here! Funny guy. He was one of the very first wrestlers I had ever seen, in television, at that point, in 1981. He has always remained in my top 10 all time favorites along with Dusty, Blackjack Mulligan, DiBiase, Vader, and others.
Rreminds me of when Ken was getting released from prison. Everyone in the was hyped up by the fact that Ken's first appearance in the WWF after being released was going to feature him attempting to break the worlds bench press record. Hulk Hogan wasn't having any of it though as he chimed in "Pressing weights, Pressing weighs, that's all I'm hearing about Ken Petera. Brother, let me tell YOU! The only thing YOU been PRESSING is LICENSE PLATES!"
so thats why he went to prison lmfao. wen i was watchin wwf he had jus com bak to wrestling from prison. i remember they would always talk about it but i never new why he went to prison
the one thing that makes me believe he was telling the truth is when he said he didn't see the ex-employee throw the rock. If he were lying he probably would of said that he indeed did see him throw the boulder.
Any truth to his account? He was at a bar, McDonald's, and a hotel in Wisconsin. About 45 years ago, Ken wrestled at an arena in my area. The month before a big, stupid high school kid hit him from behind when he was walking to the ring. This night the same kid, apparently, tried it again. I got home in time to hear on the 11:00 news that the kid survived but was at the local hospital. No charges filed. Lesson: the element of surprise places a heavy emphasis on SURPRISE.
Aww, too funny. Oddly= I remember this happening, it was on the news when I was a kid, but I had heard they got in a fight AT a McDonalds and busted the place up. Look at Greg Gagne. And Brunsell. The high flyers were one of my fav's. I grew up in MPLS so the league that played on TV was the one they were in, I don't recallt the name. Great memories when wrestling was fun and full of characters.
Patera is not being honest its said patera threw the rock then cussed at the mcd employee and said if you got a problem im at so and so hotel . How do you explain how the police were able to find patera so fast
Reporter: "Uh huh Ken, sure, so what color was the kid's hair?" Ken Patera: "The color of the kid's hair was the color of any typical kid's hair color of the early 1980s."
I could really tell that Madusa, Brunzel and Gagne believed him. He seemed to have very good recollection for a guy who had 6 or 8 scotches after not eating all day. I think that someone from creative wrote his lines.🤣😉
All the lights were on and he was hungry. I've gone to a fast food joint late at night and weren't sure if they were open or closed cause the lights were still on.
Why wouldnt Mcdonalds go be in our commercial and give him some of those hambugar and his story could be true you dont know , i had something close thank goodness for cameras or i wouldve got in trouble . I highly doubt he would throw a rock threw a window , now punch the window but a rock sounds like a kid
Some ppl are pathological liars . Practice something your whole life whatever that is you get good at it . I spent time in the wilderness there's no mcdonalds or hotels

What's so interesting about that? Tons of wrestlers have a background like that. They're not pro wrestlers just because 😂
@@jakeencinas2389is there any thing you have done that is more interesting than competing in the Olympics, Jake?
Ken Patera is comedy gold. The dude is hilarious.
Nailed it 👌
Yep I used to go to his gym in Minnesota. 💪
He's got that old fashioned 'off the cuff' no hesitation' truth
6:22 his laugh breaks me.
Without even trying to be funny. He can kill a promo as well as Luger.
Let's be real here. Honestly, I think the cops did just randomly mace him because they felt threatened because he was fucking huge. I can imagine this happening just because of the amount of cocaine running through the world at that time, the situations and how hostile people were.
If I ever saw a man running at me being that huge and high on coke, I’m not taking my chances
@bigboi2128 Exactly right? I wouldn't doubt he knocked out 16 people. He's fucking massive
@@GlerpidyGlarson honestly, if the cops were scared of Tyson after biting that dudes ear off mid-fight, can’t imagine this was anything different
@@bigboi2128 If I saw tyson running at me I would fucking be gone.
Ken never did coke. He just drank a ton and used painkillers.
Ken made me laugh so hard I cried listening to him tell the story 😂
Ken Patera, wow ... great legend of the golden age of wrestling. God Bless him.
Ken Patera was a beast when he was young I believe everything you said about beating the cops up he's a badass
Not only that, but Saito was in the class of Harley Race and Meng as far as toughness
He was at McDonalds, but he sure told a Whopper!
The right thing to do would have been to offer to make Ken a couple of burgers.
Yep💪
It was 12:30 at night they have no obligation to serve him food when they are closed. And they were busy filming the commercial.Ken should have ate food when the restaurant was open instead of getting drunk.
@@rudistorm3348 If only you could have been there.
They should’ve stopped on their way to the hotel while in the taxi. Then they could’ve pounded down a few QP each and also it would helped absorb the later drinks!
Laughing is probably the only contagious thing that feels great.

I Remember seeing Ken on strongest man..he carried an engine block quite far!! 💪🇺🇲🇬🇧✌️
I remember seeing likes of Ken, Franco Columbo, Bruce Wilhelm on CBS production of WSM
He could overhead press 500 lbs
Wasn't as strong as Bruce Wilhelm..
@@asphaltcowboy7567 not so sure about that bro...✌️🇺🇲🇬🇧
Gagne can’t believe him but he is trying, looking like Greg from the Brady bunch. Haha
This isn't a Story about a Man named BRady..Who married a lovely Lady...
I spent some time with Kenny in the early 90's... He is an awesome man. Kenny's story has changed over time.
The look on Jumpin Jim’s face is hilarious
3:39 Regardless of legitimacy, I loved how nonplussed he was to witnessing the rock getting thrown.
5:39 This is now the church scene from Kingsmen.
Plot twist: Ken was in the squared circle at the time of the incident and all the cops were hired jobbers.
Funny how his fellow wrestlers are all looking at each other- "So it was some unnamed kid- that supposedly was a disgruntled former employee yet was somehow never identified- that threw the massive boulder through the window, huh Ken?" 😂😂😂

I was in high school when this happened both legit Tough men Ken beyond Strong ...this is the funniest story Ken tells ever

Was that Medusa? Wow! She aged well
Agreed.
I thought just the opposite. Just my opinion.
Epic. Just remember, this is 'Merica!
If you watch the zapruder film closely you will see there must have been a second rock thrower coming from the grassy knoll.
The only problem with the story is that nobody would be mad after getting fired from McDonalds.

Mr. Patera is asked about this legendary incident all the time when he is a guest on various podcasts!
Why did you end the video so abruptly, Vice? You could have at least developed a better ending scene than that.
Because they clipped a scene from the episode
Patera hates telling this story but damn it’s one of the best stories ever.
I never knew Ken Patera was wild like this😊
Im just loving these ❤
The rock supposedly weighed 300 lbs, no kid was throwing it through the window.
Where did he get that from?
30-40 lbs
so thats why he went to prison lmfao. wen i was watchin wwf he had jus com bak to wrestling from prison. i remember they would always talk about it but i never new why he went to prison
How do you watch the full episode?
I don't believe a word he says, but I'm still on his side
the one thing that makes me believe he was telling the truth is when he said he didn't see the ex-employee throw the rock. If he were lying he probably would of said that he indeed did see him throw the boulder.
I was one of the few people in the world to have gotten fired from McDicks too. But im autistic so that place was a nightmare and a half honestly.
There is also a great Patera Story when he knocked a guy down (deservingly so) at Howard Johnsons. Look for that one.
I wonder if he met Darrel Brooks up in Wakeshua
Any truth to his account? He was at a bar, McDonald's, and a hotel in Wisconsin. About 45 years ago, Ken wrestled at an arena in my area.

They have cameras all over. Why didn't ya....!!
If McDonald's was closed for over an hour, why was an employee still there in the first place?
Should've left a "We're closed " sign on the glass.
They were filming a commercial he said
I would have had Patera autograph my landscape boulder, then name a burger after him.
Bro acquired +1 to bicep
I've heard of the "Keystone Kops", but these cops are the cordwood cops...
Start stakin' the bacon...
Waukesha is a big city compared to where I grew up in Wisconsin population 800 no motels anywhere within a half hour drive except maybe Waupun.
I love hearing the old wrestling stories but I’m sure with time, they all get spun a little.
I bet if Sid snapped out of anger he’d smash ten cops too

Six or eight bottles he meant.
Waukesha is one town over from me and I never go there...
Okay well thats definitely not my definition of a street fight 😂
What are the names of everybody being filmed? I only recognized Vern Gagne and Kenneth Patera.
Madusa (Debrah) Micele, Diamond Dallas Page, Jim Brunzell and Greg Gagne (in addition to Ken).
@@tresfielder3148Thank you my friend.
@@judahsoremy9857You're more than welcome my friend! Happy Early New Year to you and yours!!
A McCraving turned into a McBrawl, LOL!!! >_
Madusa is unrecognizeable
Patera should have received more prison time for having the nerve to wear that sport jacket in court.
Cant believe bill Murray was there
Who said that?
@@THATGUY-ir4ieI think he was talking about Greg Gagne.
Patera is not being honest its said patera threw the rock then cussed at the mcd employee and said if you got a problem im at so and so hotel . How do you explain how the police were able to find patera so fast
Ken wheeze laughs like i do. What a great story! Some of the cops were good, ROFL
There was no kid who threw that boulder 😂😂😂
Got to be honest...I reckon he threw the bolder haha
Biggest lie I’ve ever told. Everyone there looking at eachother is like “do you hear this bullshit?”
I've heard this story before but the person telling it said Ken Patera broke the window.
I wouldn't have booked ya.
Even Ken had to laugh at that.
It's that Diamond Dallas Page beside story telling Ken ❤😮😊
is that Monsson off to the left?
Is like 16 cops vs batman or venom😁super hero👍
Reporter: "Uh huh Ken, sure, so what color was the kid's hair?"

Okay Kyle.
Imagine being an old man and talking bs like that
He'd still kick your ass.

Mr Saito did all the ass kicking
Shame McDonald's doesn't do sushi!😂😅
@@peterbulloch4328 thats racist
@@TheKilodead4 I apologise to the Scottish.
@@peterbulloch4328 ok man
I don't get it. Why would Mr. Rice-A-Roni do all the ass kicking?
Ken reminds me of a few compulsive liars I know 😂
Wasn't there a police dog too.
We are supposed to believe that story? Not gonna work for me brother…
Greg Gagne should keep his mouth shut, you never know about Patera even now.
Well that was cringy. Watching a group of people make themselves laugh.
What can I do for you people 😅
Idk all the cops where pretty good guys 😅.
I love ken
And remember Bobby henin did nothing for Ken Patera lol
Why is courtney cox there
That's just a peppered up story . Drinking , cussing , and living an egotistical lifestyle with all the drama is not the way to live .
#pigs are always going to be pigs, I mean what do you expect? 5:35
laughable at best wrestling career, but he was facing andre the giant.
seriously though, who breaks a mcdonalds window and blames vince mcmahon?
McDonald's would have gotten sued if he was given those stale burgers and caught a food related illness.
I wouldn’t get in the way of Ken and a quarter pounder!
Patera keeps narrating the story, doesn't give a monkey's about their laughing at the F word he uses.
If a place is closed just walk away and save yourself the trouble.
All the lights were on and he was hungry. I've gone to a fast food joint late at night and weren't sure if they were open or closed cause the lights were still on.
@@jimh.412Had a similar thing happen to me in Sacramento California (circa) 1992.🙈🙉🙊
After 4, or 6, or 8 scotches...you think he walked so easily?

No way anyone will believe this story.
It's "saw", not "seen". 'MERICA!!!
Thanks mom
So Ken's just a bully then
f.t.p.
Ducie is still hot!
Why do I only believe about half of what he just said
Someone had a rock inside the building and threw it threw the window to the outside. Of course. That makes sense.
Ken had awful looking hair back then
Some ppl are pathological liars . Practice something your whole life whatever that is you get good at it . I spent time in the wilderness there's no mcdonalds or hotels
Waukesha is a medium sized city. I lived an hour away and we didn't even have a stoplight in our whole county back then. Now there is two.
