I thought Fortress is a long-time industry insider?
PS - more details on that drunken fight please. Sounds interesting. Are you sure you are not confusing Fortress for Mike Quinn?
No, he’s speaking the truth. Partially.
I was working an inside door upstairs in a club, and a guy (muscular and a good inch or two taller than I) who I’d expelled earlier, returned. Him and his mate charged up the stairs, at the top of which I stood, with my left side to the landing, and he sucker punched me good. Rung my bell. I stayed on my feet but was temporarily “blacked out”. Several seconds.
He immediately ran back down the stairs and out the front door. A guy yelled to my colleague he’d smashed me, so he gave chase, caught him about 50 feet down the sidewalk, dropped and boot-kicked him in the melon.
(My fellow bouncers there were a solid bunch. Mostly. Wink, wink.)
Ambulance took him away.
I still have the pic I snapped of him on the gurney. I’d recovered as good as new within a minute or so, walked out of the club and was smiling at my assailant and his bloodied and ruined mug.
