Bouncers back in the day in the 70's and early 80's were brutal. Seems they got away with breaking a lot of bones. Then the clubs started to get sued in NJ after stories broke in the paper of patrons ending up in hospitals. Some of the clubs were mob owned like the one I worked in as a janitor during college. Now they are much more restrained. The bouncers loved to dog pile on the rabbit with people back then. They would ponce as a unit. They did send a chill into many.
I think it was around 1981 or so. I was in a huge dance club. Three big separate bars and a dance floor. Loud as hell, dark with some crazy lights on the dance floor. I'm out with two friends. One Mr. NJ and a college buddy. I'm standing by the edge of the dance floor watching the hot chicks shake their ass dancing. I'm bopping to the music. I'm shoved from behind. I think nothing of it. The place is packed. It happens again harder. I turn and I realize a guy is shoving me. He then blows me a kiss as an added insult. I hooked him once and he was out on his feet but I wanted him down so I continued. He drops on the dance floor unconscious.
Then all hell breaks loose. I see all the bar tenders hopping the bar heading toward the dance floor. I walk fast but I make sure not to run toward the exit. Bouncers are running past me as I yell there's a fight on the dance floor. I make it out knowing I would have been in the ER if they got their hands on me. I sat in my car with the clutch pushed in ready to peel out of the parking. Then nothing. The parking lot is dark and quiet. I'm sitting there for around 30 minutes or more. Then I see my friend the bodybuilder come out. He said, "Where were you? There was a big fight and all the bouncers and bar tenders were all over the place." He also threw in, "The KOed guy's friends were searching the huge club for the guy." I told him, "It was me."
Going back to college a girl said to me what I did was cruel. All she saw was me hitting the guy. Never saw the intentional shoves nor the mocking kissing face. Now with age I would have removed myself from the situation but being a 20 something kid it was like it's go time. Again regarding the bouncers they would have broken a lot of bones in my body for fun if they got me. They never fought one on one. It was always a team effort.

Darren's probably seen this, but this was a good look at Bouncing in the 90's, and the people it attracted -
.
The guy that was starting his own security company, Eric Mojica, was later murdered by Stephen Sakai, a low budget serial killer that thought he was a ninja -

I was a bouncer in college. Very early 80s.
Bouncing in a nightclub/bar with hundreds of people requires a team of bouncers.
We had a team of 5-7 guys on busy nights.
You work together and when a fight happens you help each other out.
The place would be standing room only and a line waiting outside to get in.
This was the time of the 18 year old drinking age and smoking in bars.
I did not smoke but would cough up black phlegm after a night. Like smoking a couple packs of cigarettes.

Worked as a bouncer in my teenage years around mid 2000s. Alot of the good bouncers lost their licences due to assault charges even in self defence. The law was coming down hard on bouncers due to a sporting legend being hit and killed by a bouncer.
Remember punching a guy who took a swipe at one of the bouncers, guy fell back and smashed his head on the pavement. Sounded like an egg breaking, thought my life was over in that moment. Sinking, crippling feeling.
Fellow bouncer didn't make it any better, wanting to rob him as 1hr earlier guy had hit the jackpot on the slot machines and had 800$ in his front pocket.
-
I remember being at a bar called bleachers in Salem mass maybe 25-27 years ago and there was a bar across the street called maybe scuttlebutts not sure but I remember seeing a bouncer who was a monster and had enormous shoulders. Turns out it was Mike arvilla. I remember posting about it on here and Mike was like yeah that was me hahaha.

Did bouncing off and on for many years.
Hundreds, if not thousands, of shifts.
Too many brawls and fiascos to count.
Spent a couple of years as the sole doorman at a strip club, too. Nothing like being the only security when shit goes sideways. If I was really having my ass handed to me, one of the peelers would tell the greasy cook to get his ass, fry pan in hand, up front. He saved my bacon a few times.
Just fantastic eating shots from five directions.
What a life.

I worked the door for years in a strip club..........lucky to still be here.
Every Sat. night a bike gang would come in and raise Hell.....the manager who was the owners brother only worked Saturdays and would send me over to tell those guys to calm down......they would look at me and basically ignore me......I hated him cuz they were just noisy not troublemakers, but I always had to go say something to them which they didn`t really appreciate.
One night as they left one of the gang says to me....."You got big balls for a little guy"....then he shook my hand......thought he was gonna sucker me but he was cool.
Been in lots of crowded bar brawls and got the shit kicked out of me a few times.....one good thing was I had a ton of friends that hung there for backup.
One time before work me and another bouncer,a small Philipino guy everyone called "Pineapple" did some pink Peruvian flake Cocaine with this guy.....we got zooted and went to work and got in a huge fight...........the next day I looked Like Donald Fucking Duck.......my face was a mess,but we won as Pineapple was a black belt in Tae Kwondo plus we had tons of friends in the bar.
I got hit so hard that I almost went through the cigarette machine.....if the machine wasn`t there,I would still be backpeddling....that guy hit me fucking hard! ;D
Crazy times to say the least.

Thanks Rob....it was a crazy time.
I`ve got tons of stories......one about a group of US Army soldiers we brawled with,another huge brawl where one other bouncer calmly walked around just spraying mace in people faces,that one ended quickly,jumped over the bar one time on two fat guys that both had sweatshirts on pulled over their heads punching each other......I closelined them both (I got lucky),then come to find out one of the fat guys was the owners son who worked their on occasion,he was pissed but we tossed out the other fatass together then had a beer and a laugh about it.....another fight at 3 AM at a Howard Johnsons Restaraunt.........guy told me to eat shit and bark at the moon,I threw a coffee cup at him then all Hell broke loose.......was almost like a saloon fight in an old western movie LOL.....lots of crazy stuff. :D

I bounced for a few nights but couldn’t handle it. I just hate drunk people when I’m not drinking. I have helped many a bouncer when I was just a patron, they would call on me sometimes and when I walked in they would ask if shit hits the fan could I have their backs. Always enjoyed being called on as I didn’t have the temperament to do it for a job haha.

Didn't being smaller helped in fights? Might not be very intimidating, but I see someone smaller who knows how to fight winning against a big drunk guy.

You ain’t kidding haha.

I never really liked to fight,but I took some huge shots by big guys and never went down from a punch..............now if that cigarette machine wasn`t there!! LOL ;D
I will say that lots of big guys aren`t great fighters cuz most people are intimidated by them cuz they are big therefore they lack experience when it domes down to the nitty gritty.
I`ve seen smaller sized guys beat the shit out of bigger guys......I wasn`t one of them though, but I could hold my own......lost a lot more than I won to be honest....like I said I didn`t really like fighting but at times you have no choice.
I often tried to walk away from a fight but then the guy thinks you`re scared so it usually just happens anyway.

You ain’t kidding haha.
You crazy bastard ! LOL ;D

In between the Military and the Police Academy I was a bouncer in a club that had two floors. 1 was Country. the 2nd was Rock/Pop. Small city in Oklahoma with an Air Force Base . Lasted about a year. I always tried to talk them down. In that year had a few scuffles.. 3 things that stood out. No matter what, when punches started flying your bar buddies forgot your name.. 2. The smaller ones were 9 times out of ten a lot tougher than the big ones.. Try to avoid a confrontation on an iced parking lot in cowboy boots.

In about all my dealings in fights as a bouncer and LE, the most trouble I had was with the scrappers.. especially with a background in wrestling. This was the 80's-90's before MMA took hold

Yeah, watching over drunks would not be fun. I had a buddy who bounced at a club during a concert and ended up killing a guy who was being too rowdy. He went to prison for manslaughter for a couple years. When he got out he ended up drinking himself to death.
-
Nowadays, it is not worth it to be a bouncer.
You'd get sued for sure.
