1979 bouncer documentary

[wes]

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.

Christ,you`d probably be in jail for murder if you did that for a living!  LOL

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! 

Crazy times to say the least.

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.

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 

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.

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.
