Paul Wight Recalls Throwing A Cookie At A Belligerent Customer While Working As A Club Doorman

Paul Wight recalls using a cookie against a belligerent customer while working as a club doorman prior to his pro wrestling career.

Wight is a long time professional wrestler, debuting in the 1990’s, with the giant having now worked in WWE, WCW and AEW throughout his pro wrestling career. Prior to that, Wight bounced around with several gigs, including being a doorman at entertainment spots.

While speaking to Sporf in a new interview, Paul Wight recalled using a cookie as a weapon against a belligerent customer one night he was working as a club doorman.

“It’s funny. I was working as a doorman in Philadelphia at a club called Delilah’s Den, and there was a guy that was, being very, very difficult. We threw him out of the bar and he’s probably 25, 30 feet away, and they had these big, thick chocolate chip cookies that are about yay thick and it’s big monstrous cookie and he’s an Italian guy in Philadelphia. So they always got to have the last word, like a little dog. Yip, yip, yip, yip, yip. You know, and he said something pretty smart. Some kind of comment. I don’t remember exactly what it was now. I remember I couldn’t get to him fast enough, but I could throw a cookie, and I threw that cookie and it exploded like a gunshot right in the back of his head. Like it hit him in the back of the head and cookie fragments went all over the roof of the cab and the whole nine yards. So, yeah, I think… if there had been a world championship cookie throw, like cookie throw, I think I would have been a top contender back in the day.”

Elsewhere in the same interview, Wight spoke about wanting AEW to be more present in the UK for shows. You can read more about that here.
