March 15, 200620 yr TNA issued the following press release this morning: OZZIE GUILLEN JOINS TNA WRESTLING FRACAS Smashes Simon Diamond with chair The World Series Champion manager has jumped into pro wrestling – with smashing success. Ozzie Guillen delivered a vicious left-handed homerun with a steel chair to the back of Simon Diamond after the TNA Wrestling hot-shot arrived unexpected and unwanted at the Chicago White Sox spring training facility in Tucson, Ariz. Diamond took batting practice, wearing complete White Sox garb, then confronted White Sox catcher A.J. Pierzynski and Dale Torborg, the team’s strength and conditioning coach, with several teammates nearby. Guillen came to the defense of his Sox, cracking Diamond with the chair. “Get off my field,” Guillen shouted at Diamond. Full highlights of Guillen’s attack will air Saturday, March 18, on TNA iMPACT! (Spike-TV, 11 p.m. ET). Diamond has had a running feud with Pierzynski and Torborg since last December. Diamond also took exception to TNA Wrestling executives presenting Pierzynski with a championship belt that the White Sox will award to their Player of the Game throughout the 2006 season. “TNA is thrilled to work with the World Series Champion White Sox,” said TNA announcer Mike Tenay. “The no-limit attitude of TNA Wrestling parallels the mindset of the Sox, manager Ozzie Guillen and players like AJ Pierzynski. It’s been a great association to this point and we look forward to working with them throughout the 2006 season.” TNA Wrestling features a host of mat veterans, such as Sting, Jeff Jarrett, Konnan and Team 3D. The TNA roster also boasts the rising stars, such as Samoa Joe, AJ Styles and Chris Sabin, among others. TNA Wrestling will move to a Thursday Night primetime slot on Spike TV starting April 13. Photos and video of Guillen’s chair-shot are available from TNA. And the actual chair used by Guillen, since signed by members of the White Sox and TNA Wrestling, soon will be auctioned by the Chicago White Sox to aid White Sox Charities.

March 16, 200620 yr I just seen it like 20 mins ago on abc news <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I just saw it on NBC 5 news. Simon Diamond is smack-talking to Pierzynski about AJ's title belt and Ozzie sneaks up from behind him and hits him with the weakest chair shot I have ever seen. Crede and Thome are standing around looking clueless like they don't even know what's going on. Hilarious. Edited March 16, 200620 yr by SSH2005

March 16, 200620 yr LOL, Ozzie nails Simon Diamond in the back with the chair and then yells at him while he's laid out, "GET OFFA MY FIELD!!!" Then Ozzie starts laughing as he walks away. Edited March 16, 200620 yr by SSH2005
March 16, 200620 yr Author QUOTE(knightni @ Mar 15, 2006 -> 04:08 PM) I wondered where the WCW senior citizens went. They spent 5 minutes in TNA - Kevin Nash & Scott Hall last year, and Scott Steiner just debuted. But the young guys they have are awesome. The X Division rules!
March 17, 200620 yr Anyone else think Ozzie will get his own TV show after he retires....maybe called "Ozzie Knows Best"
March 19, 200620 yr QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Mar 19, 2006 -> 01:51 AM) Here's the video... Great stuff. L.M.A.O.
March 19, 200620 yr The funny thing is, I could actually see Ozzie doing something like that. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> "Get off my field you piece of s***!!!" *hides face in shame*
March 20, 200620 yr Author QUOTE(TheHammer @ Mar 19, 2006 -> 01:30 PM) I think this is the first time I have seen the word fracas in print It's a great word, isn't it?
March 20, 200620 yr Author What's great about that clip is AJ's responses and the looks on the rest of the team. Awesome.
