Despite my living in Upstate New York, I am a Johnny Come Lately concerning the Bills Mafia. The Bills Mafia are a die hard Buffalo Bills fans. They like to drink, cover some old dude with condiments, and give $1.6 million for good causes! They also dug out Bills players from their homes to catch a flight to Detroit as Buffalo had the mother of all blizzards! Cool!
To be “made” in this family, there’s no “greaseball shit” that Ray Liotta told us about in 1990. But the initiation is to jump through a plasic folding table! Sometimes fans lite the damn thing on fire!
Now the question is; where did the table tradition come from? It started at an old Bingo Hall on South Swanson Street in Philadelphia. In the 1990’s, Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) had wrestlers put one another through folding tables.
And yes, ECW did bring flaming tables to the US. Fire, and thumbtacks, glass were all wrestling gimmicks American wrestlers brought back from Japan.
I applaud the #BillsMafia for carrying on tradition. Vince McMahon brought ECW back to life just to treat it like Fredo Corleone!
