Dad jumps into wrestling match, tosses son's opponent out of ring

AURORA, Ill. (AP) _ A father bounded into a youth wrestling match, picked up his son's winning opponent and launched him out of the ring, an episode caught on a home video.

After tossing the 11-year-old boy into the air Sunday, the angry father headed toward the cameraman, the father of the airborne boy.

''I was just wrestling, then the guy throws me,'' the boy, Nick Nasenbeny of suburban Aurora, told WMAQ-TV in Chicago. It was not known if the boy was injured.

Ray Hoffman, the father in the video and a part-time wrestling coach, told the television station he regrets his behavior and feels embarrassed. He said his son's shoulder was injured. Hoffman also said he will no longer be allowed to coach.

Dean Bogess, a wrestling coach who attended the meet, said Nick was using a legal move to pin his opponent and that the referee was about to stop the match when Hoffman intervened.

''The match was being stopped. He had blown his whistle already,'' Bogess said.

Nick's father, Dan Nasenbeny, said he was stunned by Hoffman's actions.

''I mean, there is a lot of different ways to stop a match. Not to pick up my son and launch him 5 feet, 10 feet in the air,'' Nasenbeny said.

Ha! Sad, but its kinda funny. Who launches 11 year old boys?? If I was the kids father I'd have knocked that dude out.

This reminds me of the parent in Wayne County who made national news when he went after Upchurch with a chair.

Parents just need to calm down... I'm glad the boy is alright

I agree that was a little over the top with launching the other kid, but if it were my son launched, I don't think I would cause a fight.  Afterall, the boy did land a soft wrestling mat.
