When doing a report on wrestling in 1985, Stossel was interviewing
David Schultz (aka Dr. D. David Shultz). Stossel came right out and told Shultz that he thought wrestling was fake. Shultz slapped him in the ear twice, causing Stossel to walk away. He claimed Shultz gave him massive ear trauma and decided to sue the World Wrestling Federation. In the end, the WWF
succumbed to the pressure, and Stossel won a huge settlement.
