WWE producer James Gibson, better known by his ring name of Jamie Noble, was stabbed Wednesday morning according to a report from Pro Wrestling Sheet’s Ryan Satin. According to what the Mercer County Sheriff’s Office relayed to Satin, Noble had just gotten home from the WWE loop and went on a short drive to get a snack. When he got home again, another motorist pulled up behind Gibson and accused him of cutting him off moments earlier. After Gibson tried to apologize, the other man continued to argue with him before “Noble eventually took the man to the ground when things got physical.”
That’s when two more men got out of the suspect’s car, with at least one of them stabbing Gibson in the back. He was taken to a local emergency room and treated, but his condition as of this writing is unknown past the point that he remains hospitalized. Satin also noted that WWE is aware of the whole situation.
Gibson had not appeared on TV as Jamie Noble since March, disappearing when The Authority storyline was largely blown off at WrestleMania. He retired as a wrestler in 2009, having already started as a road agent/producer a few years earlier when WWE wanted someone with a more “modern” in-ring style working back stage. One of his first contributions was teaching Shawn Michaels the reverse figure four leg lock that he used as a secondary finishing hold late in his career.
