"The Story of Jack Referees Wrestling Match" Jack does his own stunt!


I know there is a bunch of stunts that were done by a stunt double, actually all of them except one. At the very end when the wrestlers each grab a hand and a foot of Jack and swing him back and forth. That is actually Jack, no stunt double. At one point you can actually see his face actually hits the canvas!!

They then cut to a new shot of where they throw the guy who is the stunt double.
Since that episode was done, Jack was actually 68 at the time, I was shocked! And impressed!

I was watching it on Antenna TV but happened to be recording it. So I have watched it and re-watched it carefully and there is no doubt it is him.
