Video After The Jump

Who knew there were people in America that still wrestled alligators as a living?

Jeff Quattrocchi, better known as 'The Swampmaster' is one very lucky man. During one of his recent shows he made a mistake and his arm got caught in the jaws of an angry 8 foot gator.

He kept his cool as the gator's jaws applied 2000 pounds of pressure or the equivalent of a small truck on his arm. Somehow he was able to free himself.

36 staples and 23 stitches later Jeff was able to laugh about the whole thing.

"Well you gotta be three things to be a professional alligator wrestler. You gotta be pretty big, pretty strong and really stupid," he said laughing.
