Why did Marcellus Wallace throw Tony Rocky Horror out of a window?
In Pulp Fiction, Jules and Vincent discuss the rumour that Marcellus Wallace has thrown Tony Rocky Horror out of a window (causing Tony to develop a speech impediment). It's rumoured that Marcellus did this becuase Tony gave Marcellus' wife a foot massage.
Later, Vincent asks Mia Wallace about this. She claims only to have met Tony once, at her wedding. So why did Marcellus throw Tony out the window?

Answer 2
The only people who know the reason are Marcellus and Antwan "Tony Rocky Horror". So here's my theory, but needs little explaining. After Zed incident, Marcellus tells Butch the only people that will ever know about the "incident" are himself, Butch and Zed (though not for much longer once he tortures him to death.) Sound familiar?
I think Tony Rocky Horror (and that references Rocky Horror Picture Show, cult classic about a transvestite) must have come onto Marcellus and he threw the guy out of a window to be sure he never did it again. Is one of his crew and didn't actually do anything invasive, so let him live, unlike Zed, a stranger that full on raped him and he knew needed a waaaay worse lesson.
Answer 3
It's a reference to the movie The Tenant directed by Roman Polanski in 1976.
In the movie, a girl tries to commit suicide by jumping from the balcony of her apartment, falling 4 stories through a greenhouse roof. When visited in the hospital, she is unable to speak, and only screams, therefore she "developed a speech impediment".
Tony "Rocky Horror" could also reference Roman Polanski as he dresses in drag and replays the macabre suicide by making the jump over the balcony later in the same film.
Answer 4
Marcellus threw Antwan Rockamora out of a window because Antwan stole the case from Marcellus. Antwan owns Big Kahuna Burger (being a large and half Samoan), where Brett and Marvin go to collect the case as well as a few tasty burgers.
Answer 5
It's kind of a rumour actually. Maybe the rumour was spread to cover the actual purpose of Marcellus throwing Antwan off the window. So I think it is made up.
Answer 6
"When you little scamps get together you're worse than a sewing circle. " That pretty much says it all. Mia was obviously involved in the dirty side of Marcellus's business and it was clear she felt whatever happened to Rocky Horror want anybody else's business.
