A fan choosing to put their hands on any person, wrestler or otherwise, without their consent is already hugely inappropriate.

However, opting to not only go out of your way to touch former Olympic weightlifter and World Heavyweight Champion Mark Henry, but actually fully connect with a rather powerful slap on the gigantic man is just plain stupid.

But that's precisely what has gone down in the past, according to the Busted Open co-host.

When talking on a recent edition of the SiriusXM podcast (via Wrestling Inc.), the WWE Hall of Famer noted how, over the years, he has had to deal with folks hopping on his back for piggybacks, hitting him so hard it felt like they were looking for a fight, and folks poking and touching his stomach.

In fact, on one occasion, that last act almost resulted in him breaking a person's arm, only for Henry's wife to step in and talk him down.

And in the wake of Don Callis recently being attacked by a fan during the recent AAA TripleMania event, it's not hard to see why Henry feels it's now time to make sure something is done to protect wrestling personalities from dealing with this sort of unpleasant situation.
