10 Times Wrestlers Went Nuts On Fans
Ever wanted to be part of the action? You won't after reading this...
We've all dreamt of one day becoming a wrestler. Walking out to a rapturous reception as our theme music echoes around the arena (if you say you've never recreated that at home, you're a liar), stepping between the ropes, and pitting yourself against the best in the business for the ultimate prize.
Sadly, for the majority of us the closest we'll come to that is watching our poorly-animated WWE 2K20 character glitch their way to victory. However, for some wrestling fans that simply isn't good enough. They inexplicably decide that they want to be a part of the action...and usually end up immediately regretting it.
Wrestlers don't take kindly to members of the audience getting involved, making an example of anyone stupid enough to step into their domain. This list isn't about unprovoked attacks on the crowd like Randy Orton punting John Cena's father's head off, or Shane McMahon stepping to George Mizanin, but incidents where performers tangled with members of the general public and were (for the most part) completely justified.
With all of that in mind, and with an honourable mention to the time Big Show chinned someone at a bar, here are ten times wrestlers went nuts on fans...
10. Fixin' For A Fight With Miss Texas
The details around this incident are sketchy at best, but the story goes that a male fan in attendance at a USWA event back in 90s tackled WWE Hall Of Famer Jacqueline (who was known as Miss Texas back then) as she was attempting to escape another wrestler's clutches.
Any footage of the event has been removed from YouTube, however reports claim that a brawl between the two then ensues until staff members and the police get involved to separate Miss Texas from her assailant.
The silver lining to this shocking ringside attack is that it appears the fourteen-time USWA Women's champion was getting the better of the exchange and landing the majority of shots before they were pulled apart, understandably apoplectic that the man had put his hands on her.
Some have claimed that it was all a work, and that the 'fan' was actually Faron Fox aka 'Faron the Fan' but regardless, there is a lesson for us all here. Don't get involved, even if it is all still real to you, dammit.
