10 Times Wrestling Fans F***ed Around & Found Out
10 people doing the stupidest thing you could do at a wrestling show and paying the price...
Don't ever throw things into the ring or reach beyond the guardrail to touch a wrestler beyond slapping five as make their way to the ring.
Don't ever get in a wrestler's face with abuse so vile that it transcends the boos and cheers expected within the context of the art-form.
Don't ever ever jump the guardrail.
Don't ever ever ever for the love of anything you hold dear ever jump the guardrail and get in the ring.
It feels necessary to state the obvious here on the tiniest off-chance that this article reads as glorifying the poor choices made by the fans featured. It absolutely does not. Wrestling isn't real, but the only time it is is when a fan decides to try it on with one of the performers. The brother/sisterhood reveals itself, the punches are no longer worked and the core tenets of the industry are fiercely protected by some of the biggest protectorates you'd never want to meet in person.
You could do a lot of dumb things at a wrestling show, but you couldn't do any dumber than this lot.
10. LA Park
Though not quite on the level of the chair shot to the back of Disco Inferno during their shared WCW days, LA Park's punch on a fan who idiotically attempted to pull his mask off came was high banter nonetheless.
A match spills into the front row when the insane inciting incident occurs - Park feels the hands on the back of his head because the fan makes no attempt to hide what he's trying to do. Swinging around with a strike in one fluid motion, Park's wheeling motion only adds to the power of the punch and the guy almost cartoonishly falls backwards after absorbing the worst of it on the chin.
As "f*** around and find out" as this entire list gets, the choice to manhandle a wrestler anyway is a poor one knowing what almost every other paying punter does. Going one further and trying and remove a Lucha icon's mask was beyond the pale.
