10 Times Wrestling Fans Put Themselves In Harm's Way

10. NWO Vs. OAP

With the nWo having largely dominated WCW programming for well over a year by the time of the 1 December 1997 episode of Nitro, this was the time that fans were desperate to see Sting take the World Heavyweight Championship from Hollywood Hogan at the upcoming Starrcade PPV.

Harking back to the wily, handbag-wielding blue rinse brigade seen across the wrestling shows of the '70s and '80s, this Nitro had an extremely passionate old gal in the front row of the Knoxville Civic Coliseum.

Like so many others, she was reigning down her rage on Hogan while adorning a Sting mask. And once Hulk had spotted her, the ferocious OAP refused to back down and instead got right up in the nWo leader's face - going as far as to start swinging punches at Hogan.

To be fair to Hollywood, he had reason to be wary of old ladies, for two years prior a seemingly helpless old woman turned out to be Kevin Sullivan in disguise - leading to the Dungeon of Doom shaving the Hulkster's prized moustache, brother.
