8 Wrestlers Who Went Nuts Overseas

8. Vader Keeps Kayfabe

A unsettling kayfabe protectorate several years after the mask had already formally slipped, Vader lived the gimmick one last time when he felt the integrity of his industry challenged.

After being served a annoyingly typical question about the legitimacy of pro wrestling (with the other dreaded 'f' word uttered by the host Bassam Al Othman) midway through a fluffy promotional interview on 'Good Morning Kuwait', Vader snapped as if the interviewer was 1992 Sting himself. "Does that f*cking feel fake" yelled Vader, bulldozing over a coffee table to reach out and grab the terrified presenter by the throat.

Then-WWE Champion The Undertaker had already palmed the question off with a certain level of diplomacy, but Vader wanted the time for his own violent response. It was a costly call.

The incident resulted in 'The Mastadon' being briefly jailed in the country before being released and forced into paying a laughably small $164 fine. The whole scene was unnecessarily ugly, and permanently derailed any further upward momentum Vader had earned as a topliner. The disdain in Vince McMahon's voice as he reported the incident on Monday Night Raw during his absence was palpable.
