10 Best Times Wrestlers Responded To Fans During Matches
1. Sami Zayn Confronts Homophobic Asshat
Boo whichever wrestlers you want, tell them they suck, scream at them to get their ass kicked. But seriously, there are lines that it's baffling to see crossed when it comes to wrestling fandom at times.
Regardless of his douchey on-screen persona, Sami Zayn is a good, good dude. Away from the squared circle, amongst the various causes he champions, he also has his own Sami For Syria work which has raised over $7.5 million to provide life-saving medical care to those in northwest Syria.
Never one to let d**khead behaviour slide, Zayn found himself confronted by an idiot fan during a Daytona Beach house show back in December 2019. There, Sami wasn't actually competing in a match when this incident took place. Instead, he was in and around the ringside area while Shinsuke Nakamura took on 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt in a steel cage contest.
After a fan was shouting homophobic abuse towards those in action, Sami wasn't playing that sh*t.
The former NXT Champion confronted the fan, dared him to say his disgusting comments again, called him a "homophobic d**k" and had security come over to have the jackass ejected from the building.
