7. Eddie Guerrero's Fan Club - May 27, 2002
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOhKVCDqrME Eddie Guerrero was one of the greatest wrestlers to ever set foot in a ring, and when he returned to WWE in April of 2002 with his much-publicized demons behind him the sky was the limit for the world-class talent. He was ready to go on a true heel run, tearing through the competition and getting the fans to really hate him. And hate him they did. Guerrero immediately targeted ultra-popular Intercontinental Champion Rob Van Dam, making his life miserable before taking the title from him at Backlash. A ladder match between the two was set for the May 27, 2002 Raw in Edmonton, Alberta, and once and for all, the better man would be decided. However, an overzealous fan had his own ideas about who the better man was. At one point in the match, Eddie began to scale the ladder, but the fan jumped the guardrail, ran into the ring, and shoved the ladder over! Eddie landed on his feet, coldcocked the interloper, then kicked him out of the ring. The fan may have ended up sore and incarcerated, but he got his wish RVD recovered the Intercontinental Title from Guerrero.
