10 Fascinating WWE WrestleMania 18 Facts
9. The Fan Ric Flair Accidentally Assaulted In The Pre-Match Vignette Was A Future WWE Talent
If you ever check out WrestleMania X8 on the Network or on DVD or whatever, pay close attention to the video package that precedes Undertaker and Ric Flair's underrated bloodbath. In it, we see Undertaker playing all sorts of cunning and aggressive mind games to warp Flair's psyche. In one instance, Flair attacks Undertaker at ringside during a live SmackDown, ten nights before the PPV.
Flair goes to slug Undertaker in the heat of the brawl, but misses and hits a "fan". The video package goes on to show said fan pointing out Flair to the police as the man who had struck him, and Flair is arrested for the punch.
That fan? Paul London, who would debut as a full-timer in late-2003, following a brief run through TNA's X Division earlier that year. London also recalls some of the absurdity of that cameo appearance in an amusing story told in 2014.
