10 Times Wrestlers Lost Their Minds In Matches

In another case of a human being having the audacity to make a mistake in the workplace leading to an on-air wave of unfiltered rage, Kofi Kingston was hit with some Randy Orton venom on an episode of Raw in 2010.

With the 'Viper' getting ready to take his enemy's head off with his disgusting punt kick as the match reached its climax, Kingston must have gotten his wires crossed and assumed an RKO was heading his way instead as he groggily pulled himself onto his feet.

Again, though, rather than calmly accepting that things weren't going to plan and reacting accordingly, a fuming Randy instead unleashed a pretty nasty cutter on the confused future WWE Champion. Not done there, the 'Apex Predator' whose head had evidently gone then spat a couple of poisonous "Stupids!" at a finished Kofi on the mat.

Unsurprisingly, Kofi's push at the time didn't last all that long in the wake of this live miscommunication and Orton meltdown. But at least he got the last laugh almost a decade later, conquering the veteran during his run as WWE Champion after finally reaching the top of the mountain.
