10 Times Wrestlers Went Nuts On Fans
7. Fan Gets Punk'd
Right now we'd all do anything to return to the raucous Raw crowds of yesteryear, but it's undeniably a dangerous place to venture if you're a wrestler, especially a heel. CM Punk did exactly that though during the closing segment of the flagship show back in 2012.
As Vince McMahon is laying down the law to the then-WWE Champion, Punk is jostled by fans who repeatedly shove and strike him in the back of the head. Clearly bothered by the situation, he attempts to stare-down those he perceives to be perpetrators but is struck again and angrily lashes out with strikes to the face of the fan behind him.
The footage seems to exonerate the man he attacks, but it's somewhat understandable that 'The Voice Of The Voiceless' let fly as he obviously feared for his personal safety. Nevertheless, Punk was quick to apologise, saying:-
"I was up in the stands, surrounded. Somebody said, ‘let’s push him down the stairs.’ I got hit in the ribs three times. I was getting shoved and I was getting punched…Then I started getting tagged in the back of the head. Unfortunately, I lashed out in the heat of the moment and I apologize. I’m really just glad nobody was hurt."
