10 Times Wrestling Fans F***ed Around & Found Out

1. The New World Order

Or the "New World Organisation" as Hulk Hogan called it more than once while jaws hit the floor at Bash At The Beach 1996.

Like every other barrier-jumper on this list, the audience member ultimately got what was coming to him when - in this case - Kevin Nash and Scott Hall put the boots to him before security finally stepped in. But there's an undeniably different vibe to the scene in light of the Hogan heel turn that had taken place just seconds earlier.

An outlier in every respect in fact, the fan doesn't even get the usual short shrift and/or ignorance from the commentators because it almost feels in line with the seismic event taking place. Tony Schiavone, Bobby Heenan and Dusty Rhodes are working hard to communicate the gravity of Hogan's actions, but their words can't compare with staggering pictures in front of them. The transgression almost suits the universal disbelief.
