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

For those with no links to football/soccer in England, Everton are one of the closest approximations of a "proper" club in an increasingly improper endeavour. They've been corrupted by the trappings of corruption and greed like every other team attempting to stay afloat in the capitalist arms race the sport now exists as, but they have clung on to a modicum of tradition and decency as they fight for their continued status amongst the country's elite for dear life

Neutrals - if such things still exist in what's just become a fairly ugly game - tend to quite like Everton.

How quickly that could change if they watched any wrestling from Florida over the last decade or so. First cropping up at NXT's Full Sail tapings, a fan known for wearing a Toffees' shirt became a familiar sight, as did what appeared to be a surface-level obnoxiousness that was both distracting and off-putting. And that's just as a TV viewer.

Kip Sabian found himself on the wrong end of a hairdryer rant from the man during a Fight For The Fallen match with Hangman Page. He responded with a rapid-fire kiss on the lips, stunning the gobsh*te into frozen silence and popping a Daily's Place crowd perhaps happy to see him shut down for once.
