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

3. Jacob Fatu

It was at a June 2019 PCW Ultra show where Jacob Fatu dished out a rapid and painful reminder of what can happen to fans who dare to step any closer to the ring than the guardrail. It was quite the warning for anybody - in any situation - to step closer to him too.

Per various Redditors and X users discussing the grisly beating, the fan had been aggressively heckling Fatu and took the Samoan star up on the offer of a fight when asked. It didn't last long - Fatu trucked the audience member and drilled him with a kick. Despite a bleary-eyed effort to get back to his feet, the fan was unable to, disappearing back into the throngs accompanied presumably by fellow fans and/or friends who were going to see to him getting some medical attention.

Part-brawl part-PSA, the strike from Fatu was as good a short sharp shock as you'll see from a wrestler to a paying customer, with caution (if any) thrown to the wind at the same speed the leading forearm was.
