10 Times Wrestling Fans Put Themselves In Harm's Way

5. Jacob Fatu Takes Matters Into His Own Hands

Throughout the decades, it's long been said that any fan who hops the rail or dare to enter the ring is absolutely fair game to get a bit of a pasting from the wrestlers, from managers or even from referees (here's to Mike Chioda!).

Whether this approach is fully justified or too heavy handed, that's up for debate. What's not up for debate, is that MLW World Heavyweight Champion Jacob Fatu will not think twice about putting a fan on their ass should they make the foolish decision to step up to him.

Back in June 2019, Fatu and his long-time partner Josef Samael took on the Lucha Bros. for a PCW Ultra event. After a fan had berated Samael earlier in the match, the boneheaded spectator then decided he was going to step out from behind the guardrail and give the middle finger to the 6'2" 285 lbs badass frame of Jacob Fatu.

From there, the Samoan Werewolf landed a clubbing blow on the fan, gave him a quick boot and aggressively launched a chair in his direction.
