10 Times WWE Wrestlers Shot On The Fans

This is a bizarre, but extremely entertaining, chain of events.

Actress Melissa Joan Hart (from Clarissa Explains It All and Sabrina the Teenage Witch) is a wrestling fan. Back in 2015, she posted her opinion on a WWE star who is not only social media savvy, but very witty: "Kevin Owens is a lazy wrestler. Yeah, I said it."

Cue the response from Owens: "sorry, I watched one of your shows a few months ago and it put me in a slumber that has been hard to recover from."

Strike one.

That could have been the end of it, but Hart wouldn't let that sit. And away we went.

Hart decided to dig the hole deeper by sparring with WWE fans who came to Owens' defense on Twitter. Her first argument was that he wasn't athletic. In response, many posted gifs and videos of Owens doing flips, ladder spots, etc.

Strike two.

Hart started backpedalling and said that she was criticizing Owens the character, not the performer. While this was happening, KO blocked her, and fellow performer Big E started a hashtag—#IStandWithOwens—asking other people to block her as well.

Strike three. You're out.

Hart backed down and presumably went to find Salem the Cat to console herself.
