10 Wrestlers That Told You They Were Pissed

2. Vampiro

A truly bizarre state of affairs that forced Matt Striker to rather gamely attempt to protect kayfabe when there was none left to preserve, Vampiro's show-closing run(!)-in at the end of AAA Triplemania XXVI will instead be remembered as the night he lost his patience with production rather than the dastardly heels.

With the ring full of villains awaiting his interference from the commentary desk, Vamp first waved them off and sat back down as a delaying tactic before screaming a tirade of F-bomb's down the microphone at anybody back there that could hear him.

The wait became excruciating for everybody including the man himself. The heels couldn't just keep gesturing in the ring without a clue as to why the hero was refusing to make the save. Anger turned to desperation, with his initial infuriated demands being reduced to pained requests to "please for the love of f*cking god put the music on" until AC/DC's Back In Black eventually hit.

Striker, meanwhile, tried to say that Vampiro wanted to the fans to know he was coming, but the damage was (hilariously) already done.
