10 WWE SummerSlam Secrets You Need To Know About

4. D*ck Fans

Joey Ryan split the industry between delight and disdain when he first used his d*ck as his biggest weapon following an unpleasant departure from TNA. It's his unique acting skill that's allowed him to literally and figuratively swing his junk around on on the independent circuit, but that skill wasn't exactly on show when he was stationed front row to dramatically react to a Sheamus/Mark Henry spill in 2011.

He's since referred to it as his 'Home Alone' sell - the hands clasping a face paralysed by open-mouthed shock matching the expression Kevin McCallister made when he first gave aftershave a go in the 1990 classic. Trying earnestly to sell the carnage to audiences (and himself to WWE), Ryan was one of several planted fans around the incident over-egging the relatively routine tumble from 'The Celtic Warrior' and the 'World's Strongest Man'.

Perhaps it was his rather unconvincing portrayal that marked his cards in WWE - but the wrestling world at large has been better for the - ahem - exposure he's received elsewhere since.
