7 Giant Lies Told By Wrestling That Will Definitely Kill You

5. Attacking The Cops Won't Get You Shot

Steve Austin Cops Arrested

Speaking of which, Steve Austin used to repeatedly kick the living sh*t out of WWF owner Vince McMahon on a regular basis without ever being sent to jail. Oh no, wait, he was arrested on several occasions by rent-a-cops who, because they were such nice people, decided it was alright to post bail after hitting them with Stunners.

How forgiving of them.

In reality, attacking armed policemen would result in a few gunshots being fired off. Some of them may even be fatal if the assault was vicious enough. Those trained policemen (with guns they're legally allowed to defend themselves with) wouldn't stand idly by, and they certainly wouldn't calmly restrain a snarling, dangerous criminal if he decided to start throwing haymakers like Mike Tyson in disguise.

At the very least, a bullet might finds its merry way into the air as a warning shot. If that failed to defuse the situation, then all bets would be off and Austin, chief babyface and upcoming pay-per-view match against the boss or not, would be put down.
