8 Times Disrespected Wrestlers Went Nuts On Reporters

3. Vader Goes Nuts On A Kuwaiti TV Host

In order to promote an upcoming match between Vader and the Undertaker, both men appeared on Good Morning Kuwait, hosted by Bassam Al Othman, who made the cardinal error ofimplying that wrestling was fake.

He asked both men "in Kuwait, they say this wrestling is not for real ... so, you act?" The Undertaker, already in American Badass mode years before he took it on as a full-time gimmick, answered the question in a measured manner, spending a minute or so dispassionately casting scorn on Al Othman's question whilst promoting wrestling as a craft.

Vader didn't have the patience for all that. After telling the Kuwaiti TV personality that he found his remarks insulting, the big guy leapt from his chair, flipped the coffee table over before grabbing Al Othman by the scruff of his neck asking him "did that f***ing feel fake, huh? Did that feel fake?"

While reports from the incident suggested that Vader had been told to 'ham it up', it's pretty clear from the footage that the host had no idea that the wrestler was going to get quite so physical. Vader ended up being arrested and charged with assault, spending 10 days under house arrest.

And all the while the Undertaker sat there and didn't move once. Like an absolute boss.
