Now this is the ultimate definition of 'hangry'.

After schlepping from a show in Watertown, MA to Waukesha, WI ahead of another booking the next night, AWA stars Masa Saito and Ken Patera hit the town in search of a late supper. When he was denied service by an unresponsive intercom at a McDonald's, the famished - and fuming - Patera hurled a 30lb boulder through the restaurant's window.

Later that night, police turned up at the wrestlers' hotel following a call from fast-food clerks clinking up broken glass. They did not appreciate the special room service, brutally assaulting the officers as more and more turned up.

In the end, the pair fought off thirteen cops before they were eventually subdued. They were both arrested, and put on trial the following year. This time, they were served - with a two year prison sentence. Did they want fries with that?

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
