Pro wrestling is to MMA what the McRib is to slow-cooked Memphis barbecue, but every once in awhile, pro wrestling gets a little too real.
On Monday night in Sacramento, WWE wrestler CM Punk apparently went off-script during a sequence with WWE chairman Vince McMahon and backhanded a fan in the stands. The initial assumption is that it was staged — even a heart attack, is initially suspect — but a WWE statement released Tuesday afternoon to Yahoo! Sports makes it clear this was not part of the show:
"During last night's Raw televised event, WWE Superstar CM Punk exited the ring into the stands as part of the show. WWE security was unfortunately not in the appropriate place at the time. Given CM Punk's persona as a 'bad guy,' fans were naturally heckling him, but unfortunately a few fans began shoving him and one struck in him in the kidney and on the back. WWE regrets that proper security measures were not in place, and CM Punk apologizes for reacting in the heat of the moment. Other than this isolated incident, WWE always provides proper security to ensure the safety of our fans and our performers."
Amateur video of the event shows that Punk just flat-out lost his temper with fans badgering him. And, as is so often the case in these audience brawls, Punk apparently went after the wrong guy.
Laura Cole, a Sacramento CBS reporter, sought out the fan whom Punk decked. According to Cole's Twitter feed, the fan "says he never hit Punk," and that "his face is a little warm. … He also says Punk broke his glasses." Cole further noted that the fan was filing paperwork with local law enforcement.
So what went wrong here? As you can see in the above video, Punk was almost completely swarmed by fans in the stands. Still, he's got to figure that at a wrestling match, people might just be a little hyped up. So, yes, while a lack of WWE security might have played a role, fundamentally it's on Punk to keep in control.
More on this as it develops.

30 years ago a wrestler would catch a beer bottle to the side of the head for trying something like that.

It wasn't even the fella with the glasses who pushed him. If you look closely it's the fella with the white long sleeve shirt at 0:36 and on 0:38 pushes him and hide. Then the fella with the glasses get the grunt of it.

Somebody order him some french cries and cheese to go with his whine, then get him a waambulance. ::)

Wrong, the guy did hit him with his arm in the back of the neck, fair play.

Some of these wrestlers are prone to personality disorders in which they believe they ARE THAT CHARACTER in real life. You could classify some of this as "fantasy-prone" personalities. Some of these wrestlers often find very intense enjoyment being a "heel" and because of their job spend a majority of time being that way which often spills into reality. An easy way to describe this is, their fantasy (kayfabe) becomes a way of escaping reality and IS their reality hence you see more violent behavior with these wrestlers when they are acting as the "bad guy".

This would have never happened to a "true" HWC though. Skinny bitches should just stick to promo's and in-ring action.
