10 Times Wrestling Fans Invaded The Show

7. CenaGrinsLol

This may not come as news to some of you, but there was a time when fans really didn’t like John Cena. That time might be right now for some of you, clutching your CM Punk shirts to your chest and sobbing it should have been him.

But in 2008, loads of people were irritated by the way Cena say, immutable, unchanging, goofy and persistent atop the WWE Main Event scene, so on June 2nd, when it came time for Cena to wrestle Hardy for a shot at Triple H’s WWE Championship at Night of Champions, a fan thought not this time and rushed the ring to execute sloppy and uncoordinated justice.

Amazingly, this one’s still on the Network (for us at least, don’t know about you peacock cretins) and that’s probably because Cena and Hardy stopped wrestling to watch the fan be escorted out, even cracking smiles and doing comedy shrugs at the crowd.

Say what you want about Big Match John, the dude’s crowd work instincts are on point, as he whipped the crowd up into a frenzy following the rude interruption.

6. Macho’s Gonna Kill You

If there’s one thing about the modern era, it’s that if you invade the ring you’re slightly less likely to have an insane man from wrestling’s golden era punish you with insane man murder for hopping into the ring.

In 2008 Cena laughed and shrugged, in 1999, Macho man rugby tackled and leathered. I’m not saying Cena was right to not go after his fan, and I’m not saying Macho was wrong to down an entire can of spinach and try to form brain surgery on his fan through his goddamn ear, but yeah, things were scary in the past.

It was the May 17 episode of WCW Monday Nitro and Nitro in 1999 was a bloody chaotic nightmare of a place to be even when everything stuck to the script.

Case in point, earlier in the night Randy Savage and Madusa wrestled Ric Flair and his mini-me, Lil Naitch Charles Robinson in a tag match that’s famous for Savage accidentally collapsing Robinson’s lung with an elbow drop.

Anyway, later that show, Savage attacked Kevin Nash, giving him an impromptu makeover, with some lipstick, making him look like an NFL drag queen, when a fan rushed in to make the save before getting DEMOLISHED by savage, spearing him to the ground and whaling on him.

Naturally, it’s still on the network as WWE aren’t going to waste time making it look like WCW had their shit together.

5. This F**king Guy

This is probably the most annoying one. For real, f**k this dude.

At the 2019 Hall of Fame, which saw Bret Hart receive his second induction, this time for being part of the Hart Foundation, a white man in a reggae hat and dreads (and really, isn’t that all you need to know) slid into the ring and tackled a 61-year-old man to the ground, during an induction that was half to honor Jim Neidhart, who had died the year before.

Once more with feeling, f**k this dude. Hart injured his hip, but finished the speech because he’s the goddamn Hitman, it would take more than this scrawny ass to take him out.

As you can imagine, attacking a beloved and respected figure on a night where several wrestlers were both in attendance and emotional, proved not to be the soundest of strategies as the man received numerous blows, including a savage one from the man then called Dash Wilder, as he was led away by a swarm of muscled people who hated his gut.

4. Latino Beat

Why would you piss off Eddie Guerrero? You will get burned by his Latino Heat you silly sausage. Eddie really has bad luck with WWE ladder matches, doesn’t he?

At SummerSlam 2005, during his custody of Dominik in the bank match, Vickie was late for her cue, prompting him to blow his top and shout ‘where the f**k is Vickie’, his match at Judgment Day 2003 saw his partner Chavo be hit with an injury and miss the show, meaning he won the tag titles with random-ass Tajiri, and then there’s this match against Rob Van Dam on the 27th of May episode of Raw 2002.

Eddie vs. Ronald Van Donald in a ladder match for the IC title sounds like one beauty of a main event and it was very good, including a closing spot promoting a Steve Austin/Eddie Guerrero feud that would sadly never actually pay off.

During the match, in a moment that’s surprisingly still on the network, Eddie’s climbing the ladder when a man rushes the ring and pushes the ladder out from under him which is SUPER fucking dangerous, and Eddie, quite away how SUPER fucking dangerous it was, smacks the guy upside the head as security take him now, before getting in a few kicks while he’s being bundled out of the ring. What a silly fan.
