WWE

A former WWE star has recalled starting a riot in Mexico.

Since starting his professional wrestling career by co-winning WWE Tough Enough two decades ago, John Morrison has experienced so much in the business.

Despite winning 31 championships across 21 different promotions, there is one moment that stands out above all the rest.

During an appearance on “Power Up With Tony Horton” Youtube channel, Morrison, real name John Hennigan, recalled the time he started a riot in Mexico when wrestling Rey Mysterio for AAA.

During the bout, Hennigan was struck by a can of beer thrown by a fan in the front row. Reflecting on the moment, he stated:

“I threw it back and hit the guy – it might not have been the same guy – in the face in the front row.”

Feeling embarrassed and angry, the fan jumped the barricade with his party of 10 people as the ring started filling up with other fans throwing stuff. Hennigan further explained:

“Rey Mysterio grabbed the mic and goes, ‘Guys settle down. I’m about to kick Johnny Mundo’s a** and I don’t need you to throw this stuff.'”

However, Mysterio’s pleas went ignored asglass bottles, batteries, bottles of urine and more were being thrown.

“About a minute goes by and security is like, ‘everyone out!'”
