Ex-WWE Champion Gets Wrestling Ban After Attacking Fan
A former WWE Champion has been banned from wrestling after launching an assault on a fan.
On March 14th, Alberto El Patron – better known to WWE fans as Alberto del Rio – defeated El Hijo del Dr Wagner Jr at AAA’s event in Tijuana, Mexico. TV Azteca reports that after the match, El Patron confronted the crowd after they threw coins and beer at him.
The incident saw the AAA Mega Champion throw a chair into the crowd, hitting a woman in the face before being struck by a chair himself. The female fan was reportedly treated by paramedics in the arena before being taken to hospital.
In the aftermath of the incident, Tijuana authorities banned El Patron from wrestling in the city for six months. The video below shows fan footage of El Patron’s actions.
