Fan storms the ring during Collision
A fan stormed the ring after the Daniel Garcia vs KM match last night on Collision and was tackled by security and the referee.
Thankfully, the ring was empty when the not-so-smart fan decided to make a run for it. Garcia was celebrating with fans on the outside when the fan slid under the bottom rope, struggled a little bit to get up, and by the time he managed to get on his feet, security and a referee were already on his ass.
With the arena lights dimmed, he was then ejected out, with one security locking him in a front face lock and another one holding him from behind as they walked him through the crowd and out. Fans aptly chanted “You f*cked up” on his way out.
This was the second fan incident in a few days in Canada as someone on Wednesday was also ejected for making several and constant vulgar comments towards Skye Blue during ROH tapings.
Holy shit there was a fan that jumped into the ring here. The crowd chanted "You fucked up" while he was being escorted out lmao #AEWCollision pic.twitter.com/P1TrHgkHk0

Never forget the day that a fan yelled some less than polite phrases at a woman.
@Pete Haines Yes. May we never forget that infamous day in our history. At least Australia made a statue to honor a female athlete that got a rude comment on social media. Why won’t Khan do the same? Oh the humanity!
So you’d be OK if someone showed up at your job and started being verbally abusive? Like, to the point where you were uncomfortable and/or possibly worried for your safety? (Imagine it happening to a female relative or co-worker if your snap reaction there was “ugh, no, me big strong man, words no hurt.”)
I’m all for fan engagement, heckling, even being “rude” or “less than polite,” but there’s a line and this guy crossed it. Contrary to popular belief, “paying your hard-earned money” does not give you carte blanche to be a dick without consequences.
Two things you never do as a fan: strike a wrestler or cross the barricade. This guy was stupid as sin and got what he deserved.
