Former TNA star Gunner was involved in an incident with a fan at a PWX independent wrestling event in Winston-Salem, North Carolina on September 6th.
According to the latest issue of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, a Carolina fan named Adrian Rohr had apparently written negative things on social media about Gunner, which apparently upset the wrestling star.
During the event, fans reportedly broke out into a “Dixie’s Reject! Dixie’s Reject!” chant at the show, which allegedly led to Gunner kicking Rohr in the chest in front of his young son.
Most of the wrestlers apparently took Gunner’s side in the situation, although that is often the case even when the wrestler involved is wrong. Others who worked the event, however, noted to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that the assault was completely unprovoked and that Rohr is actually a respectful fan “who is not a nut in any way.”
Gunner reportedly posted the following online shortly after the incident, but later deleted the comments.
“And for the record, don’t be an idiot fan and step up to my ring. You will get kicked.”
