Riot Time!

[Cheaptimes]

TNA stars Simon Diamond, Sonjay Dutt, and Shark Boy needed a police escort to exit an appearance in Bhopal, India today after an estimated 1,000 fans who were shut out of the event started what was described to me as a riot, pushing and attempting to force their way past security to enter the facility where the appearance was being held.

The event, part of a promotional tour set up by ESPN Star Sports which carries TNA in the Middle East, drew a sellout of 1,500 fans. ESPN attempted to appease those who were shut out by setting up a live feed that was broadcast out of the facility, but the crowd still attempted to force their way into the Wednesday evening event.

The TNA stars were sequestered in their dressing room until enough police reinforcements arrived to surround them and escort them to their transportation back to the hotel they are headquartered out of. There was a camera present, which captured some of the wild scene.

NEAR-RIOT ERUPTS IN MEXICO CITY DURING APPEARANCE BY NWA WORLD CHAMPION JEFF JARRETT
Security and police called in to escort Jarrett out of arena

The El Toreo arena in Mexico City nearly erupted in a full-scale riot on Sunday night during an appearance by NWA World Heavyweight Champion Jeff Jarrett.

During the main event of the huge AAA “Verano de Escandalo” show in front of over 20,000 spectators, police and extra security had to be called in after fans rushed the ring and threw hundreds of projectiles at Jarrett.

In a total show of disrespect, Jarrett mocked the Mexican spectators and their culture during an in-ring interview. Fans began pelting the star with bolts and rocks, at which point Jarrett further instigated the crowd by throwing tortillas back at them.

Fearing for his safety, Jarrett escaped the deluge and left the ring surrounded by a crowd of police and security. The NWA World Heavyweight Champion was hurried away in a waiting car and escorted back to his hotel by police.

The incident is the second time the World Champion has caused a near-riot at the arena. The first occurred in 2004 during a AAA event.

Jarrett was scheduled to return to Nashville on Monday morning on the first flight out of Mexico City.

Mexican wrestling fans are just... theres no word to describe it, its beyond what you would call being a mark. I worked at a lucha libre event in San Jose last summer and it was the craziest damn thing Id ever seen. Nothing like in that video, but damn.... I will never work another lucha show again.
