Here's the full scoop: on Monday, the WWE held a live Monday Night Raw match at Rosemont, Illinois's Allstate Arena. Part of the show involved the six foot two, 300 pound Lesnar tearing the door off a Cadillac and hurling it in a fit of blind rage.
Only, whatever safety measures were in place to keep the door from flying into the audience didn't work- and a fan near the front was hit square in the chest with a large chunk of Cadillac.
Check it out in video form below- it's completely insane.
Don't worry about the fan, though- he's totally fine. According to Cageside Seats, the guy was unharmed- via a statement from the organization, he didn't even need a medic!
"WWE immediately responded to the incident during last night's show. The fan was unharmed and declined any medical attention," read the statement. Oh, and according to several unsubstantiated rumors, the WWE plied this guy with free gifts and backstage passes. All in all, it sounds like "hit with a car door" was a net positive, doesn't it? Maybe he even got to meet Lesnar afterward.
Oh, and in case you're wondering why a live wrestling show would require a man to tear apart a car with his bare hands (instead of, you know, wrestling), Chicagoist explained the gist of the match. Apparently, wrestler Seth Rollins is set to battle Lesnar for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Rollins didn't think he could beat Lesnar, and tried to bribe some fellow heavyweights with a brand new Cadillac. But Lesnar foiled his plan by, you know, reducing the car to scrap metal.
Think you could handle a flying car door to the chest?
