Wrestlers take their craft very seriously and hate when journalists call wrestling fake.
Back in 1997, wrestler Vader sparked an international incident when he grabbed a reporter for questioning the legitimacy of wrestling during an interview in Kuwait.
Earlier this year, Grayson Waller nearly got into a fight with a reporter that began mocking him off-camera.
The WWE is currently in Australia for their upcoming Perth card, and another wrestler got in with a reporter.
In a video going viral on social media, WWE star Austin Theory could be seen threatening to slap an Australian reporter for calling wrestling fake.

If you ever run into a WWE wrestler in person it’s probably not a good idea to tell them that wrestling is fake.
