Brock Lesnar Hits Fan With Car Door On ‘Monday Night Raw’ — Did WWE ‘Bribe’ Fan? [Video]
A fan got hit by wrestler Brock Lesnar on Monday Night Raw, but it’s probably not in the manner you’re thinking. According to the Chicagoist, the WWE show was live on Monday in Rosemont, Illinois, at the Allstate Arena. Things apparently got a little too real for one wrestling fan when Lesnar’s show of strength went a tad overboard.
Brock destroyed a brand new Cadillac in a show of brute force. To top it off, he ripped off the car door! Of course, it is Monday Night Raw; Brock Lesnar isn’t going to just lay down the door he took the time to rip off of a new car. Safety, shmafety!
Why not send that door smack dab into the audience?

Accidentally or otherwise, the hunk of metal was sent flying through the air. A short while later, at least one fan was reportedly hit by the object.
If you had concerns of an injured fan oozing blood while unconscious, there’s no need to worry. According to reports, the fan that was hit somehow managed to escape any serious harm. Talk about luck; not everyone can say they were hit by a car door at a wrestling match and walked away without even minor injuries. And the entire Brock Lesnar incident has gifted him one heck of a story to tell in the future. Not only that, but some claim the young man left the arena with a few goodies.
@wrestleone just read that he was okay and left monday night's taping with a lot of free merchandise.

Some sports fans aren’t quite so lucky.
In the case of a recent baseball fan, a woman found that front row seats can sometimes have near fatal consequences. As previously reported by the Inquisitr, a woman named Tonya Carpenter was enjoying the Boston Red Sox vs. Oakland A’s game. Without warning, a player hit a ball so hard it broke the bat and sent the larger half careening off into the stands.
Poor Carpenter took a direct blow. The severely injured fan was removed from the stands and rushed to a nearby hospital. Tonya was discharged from the hospital a few days later.

Based on that example, things could have gone far worse for the fan. Not to mention the WWE, which might have found itself on the receiving end of a massive lawsuit! Instead, we have a bizarre situation where Brock Lesnar hit a fan with a car door, and that’s the end of the story.
Should the WWE erect safety barriers to keep a more serious incident from happening in the future?
