This past weekend, there was an incident at the Smackdown house show in Tampa, Florida involving Eddie Guerrero and a disrespectful fan. Reports from several fans in attendance were that at the conclusion of the main event, Eddie Guerrero brought his daughters into the ring and danced with them. A fan threw a beverage into the ring, nearly hitting one of them. Eddie made a comment about the lack of class the fan had displayed, but resumed his post-match celebration with his daughters, while security and police went after the fan. Guerrero went to the back with his daughters, then returned to ringside alone, where he had a verbal altercation with the fan.
A source who was close to the situation has provided more details as to what happened.
The fan threw what essentially was a full beer into the ring, just missing Eddie's daughters. Eddie got on the mic and spoke of the lack of class the man had, then brought his daughters to the back. The crowd pretty much pointed out the offender, so the police could grab him. The offender apologized as soon as they grabbed him, and the Sheriffs told him they would not arrest him for drunken disorderly behavior if he apologized.
Eddie came back out with Dean Malenko, and the police brought the guy down to the guardrail for the apology. Eddie Guerrero was NOT coming back out to take a piece out of him or anything physical. Eddie told the offender that he had no class, and the guy, instead of apologizing, threw his hat at Guerrero and yelled "F*** you" at him. Eddie jumped over the rail and approached the person, but the police and a few of the fans that had stuck around were between them. Eddie didn't attack the guy, but just yelled at him. As the two were yelling, a fan decided to blindside the drunken offender and slug him.
The guy who threw the beer was arrested for disorderly behavior. The fan that hit him was also put into cuffs, but the police escorted him to his car and let him go. Fans were cheering for him for slugging the person who had been so disrespectful to Guerrero. To Eddie Guerrero's credit, he never attacked the offender, although I don't think anyone would have blamed him if he had.
