A referee was attacked at C4 Wrestling show over the weekend.
According to a Reddit used named “FergusInTheHouse”: “Just prior to the main event, after the Referee was introduced, two large males jumped into the ring and attempted to assault the Ref with punches,” they wrote.
Security jumped into the fray and prevented any kind of serious assault.
“Security did there best to subdue the assailants and get them out of the Event Centre venue. There were punches thrown throughout the process from both sides but the secruity seemed to be doing it through self-defence. Once the men were thrown out they tried to come back in and another scrum ensued until they were finally cast out for good,” they continued.
The show continued with cheers for referee and security.
After some recuperation time and checking everyone was okay, the show continued with a standing ovation of support for the Ref and staff. The Ref was shaken but contiuned working.
“The crowd was confused intially thinking it was part of the story line. The two men were wearing similar outfits (grey shirt, caps, jeans) and some thought it was a tag team or something similar but soon realized it was not. The Ref seemed okay and was visibly shaken by the experience. The Wrestlers made sure that he was recognized before the match started…The host said it best: these guys are not part of the community and they definitely do not represent it at all. They are not fans,” wrote FergusInTheHouse.
Capital City Championship Combat (C4 Wrestling) is an independent professional wrestling promotion based in Ottawa, Canada.
