The pro wrestling world is full of unpredictable events. Sometimes, the real violence can be seen in the crowd instead of the ring.
A night of wrestling at Little Mania Wrestling took a turn Saturday when a fight broke out among fans during the show at Southpaw Bar & Grill in Murphysboro, Illinois. A video of the ordeal was shared online, and Ringside News obtained a copy of the unedited video.
The January 10 event promoted midget violence throughout the night inside a mini wrestling ring set up in the bars back room. The event drew a full crowd and continued as scheduled while the incident unfolded off to the side. This was a sold-out event, and some fans who were at the show reported that tensions were high among the crowd due to the packed house and how the venue handled that amount of people.
According to witnesses, an apparent disagreement between several people in the crowd escalated during the show. Its unclear what started the fight, but things escalated quickly. At least one man and one woman were removed from the venue as staff intervened and separated those involved. One security guard had to pick up a man and literally carry him out, which you can see in the video.
Police were called to the scene and arrived while the event was still ongoing. Multiple officers were present inside and outside the venue. At this time, it is not known whether any arrests were made or if charges will be filed.
While the wrestling matches remained the focus of the event, the bar fight took center stage for a portion of the night. The show continued afterward and concluded as planned. No official statements have been released by police, the venue, or event organizers, and no injuries have been confirmed.
