Personally I think he did the smartest thing possible, their ultimate goal was to get attention and get on TV, he gave them that moment and you didn't hear or see from them again for the rest of the show.
Its really upsetting to see that in an entertainment event, you are not allowed to have a reasonable amount of fun.
Don't want your fans to sabotage and steal attention from your show, then put on something worth watching instead.

There is no problem dressing up as your favourite wrestler but when you act like an ass it becomes a problem. If I was sitting beside those guys I would've complained because their antics would've ruined the show for me.

Weren't they on the camera side at the beginning? Then i think they were moved. i am not sure but they were pretty cool. I don't see what the big deal was. Reminds of the time someone dressed up i think like Hogan at WM 20 and got a huge pop and chants during the brock/goldberg match.

"This week in wrestling news, Ultimate Warrior may or may not be in hot water with certain backstage entities, we aren't sure but we're 46% he'll be returning this Wednesday, 15% sure he'll be held back until WM39, latest backstage word is that he'll return as Ultimate Warrior".
For one, wrestling news has gotten dumber.
Two, it's The Rock. Of course nothing will be done.
Three, nothing should be done either way. This is the kind of thing that would make the company MORE entertaining, befitting to their name. Yet the immediate reaction is fear.

the problem with stuff like this is that The Rock goes and does it...now these guys are "famous" so it ABSOLUTELY encourages other people to do the same things. It's easy for us to sit at home and be like "meh whats the big deal" but this is why they dont show people who run onto fields in sports, or even the guys who have jumped the barricades at WWE shows.
fame makes people do completely dumb shit. and guys have gotten hurt and/or killed because of it.
while what Rock did was funny, and made for a memorable thing, i can understand why the venue security was trying to settle those guys down. it was clear that at least Hogan guy was plastered beyond belief.
but i dont think we needed a news report to tell us that if anyone else did what Rock did they would have been suspended, fired or jobbed out for the next 2 years.
THAT is an even bigger problem

I had no problem with them being moved to the other side of the hard camera and though I'm not surprised Vince freaked out when Rock went off script and used that time to talk to the 4 dudes who "hijacked" the show, it was a fun segment and it's the Rock, one of the most personable and engaging stars of all-time who's also a part-timer so what can you do. This shouldn't even be a big deal for anyone in the company since Monday was 3 days ago and they're not gonna be at the next Raw.

Seemed pretty harmless to me. Should be a non-story.
Rock's untouchable status allows him to be spontaneous, which is the sort of thing that is seriously missing from today's product, and every time he shows up it just highlights how handcuffed the rest of the roster is.

Shame on those guys! I much rather have people filling up the front rows who were given ticket by corporations that were sponsoring the event so they can sit there on TV and look bored out of their mind texting on their phone and staring off in space wondering when Goldberg, Steve Austin, Shawn Michaels and all the rest of the guys they "use to watch when wrestling was cool" are going to come out!

The only thing I liked about the segment was that it was spontaneous. The fact that someone actually improvised, instead of following a script to the word gave it a much lighter feeling segment.

This report was posted yesterday and I locked it due to some dumb comments. But punksnotdead summed the whole thing up perfectly... I was there, the fan was trying to upstage the show. Security went over to him 3 times before they moved him and his buddies from one side to the other. Bray Wyatt also yelled at him because he was hijacking the audience during the match between Kane and Bray. The fans got behind the guy, so in that regard I don't necessarily put it on the guy for appeasing the audience, but people were there to see WWE. Not some dipsh*t and his drunk buddies dressed in wrestler costumes. The guy stood on his chair and posed as Macho Man at one point while a match was going, and this was after security had been over to him twice. He was in the front row too and all of that was making it onto TV. You view it however you want. I think the guy was being an assh*le, even if it was funny. It's one thing to have fun, it's another to be distracting. |

Well, the idiots were doing fine at the beginning, but once you start acting like a fool, I think it's time to step in. WWE made a smart move by moving them, the Macho Man guy shouldn't be spinning in the crowd, it's distracting and rude.

The classic Superstars continue to shake things up and take the spotlight.  Tossing out some idiot, drunk fans is all well and good.... I've got to wonder though if around thirty years or more from now fans will want to be going to events dressing up like Sheamus, Roman Reigns or John Cena.... |

I don't have a problem with people dressing up but I find it annoying when they try to hijack the show for attention, which they clearly were trying to do. I don't blame them for moving them, and honestly I am surprised they didn't kick them out based on what they have done with others in the past. the segment worked because The Rock was there, and that is the only reason it did, but in the end who cares. Though it does encourage other jackasses to do the same thing on other shows.
I was more bothered by Rock's slut shaming of Lana which is dated and awful shtick.

 this child friendly , PG garbage. Kids grow up. They should want to keep lifelong fans. Not just 5-10 year olds. Rocks going off script with those dude was ing epic. And , as he said, The weed is totally bomb whereever they were at. That was awesome. I love The Rock. And I hate the PG/child friendly thought process . Go back to where you made your money. With pushy, adult content filled product. Attitude Era Rulz!! Lulz. *Rolls eyes* |

The chants were pretty loud. What is that saying about the product when fans are more entertained by a drunk guy dressed like Savage than what's going on in the ring? It's pretty sad that a couple of fans are able to hijack the flagship show in a sold out arena. I don't want to turn this into "bash creative" but if there was more interesting things happening on Raw, no one would pay attention to those dudes.

This return has been the one time since 03 I've found The Rock interesting, his promo wasnt aimed at kids and actually held my attention and made me not want to miss it.
I get that fans are probably more likely to try and "get famous" now because Rocky did that, but then WWE need to get their security on the ball.

I despise when fans "hijack" the show (the term itself is ing intellectually- disabled.) You're not special, nobody gives a crap about you and you're desperate need for attention. Chants like "we are awesome!" And other distractions from the event are ridiculous. If you don't like the product, don't shell out the money to go see it and then be a jack off, because people there DO still enjoy it. It's like going out of your way to buy food that you don't eat just to bad mouth it to the cook. I'm glad they tossed those knobs out of the building. |

Wow someone must have taken a leak in your cereal lol. They obviously went because they like the product, they wanted to have a good time, and hopefully did. Unless they get too rowdy with other folks in the crowd or try to jump the barricade or something, I honestly don't see what the problem is when folks are just trying to have fun. And everyone in the arena seemed to be eating it up, much more than the Kane/Wyatt match was so I'd say that those 3-4 fans for a few minutes gave better entertainment than the show did. |

Bingo. The Kane/Wyatt match was boring. There was nothing compelling about it. What should've been done instead of that shoddy match was having the Wyatts cut a promo talking about how they destroyed the Beast Incarnate at the Rumble and have become untouchable.
