Joe Black was on his way to the ring to take on Anthony Henry at the American Legion in Augusta, GA. He was sidetracked by a fan and the men quickly were face-to-face. Black seemed to attempt to knock something out of the man’s hands before the fan threw a headbutt.
The words cannot be made out between either men. Security stepped in to separate the two. Black proceeded to go after the fan once again rising his shirt before the man was escorted out.
The IWE Pro-wresting made a statement following the incident that took place.
“An unfortunate event happened at the show tonight which will be addressed by IWE personnel.
We want to thank everyone for coming out tonight and apologize for any inconveniences that may have occurred.”
