Incidente com Randy Orton no house-show poderá ter sido algo planeado pela WWE

Durante o dia de hoje surgiram novos dados sobre o incidente que aconteceu ontem no house-show da WWE na África do Sul onde Randy Orton foi atacado por um fã.....

Segundos várias mensagens de espectadores do show que conhecem o panorama do wrestling local, a pessoa que atacou Orton foi um lutador local de nome The Black Smith. Eis algumas mensagens de fãs enviadas para o WrestleZone

I was at the Cape Town event last night. The incident with the fan and Randy Orton may be a work. The "fan" is a local wrestler called Blacksmith. He trains regularly (4- 5 days a week) at the gym where I am a manager. Adding fuel to the matter is that some people who were in attendance claim that the event security opened up a gap towards the finish of the Orton/Langston match where the "fan"/Blacksmith was able to enter the ring.

The guy who 'attacked' Randy Orton during last night's event at the Gran West Arena was local South African wrestler The Blacksmith. Many fans in the arena found the whole incident strange and suspicious as he was posing for photos before the show with fans who recognized him. He was sitting 5 or 6 rows in front of my friends and I. He entered the ring when the event crew backed-off from the security spots giving him the window to proceed into the ring. Everyone on the bus home was suspicious about the whole thing, a few people reckon its a WWE publicity stunt to sell tickets or to take away attention from TNA's August1 videos given the fact that people would be watching footage of Orton's so-called attack.

I attended this infamous WWE event last night. People were posing for photos with the guy who attacked Randy Orton last night. The attacker is a domestic wrestler called The Black Smith. The general feeling in South Africa is that this whole thing is a PR stunt and not a legitimate incident as that of the Pieter van Zyl, the fan who attacked a referee in an international rugby match between South Africa and New Zealand back in 2002 which was a legitimate occurrence. Sorry to burst the bubble, but this thing was planned. The Black Smith was a plant. No Steve Bartman incident here.

Diz ainda o WrestleZone que ao contrário de incidentes passados onde a WWE quis rapidamente abafar qualquer situação, desta vez a promotora contactou o website para oferecer uma declaração oficial. Para além disso a WWE usou vídeos de fãs para mostrar o incidente e é algo que nunca faz.

Entretanto o fã/lutador que atacou Orton começa a receber os créditos dos cinco minutos de fama e hoje deu uma entrevista a um jornal local: mas surge um conflito de reports pois este fã afirma que se chama Tshepo Sekhabi

An over eager fan was met with a boot to the head from WWE wrestler Randy Orton in Cape Town yesterday after he jumped into the ring and hit Orton in the groin.

Local wrestling fan Tshepo Sekhabi, who quit his job in Johannesburg to attend the event, left yesterday night's WWE world tour in Cape Town with a black eye and swollen face after getting kicked just under the eye by Orton.

The World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) is currently performing events across South Africa as part of its World Tour.

Sekhabi (20) scaled the security barrier and easily evaded the events security guards to enter the ring where Orton was celebrating a victory against fellow wrestler Big E Langston.

Sekhabi had time to pause and size up Orton, who was standing on the rings corner ropes, before executing a shocking blow to the wrestlers groin.

Orton fell to the canvas following the hit as security rushed in to apprehend the assailant. Security managed to haul Sekhabi out of the ring, but not before the ‘Apex Predator’ managed to cross the ring and deliver a solid kick to his attackers head.

An equally irate Langston, real name Ettore Ewen, also had to be restrained by security from accosting Sekhabi outside of the ring.

Sekhabi was escorted to the casino’s security offices where he was issued with a five-year ban notice.

In the offices Sekhabi, who said he doesn’t drink or take any drugs, eagerly posed for photos and willingly gave a statement to security personnel.

Calling himself “Jozi, the wrestling machine” Sekhabi said he planned the attack before he arrived said “I just don’t like Randy Orton, this was an opportunity for me so I got up there and made a name for myself.”
