Dead Man Walking kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! On his way into the ring it seems that Emporio Cannabino has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Emporio Cannabino seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
