Ok before you go into reading this, i know its of little interest to most, but i found it funny as it happend just a few miles away, and i have also read eye witness accounts of the incident and, funny enough they were much differant from the Suns reporting.
Apparently the Kickboxing guys were taunting the wrestlers, and it got to the point where they actually attacked a referee, the one in question being 5'6 and 130lbs, so of course the wrestlers stepped in to break it up, they held down a couple of the guys till security removed them, but again the kick boxers returned and attacked the wrestlers, this time a few more of the bigger guys got involved to hold them back including this guy called Dave Bautista who is an absolute monster. Long story short, they had security and the police haul them off after holding these guys down. There was no major brawl as suggested, and the sun in its expert journalism, is trying to make guests to our country look bad for protecting themselves, while trying to make drunk Brits who started it all, look like the victims.

[quote]The Sun newspaper in the UK has posted an article regarding the fight between the kickboxers and WWE stars today. Below is a copy of the article which gives the whole story:

Hmmm... Is it me or does this article state the boxers started it? I think so... Must have been an awsome show...

Depends which part of the article you read.
One part says a kick boxer accidently backed into the wrestler who then hit him.
And the other says, it was a couple of their guys who got a bit rowdy after a few too many drinks and started yelling at the wrestlers.

The whole point is, the article blows the incident way out of proportion there were no flying bottles, or skinny kick-boxers, it was a case of a couple of wrestlers restraining them till security dragged them off.
