SMITHFIELD - Police have charged a Selma man with taking a swing at a World Wrestling Entertainment superstar during a pool game at a Smithfield bar.

Police charged Dustin Curtis Narron, 29, of 253 Live Oak Church Road in Selma, with assault and battery after "a little disturbance" early Tuesday, according to Smithfield Police Lt. Keith Powell. Police have accused Narron of balling up his fist and striking the face of Gregory Shane Helms, 33, of 101 Heritage Drive in Smithfield.

Wrestling fans know Helms as "The Hurricane," one of the longest-reigning Cruiserweight champions in history, according to the WWE Web site. The pro wrestler's bio on the WWE Web site lists his hometown as Raleigh.

WWE spokesman Adam Hopkins said Wednesday that Helms is inactive for now because of an injury.

"He's been out awhile," Hopkins said. "He had surgery for a neck injury."

Helms' character was once a mild-mannered reporter who doubled as a sports entertainment superhero fighting for truth, justice and the WWE way, but in later years he cared for no one but himself, according to WWE's Web site.

The wrestler's former persona must have kicked in during the sports bar scuffle Tuesday morning.

"Mr. Helms did not strike back," Powell said

The unsanctioned skirmish took place inside the N&N Sports Bar at 150-G South Equity Drive, police reported.

Powell said an argument broke out between Helms and another man during a pool game. Narron, a friend of the man Helms was arguing with, hit the professional wrestler in the face, according to police.

"A scuffle ensued, but people got in between the two before anything else could happen," Powell said.

Narron also was charged with vandalism after police accused him of breaking a wooden ledge off a shelf during the scuffle, Powell said.

Smithfield police took Narron to the Johnston County jail, where he was released after posting $500 bail, a jail spokesman said Wednesday.

Bar Fight Nonsense!


Just a quick note to let everyone know I'm fine. I hate when my name is attached to such retardedness (is that even a word) but sometimes, no matter how hard one tries, trouble can find it's way to you. Kinda like how bugs are drawn to a light. After breaking my neck and losing my mom in the same year, the last thing I need to happen is to be arrested for beating up some chumpstain in a bar fight. I've always been amazed when people try to fight pro wrestlers. I mean, I understand or at least I try to understand that having any kind of celebrity status, no matter how major or minor, puts a bull's-eye on your back, but what do these people think? Do they think that they are gonna get our contract if they somehow win the fight? Do they really think it's gonna prove anything? I remember one time watching some guy try to fight Meng and I was just shocked because there was no way in this world that this guy could beat Meng, yet there he was acting like a total tool! Why??? And then, take my altercation for example, this guy is pretty much known as a career-loser, so did he think that fighting me would somehow make his life better? And what would I have to gain by whooping his ass? Nothing! Which, is why I was trying my best to ignore this jackoff. At least until he decided to swing on me. Important note here, he only swung when he saw I was being held. We got a name for that where I come from, it starts with a "B" and rhymes with bitch! Smile Hell, he's lucky Velvet Sky didn't get a hold of him, as mad as she was, I'd bet a year's salary that she woulda beat him down. Smile



Anyway peeps, thanks for the support as always. And if you go out tonight or this weekend, beware of haters and losers, remember: They are more of them, than there are of us!



PS: Go see Iron Man!!
