Actually, a reporter getting knocked down for asking a question is not funny in the slightest. It doesn't matter who the reporter is or what the question was. The wrestler was wrong; snickering references to the assault are juvenile.

Ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer. Maybe people shouldn't punch reporters. Maybe reporters shouldn't ask irrelevant questions of steroided up wrestlers.
