Thanks to James Creek for sending in the following account of the “WCW Nitro” sign guy who was ejected from the building in Des Moines last night.
The fan previously posted a Reddit thread blasting WWE for what he felt was unfair treatment, and you can read that at this link:

The “fan” was not thrown out over the sign. He wasn’t even asked about the sign with WCW on it. He was asked about another of his five signs that had a hashtag on it. He was told first not to hold that particular sign up again. He did, so it was confiscated. He was so intoxicated that he didn’t even know which sign the security guard wanted, and handed him three. His entire group were wasted well before the show even started.
Later security approached him again because he was being obnoxious. He and his group were screaming at the top of their lungs, directly into the ears of the kid in front of them, during times when nothing was going on and the rest of the crowd was basically quiet. They were screaming the wrong chants at the wrong wrestlers, again when the rest of the crowd was silent. It just got to a boiling point with several people around them. So security came over, and told them to knock it off or get kicked out.
They left VERY close to the end of the show, during the main event, of their own free will. I saw no one actually kick them out. If they sought out the security guards after leaving, I didn’t see that either.
Just thought I’d clarify that WWE was not in the wrong in this one. They were making the show a miserable experience for everyone around them. My brother and I were right next to them the whole time, and it really dragged the show down for me.
