A warning to Yankees fans in Reading, Pa.: don't get too close to Alex Rodriguez or you're going to get suplexed.

David Jones of Pennlive.com shot video of the two men tasked with protecting A-Rod while he's rehabbing for the Trenton Thunder -- they're playing on Tuesday night in Reading -- and discovered one of them is Gene Snitsky, a former WWE wrestler who warned fans to "stay in the stands, cause if not, you might get hurt."

We wish were making this up.

Snitsky's stint included using a bell to, well, ring someone's bell (see the video below). And while you might think WWE wrestling isn't the real thing, just imagine facing a man listed at 6-foot-8 and 307 pounds according to Wikipedia and getting a move known simply as the "pumphandle slam."

Check out the video of Snitsky above and look out for full coverage of A-Rod's rehab game, including reports about the security and if any fan got the Running Big Boot (his signature move). PennLive also has coverage of more A-Rod venom spewed.
