Gianny Sosa appeared in Miami-Dade Court after he was arrested for allegedly trying the wrestling move on headteacher Humberto Mire. The 18-year-old is said to have attempted to hit the RKO on the educator at Southridge High. Defense attorney Roy Ugarte called the arrest report “hands down one of the most insane” he’d ever read. Orion’s finishing move – made famous in WWE – is now a internet meme in its own right. WWE fans often insert the 13-time world champion and the wrestling firms’ commentators in clips of people falling over or suffering various misfortunes.

Ugarte fumed to Judge Renetha Francis during the court hearing – saying Sosa “shouldn’t have been arrested”. In the bizarre courtroom scenes, the attorney mimed performing the RKO on the teen. He said: “It should have been handled within the four corners of the school – like it would have been when I was a child. “He should have got a detention and been scolded, he shouldn’t have been arrested.”

Prosecutors said there was “probable cause” for the battery and there was physical contact in the move. “Everyone knows wrestling is fake. It is professional wrestling, we are not talking about Roman-Greco wrestling,” Ugarte said. Sosa had attempted to execute the move on the teacher in the hallways on the school. He was handed a bond of $750 over the incident in Florida.

Orton is one of the biggest stars in WWE and his RKO move has transcended wrestling into popular culture. The Viper’s finishing move – which is a jumping cutter – has been emulated countless times by fans. WWE’s resident Legend Killer was defeated this weekend at WrestleMania by AJ Styles. The 38-year-old is a Grand Slam and a Triple Crown champion in WWE, and got his start in the industry when he was just 20.
