WWE Hall of Famer Tony Atlas has baffled wrestling fans with a bizarre New Year's message featuring a video of him being punched and kicked repeatedly by a woman.
Atlas, 68, was known for various stints with WWE between the 1980s and 1990s, as well as a strange stint in 2009 where he would stand behind a microphone and laugh loudly during a talk show on ECW.
But now his latest social media post has caused a stir after the former WWE Tag Team Champion – which he won alongside the Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson's dad Rocky – appeared lying on a floor while being punched an kicked by a woman.

In total, during the 26-second clip she punches him 50 times – yes, we counted.
She them moves on to stomping on his face.

“#Tough #Old #man !#stomp #Kick #Punch it's all in the mind and making me feel fine.”
