A deputy opened fire on a man outside the WWE’s Performance Center in Orlando — seriously injuring an individual who has a history of bizarre incidents involving WWE.
An Orange County Sheriff’s deputy confronted Armando Alejandro Montalvo at the WWE Performance Center on Monday afternoon. The situation reportedly turned violent, and that’s when the deputy fired.
According to documents obtained by TMZ.com, the wrestling organization got a restraining order against Montalvo earlier this month after a string of violent run-ins at the facility. Earlier this summer, Montalvo spread his feces and urine on the building. He even posted video of himself mixing the human waste and reduced fat milk in a bucket while repeatedly mentioning former WWE Diva AJ Lee.
On multiple occasions he allegedly showed up in a wrestling outfit, banged on windows, and made threats because WWE wouldn’t hire him. One of the times he was swinging a large chain, and police had to subdue him at gunpoint.
Just last week, Montalvo posted a video of himself outside the building saying he was going to go ask for a job. He said, “What’s the worst they can say?”
There has been confusion over the identity of Montalvo’s obsession. He posted YouTube videos of himself mentioning Lee and police said at a press conference that Montalvo was “fixated” on an NXT Diva who was not at the Performance Center on Monday. Wrestling Observer Newsletter editor Dave Meltzer mentioned on F4WOnline.com that “Lee was not the person he was fixated on during the past month.” The woman in question is apparently Amy “Lita” Dumas, who was working at the Performance Center this summer as a judge for Tough Enough.
According to a police report that has surfaced online, Montalvo was arrested on Aug. 4 for trespassing at the Performance Center after being warned. Upon being placed under arrest, Montalvo repeatedly asked the officer if he had seen Lita and that he loves her.
… Armando kept asking if I saw Lita while I was inside the building. Armando kept stating that he loves Lita and that she is attractive. Armando also kept laughing and stating that what was happening was “awesome” and that he loves this shit in reference to the entire incident and his involvement in it …
The officer searched Montalvo’s vehicle and found a large white board with writing that read “Lita I love (heart shape) you.”
During the week of that arrest, Montalvo posted this collage featuring Lita on Instagram.
According to TMZ.com, Montalvo underwent surgery after being shot.
