Police say a robber looking for someone to buy him a beer picked the wrong man to mess with and ended up getting body-slammed by a former WWE pro wrestler.
Shad Gaspard -- who once portrayed a criminal as half of the tag team Cryme Tyme -- was at the drink cooler at the Coral Springs Valero station in Coral Springs, Florida, on Saturday when Jason Felix approached, officials said.
Felix, 35, brandished what appeared to be a semi-automatic handgun. Store surveillance video showed Gaspard making quick work of disarming Felix.

The 6-foot-7, 285 pound former wrestler then "escorted" Felix out of the gas station. Officials said he threw Felix to ground and detained him until police got there.
Officers charged Felix with robbery.
In a police report, authorities said the gun brandished during the attempted robbery was actually a BB gun.
