Since 2013, 2-time WWE Women’s Champion Victoria (aka Lisa Marie Varon) has owned and operated ‘The Squared Circle,’ a wrestling-themed pizza parlor in Lincoln Park, Chicago. They’ve got great pizza and you can watch wrestling while you eat it. That in itself is an effective sales pitch.
According to a story posted earlier today on TMZ Sports, Varon’s husband and store manager Lee was forced to take the action from the TVs to the damn floor when an armed man entered the restaurant and, I quote, “started making trouble inside the women’s bathroom.”
That’s when Victoria’s husband, Lee approached the man to find out what the hell he was up to. According to Victoria, the man tried to push his way into the kitchen … so Lee sprung into action and attempted to physically restrain him.
Lee says he saw the man reaching for his waistband and believed he had a gun — so he slammed the guy down to the ground. Turns out, Lee’s instincts were right … the guy did have a gun — which was quickly recovered by one of the cooks. Cops were called to the scene and arrested 18-year-old Arnez Harper on a count of felony aggravated unlawful use of a weapon.
“He (my husband) used to be a bouncer when he was a young lad,” Victoria says of her hubby … “I think that guy crossed the wrong person.”
The clip from the altercation is pretty fantastic, with Lee going full Brock Lesnar on the guy, hoisting up by the waist and walking around the kitchen. He never had a chance, thank God.

We’re happy the situation resolved itself, although it would’ve been nice to have seen Victoria pop in and drop this guy with a Widow’s Peak. Next time you want to get threatening in a women’s restroom, maybe don’t pick the restaurant full of people who can flapjack you against your will.
