A man who was shot by police outside the WWE Performance Center in 2015 has been found incompetent and has been sent to a mental health facility in Florida, according to WKMG out of Orlando.
Armando Montalvo was shot by police in the parking lot of the WWE Performance Center on August 31, 2015. He had a history of bizarre behavior outside the facility, including spreading his feces and urine on the building. He even posted a video on YouTube where he mixed his waste with reduced fat milk.
Montalvo was obsessed with former WWE superstar Lita, who was frequently at the WWE training facility at that point in time as she was filming her role on WWE Tough Enough.
The day police shot Montalvo, they responded to a disturbance at the WWE Performance Center caused by the man. A confrontation ensued, with police opening fire when Montalvo grabbed some rocks and charging at one of the officers.
Montalvo was shot in the chest but survived. He was charged with aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, resisting arrest and trespassing.
Montalvo had been out on bond but his bond was revoked following another arrest. His next hearing is scheduled for January 31, 2018.

Comic-Con is barely underway, yet there’s already some big WWE news coming out of San Diego — Mattel has announced they’re making a WWE line of female dolls.
A statement on the new line reads: “Mattel and WWE are launching a girls’ product line that features the first-ever fashion dolls of Nikki and Brie Bella, Sasha Banks, Natalya, Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, Alicia Fox and Eva Marie, to leverage the popularity of WWE’s female Superstars and give its sizable girl fan base a new way to connect with their favorite brands.”
Eva’s inclusion in the line is interesting, since it’s been looking like she’s on her way out of WWE.
The dolls will also have role play items like a WWE Women’s Championship title belt, a Bayley-inspired headband and Sasha Bank’s “Legit Boss” rings.
Pre-order is available online at Toysrus.com beginning July 24 and exclusively at Toys“R”Us stores nationwide this September.
NOTE: The art in the story is just an idea of what they say the dolls will look like and not the final product.

If you want to watch ex-ROH wrestler Donovan Dijak mix it up on the independent scene, you better hurry … because the wrestler says he won’t be taking bookings much longer.
Dijak told The New Age Insiders that he’s no longer accepting bookings after PWG‘s annual Battle of Los Angeles — which takes place September 1-3 — but remained coy about his future.
Adding, “There’s obviously going to be a lot of speculation as to what I’m doing. My future isn’t 100 percent completely set in stone at this point yet.”
After a promise of exciting things on the horizon though, Donovan was asked if he had any plans to attend Full Sail University — where WWE films NXT — and he responded by saying, “I’ve been to Full Sail University. It’s a wonderful place.”
