From the article:

Former WWE star Shawn Daivari told TMZ that he performed an expert wrestling move and saved the day when a
passenger went berserk on an airport-bound train out of Minneapolis on Thursday.

The perp reportedly threatened to kill everyone on the train and was yelling
racial slurs, but Daivari wasn't having that. He says he used a rear naked choke hold -- classic move -- to subdue the
would-be killer.

Aaaaand

Witnesses said Daivari squeezed the violent passenger's neck so hard he peed
his pants. Then the wrestler threw the man out at the next stop.

Good on Daivari...especially considering that he's a little guy compared to most wrestlers, and usually works as a manager.
Although how they got from "choked out one nut job" to "saved a whole train full of people" I'm not sure.

Indeed. lol
When I initially read that line , I was envisioning a muscular man scrambling about a fiery trainwreck, carrying people to safety, lifting heavy debris etc.

So does anything suggest that the crazy guy had the means to kill the train full of people?

When interviewed about the incident, Daivari had trouble hearing the question.

That guy should be thankful he started trouble with Davari and not, say, The Iron Sheik (man was an Olympic wrestler for Iran back in the day, I'd imagine he can still handle Joe Schmuckatelli if he had too) plus...look, just go on youtube and search "Iron Sheik make him humble". Keeey-ripes.
