MTV's History of Violence: A Movieline Timeline

2003: Abe vs. Donell vs. the Term 'Redneck', Road Rules: South Pacific

Abe was the first Road Rules player to be eliminated from two different seasons. In the first, Road Rules: Viewers' Revenge, Abe punched Adam. In South Pacific, he knocked out Donell for calling him "ignorant."

2005: A Local Punches Danny, Real World: Austin

Danny learned that the reality TV is not all its cracked up to be when an angry local charged him and literally broke his face the first night of taping.

2007: Kid Rock and Tommy Lee Battle, Video Music Awards

2007: Cape Town Smackdown, Real World/Road Rules Challenge: The Inferno 3
