What happens when Diego Maradona thinks you winked at his ex-wife? The Argentinean soccer legend uses the same "Hand of God" that he used to score in the 1986 World Cup to slap the f*ck out of you, that's what. A reporter learned this lesson the hard way, when he was spotted by Maradona supposedly gesturing towards his ex-wife.

According to a report from Deadspin (which translated the quote via Google Translate), Diego exited his car and confronted the reporter by saying, "What's up fool? Why you mess with my wife if I do not mess with you?" 

He then smacked him and casually returned to his car, like the crazy, unhinged boss that he can be. And this isn't the first time Maradona has thrown down over a perceived slight. Back in 2012, when he was a manager in the UAE league, he had to be physically restrained by stadium security from charging the stands to fight rival fans. The cause? They heckled his girlfriend. Of course.

Basically, you don't want to mess with Argentina's god of soccer or the women in his life.
