According to the store clerk, Gaspard quickly shoved the suspect against a cooler door and reached for his gun, before it fell to the floor.

Later, he realized it was only a BB gun.

The 6-foot-7, 300-pound former wrestler then "escorted" the man outside, slammed him to the ground and held him until police arrived.

The Miami Herald reports Jason Felix is now charged with robbery.

Gaspard wrestled for the WWE from 2005 to 2010.
