10 Times Wrestlers Were HORRIBLE To Fans
The Self-Destruction of the Ultimate Warrior DVD was probably too kind...
Sometimes, the pro wrestler is justified in attacking (or at least ignoring) the fan.
Obviously, in the context of a fictional performance, the heel should rile them up. Not to explain this like you're five, like every wrestling documentary voiceover ever, but punters buy a ticket with full knowledge that their sports team will get buried. They might even get singled out and called a specky tw*t. They might even get their sign ripped up.
If a fan attacks a performer in the ring, it's reasonable to justify a hard tackle and a hold with which the assailant can be subdued. There could exist a threat to life.
Also, those who harass wrestlers in airports to sell autographed merchandise on eBay can go to hell. Airports are an anxiety-inducing place to begin with. You should be allowed to inexplicably feel like you're breaking the law, check you've downloaded your boarding pass 400 times, and drink a phenomenally overpriced beer in peace without some ghoul screaming in your face and demanding that you, in effect, hand of over hundreds of dollars.
On other occasions, however...

What would a normal person, who wasn't a piece of garbage, say in this scenario?
"Yes, I am the Ultimate Warrior. Thank you for believing me in me and remember to live your life down the right path. And, with a quick scribble of my pen, that completes this sub-30 second interaction!"
What did the Ultimate Warrior say in this scenario?
"F*ck off, squirt."
Now, the Warrior himself, when made to apologise by Vince McMahon - as was captured on an A&E documentary - was adamant that he didn't do nothin'.
However, the following circumstantial evidence might just work against him...
