10 Times Wrestlers Were HORRIBLE To Fans

7. Bully Ray Intimidates Fan For Reacting

Bully Ray was very nasty to fans in ECW as part of his gimmick.

His heat was cheaper than Mick Foley's wardrobe, but it was all a performance. He would say things like "Your motha is a hoo-ah and her twot is a tresh beg", vile stuff, but again: it was his gimmick. It was his incredibly easy, anybody-could-do-it gimmick, and yet he goes on like he's Freddie Blassie and would get acid thrown at him by ringside fans.

Back in June 2019, at a Ring Of Honor show, one of the few fans who was not a blue dot on the seating map - John Ketch - interacted with both Mandy Leon and Bully Ray's then-partner Velvet Sky, While Ketch maintained when reaching out for comment that he did not use foul language, referring to the Allure stable as the "tramp stamp trio" was mean-spirited at a minimum. When Sky referred to him as a virgin, per his account, he responded "you have sex with that fat turd Bully Ray". Ketch alleged that Sky sprayed perfume in his mouth.

Word made its way back to Bully, and while he claims he acted with "decorum" in a brief chat that ended with him telling Ketch to "go be a fan", this must have been intimidating. Also, Bully has said far worse throughout his career.

ROH launched an internal investigation in the aftermath and, moreover, Kevin Owens gifted Ketch free tickets for a WWE show.
