Just gunna say one thing...
If a guy decides to lay a hand on me whilst I'm in the process of wrestling, entering, or cutting a promo, I'll be more than glad to lay a hand on him back. That's when it becomes self defense. A piece of paper on the other hand is nothing worth getting upset over. You just have to learn how to harness those moments and use them to your advantage. Never let a fan think he can beat you up...if he does, then you're not believable.
I've punked out many a fan and had the crowd with me for the rest of the match. My goal is to get a guy at every show to want to meet me in the parking lot. I'll insult him, his mom, his girlfriend/boyfriend...anyone...to get the heat it will take to get the match and show over.
You never saw Freddie Blassie worry about what he said to the fans in order to get heat. Hell, he was stabbed a dozen times for doing so.
SSK
P.S. I REALLY wanna get stabbed by a fan. It's another goal of mine.

Exactly if I allowed him to punk out styles we would not be believable and If he wouldve touched me I wouldve cracked his F'N head wide open. Thanks Kennedy I knew you'd understand.

Trust me, I understand about being believable. If you think that is what this whole point is about, you have misunderstood a lot more than you think.

This is one that maybe I should stay out of but beings that it is being discussed in a board and I have slept on it I will give you my take coming from a fan.
I love this sport/ entertainment and the truth is most involved do as well. Using the word Retard in front of others who have disabilities that are not their own doing is just wrong. As a promoter or a wrestler your main goal in a show is to 1) Entertain the fans 2) Sell tickets to the next show. Who was entertained by saying that at the show? I can’t say because I wasn’t in attendance but I would be willing to bet it was not the kind of heat you want for the company or Pro Wrestling.
I work with health care individuals who have disabilities and when Pro Wrestling comes close to me I try to convince my supervisors to go to a show and I have been fortunate to not been a part of such incidents or else we might not be able to go and I would not take them. The residents have gone and not only were their tickets paid for but they also bought wrestlers merchandise, so the wrestlers were able to sell pictures, t-shirts, books and most of these wrestlers they had never heard
I am not here to judge Mephisto and Styles on the type of person they are by one comment as I have said/done things I regret before but I do hope they see that they were wrong for saying it and try to refrain from it.

Flair hit the nail right on the head! SELLING TICKETS! The wrestlers want more fans in the audience because it makes the show more fun. They also NEED more fans in the audience because all wrestlers WANT TO GET PAID. THe more tickets sold, the more money wrestlers can possibly make. And obviously, the promoter wants money for tickets.
Sure the word "retard" is politically incorrect and is hurtful to say in front of those with developmental disabilities. I believe George 3 said this earlier, know your audience. If you feel you must use that word to insult a fan or fans, just make sure there aren't any developmentally disabled fans in the audience or at least CLEAR IT WITH THE PROMOTER FIRST.

I've been cut by a fan, let me tell you it's a scary yet exhilirating expierence. And what did I do to have this happen, just pissed one guy off a bit too much. No cussing, no shoving, but hell of mind games. Granted the guy got arrested and he should have, but thats not the point. Mephisto you are better than having to stoop down and use the word retard, hell I'ver seen you bugger off crowds without the word. You just gotta be careful, like you said in this pollitically correct world, everybody is over everything you say.
