Unacceptable. There are a lot of people involved with making a wrestling show work and some of them never get in the ring or even close to it. In this case that would be the fans and most of the time, the majority of them are out there having a good time. Sometimes things can go south in a hurry though and unfortunately that took place again earlier this week.

This week, Ring Of Honor taped a series of matches at Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. One of the matches saw Skye Blue defeating Rachael Ellering. According to PWInsider.com, a fan was ejected for sexually harassing Blue during the match. Blue responded to the fan during the match, saying “not to be such a pervert a******.” She also told him to “f*** off.” Referee Aubrey Edwards instructed security to deal with him, resulting in the fan, with his son, being ejected. This came after Saraya had labeled several fans, including this one, as “creeps” during AEW Dynamite. Ellering has commented on the situation.
The speed in which @RefAubrey and I got out of the ring last night post match to get this creep kicked out was remarkable. Olympic medalist speeds.
I’ve NEVER in my career heard such vulgar things being said to talent during a match.
Sexual harassment is not heckling.

I do want to say this:
Thank you very much to the rowdy, respectful fans that come out to enjoy the show and support. We really appreciate you!
This guy wasn’t a fan. He was a pervert who should be banned from shows for life. https://t.co/Nhfs9d4nCr

Blue deserves better. Check out her time in the ring:
Opinion: This is one of those things where there is no good way to spin what Blue had to deal with from that person. Calling him a fan isn’t accurate as someone who actually cared about Blue, or any of the wrestlers for that matter, wouldn’t have treated them like this. Hopefully that guy is not allowed to be at any AEW show ever again as he doesn’t deserve to be there, just like the wrestlers don’t deserve to hear from him.
What do you think of Ellering’s response? What is the best comeback you’ve ever heard to a heckler? Let us know in the comments below.
