This is ridiculous, for just about all the reasons already covered in this thread. Just imagine this kid at a house show in the 90s or early 2000s, even.

The response in this thread is really sickening. A 7 year old getting upset at a wrestler berating him is "pussification of America"? Really?! And some people saying that they love seeing a kid get upset? That's just sick! Forget the parent for a minute. Just put yourself in the shoes of that 7 year old. At 7 years old, did you know that wrestling was scripted? Would you have loved to have been verbally criticised by someone you saw as one of your heroes? If you answered "yes" to either of those questions, then you're either lying, or you should at least be able to accept that that is not the case for every 7 year old. Children are sensitive. You know why? Because they are children! You can't seriously behave a young child to react as an adult would to this situation. It's very easy to understand how this would have been a devastating and heartbreaking event for a young child. If you can't empathise with the child, then you have something wrong with you. As adults we know that this is what heels are supposed to do. They're not supposed to be liked. But children don't know that. There would be absolutely no problem with this behaviour towards a teen or an adult. Young children should be off-limits at events, unless they know in advance, or they receive consolation afterwards (like Sasha giving flowers to that Bayley fan). I honestly believe most people in this thread have some growing up to do, and need to take a good long look at themselves and reevaluate themselves as human beings. You might be taking this all a bit too seriously. If, as according to you, the 7 year old doesn't understand the difference between scripted and kayfabe then his reaction was still over blown. He was wearing a Roman Reigns t-shirt while trying to get a high five from Kevin Owens! A kayfabe fan would expect Roman's current rival to react to the shirt negatively. A fan who knows its all scripted would expect a heel Owens to react negatively. This kid expected Owens to react to him favorably which was unrealistic in either the scripted or kayfabe world. In other words, the kid is living in a pipe dream world where he can have his cake and eat it too. Mommy needs to sit him down and explain how things work, not go on an internet rant about evil Kevin Owens.

I think this thread may have uncovered a raw nerve that nobody can help you get through...but I really think you need to reevaluate the article. First, what did Owens say to the kid. "Don't buy my shirt", "Don't try to touch me", and "I am your father". Oh, and he also refused to high-five him (which is something most heels won't do anyway, so I don't know why they would think that was a good idea). He didn't curse him out, he didn't assault him, he didn't spit on him...nothing. He used words, and didn't let the kid get what he wanted. Boo---frickin---hoo Then, on top of all that...you know what we're all (especially you, apparently) are forgetting? ALL WE HAVE IS THIS WOMAN'S WORD THAT THIS IS TRUE! The kid has probably already forgotten about this happening. But because this is 2016, mommy had to race to the internet to let everyone know how big a dick a BAD GUY wrestler is and how ING evil the WWE corporation is. Give me two ing Kit Kat breaks. Yes, this is EX- ING-ACTLY what is wrong with America in 2016.

Hi, We're talking about the Mother not the child. She was the one causing the problems and coddling her child, she's the one causing the pussiciation of America. You giving us a child psychology lesson, and then telling us we need to take a look in the mirror when you're not even following the conversation correctly doesn't help either. k bye.

It's probably an experience that the kid will laugh about in a few years when he's older. And to the people who are saying he's only seven and this wasn't right, he'll be fine. 7 year old boys are tougher than people give them credit for. They scrape their knees, get bruises, beat the hell out of each other and watch wrestling. He'll be fine, relax. The mom had the right intent on wanting to protect her child but her execution was lame and screams milking the story for sympathy. The state of the other relatives in attendance while unfortunate had no relation to what happened. Sometimes people having the power of social media to bring attention to things leads to making mountains out of molehills.

When I was a little kid Arn Anderson turned around, pointed straight at me, and yelled "Shut up fat boy!" in my face.
It is still one of my favorite wrestling memories ever.
My grandfather started taking me to wrestling at a very young age around 1981. But he also made sure I knew what was up, and that some fans take it too seriously, and to be careful. He taught me that it wasn't real, but a performance and to have fun but also not be disrespectful. The responsibility falls on the parent to judge whether there kid can handle the show, and to make sure they understand what is and isn't happening. Some kids grasp it earlier than others. Some adults never do.

What a lot of people are forgetting is that if a close family member is seriously ill it can really mess with your head and worry along with the stress is beyond nerve wrecking. Mother and son may be over sensitive at present and maybe under different circumstances they wouldn't have taken it to heart.
Everyone seems to have declared it a fact that the women is making a fuss of things to get free stuff. Maybe she's upset over her ill Mother and then seeing her son getting yelled at by one of his heroes.
Also does sticking up for her son really make her such a bad person? There are criminals walking the streets that cause damage to good, honest people so think of that.

There's really no need for this woman to complain on the internet about Owens. Owens was doing his job and did it perfectly, he is the bad guy of the show so why would he high five her son in front of the whole crowd and break character? Now if this was outside WWE and Owens singled out the kid then I can totally understand him being a douche, but it was in WWE show and Owens isn't breaking character just to make some kids day. A lot of heels wouldn't do this especially Chris Jericho who was much worse as he never broke his heel character even outside WWE.

Honeslty he really shouldn't be at a wwe show if he doesn't understand. That would be like going to a baseball game, or any sports show for that matter, and not knowing crap about how it works.

THAT right there is why we don't have great heels anymore. As soon as someone takes that next step, people start crying about it on the internet. Had this women used her brains, she would have known that Owens was doing that so her son would enjoy the whopping Reigns was about to give Owens. He was trying to make their experience better, not worse. To further elaborate on my point here... Owens, almost immediately after losing to Roman (the guy who's shirt the kid had on) walks up the ramp and fall on his face in front of this kid. It's obvious that was done so the kid and his family could get their laughs in. It was so the family went home happy knowing that the hero stood triumphant over the big bad mean guy. Owens was playing the fool for their pleasure. Owens was trying to give them something special. A memory that could have made this kid a life long WWE fan. Problem is, some people get it, and some people don't.

This lady is overreacting obviously. But saying this is because "everyone gets a trophy" is the reason for this is just dumb. Seriously. The previous generation was the one that STARTED GIVING OUT TROPHIES FOR EVERYONE. The current generation didn't.
