We have often seen pro wrestlers carrying their gimmicks outside the ring too, and MJF is notorious for that. He generates nuclear heat with his gimmicks outside the ring. Arguably the biggest heel in the history of pro wrestling, Stone Cold carried his persona outside the ring.
In the modern era heels such as the MIZ and Kevin Owens have done it on many occasions. To some extent this does give a sense of credibility to the gimmick a wrestler is playing. However, often things go crosses a threshold of tolerance, and MJF certainly takes his gimmicks to whole another level.
Not so long ago, a video of MJF scolding an young fan for taking pictures of him without his permission generated some buzz among the fans. Now we have another situation in which he was seen insulting a kid in a wheelchair.

That’s right. Nobody is safe from The Salt of the Earth. He said to the kid:
“Clearly I?m doing better than you, look what I can do”, and then he stood up.

That kind of behaviour is harsh even for a heel from pro wrestling. However, earlier MJF came up with a good explanation for that too. He explained:
“Don’t make eye contact with me and we won’t have a problem”

This was not the first time MJF has done something rude to the fans or media that got some heat and for sure it’s not the last time either.”
In a recent video posted to his Twitter account, Maxwell Jacob Friedman demolished a sand sculpture of a dolphin that someone made on the beach. The Tweet said that he hopes someone learned to protect their valuables. It is not clear if anyone was around when Friedman stomped on the sand dolphin or if the other people had already left. There is always the chance that this was staged.
