Pretty sure it counts legally, actually. That might vary by jurisdiction, but it's part of why "assault" and "battery" are technically separate charges. Not in Texas Maybe it can fall under the last definition of offensive contact, but I'm not sure I'm sure it's more of a case by case basis on what happened and you'd need to talk to a lawyer about it. You can find law firms based in Texas that say it's assault and similar to someone spitting on you. sourcesource

It's the "Wrestler Spits on Kid" vid except with more social media over how bribery made it okay and a parent who didn't try to beat the piss out of MJF.
Which a little later wouldn't have been all that hard.

Because the provocative part would imply MJF expected the Kid to attack back and lead to a scuffle. Maybe it can fall under some sort of child abuse but again, not a lawyer so just making wild guesses. I would bet even in an actual case it wouldnt be cut and dry.

All I’d heard was MJF watered a plant. And I thought that was a really novel way to turn him face. But, alas, it was a shoot. What a heel.

MJF clearly noticed the kid was dying of thirst and wanted to give them a drink. It's not MJF's fault the kid never opened his mouth to drink the water.

You're comparing a wrestler spitting on a child to a wrestler lightly throwing water at a child That's... that's just not the same lol

grand scheme of things not a HUGE deal but would not be shocked if MJF is flat out told not to do that again. He 1000% should be told "Hey f***ing don't". There's a reason they used to usep lants for spots like this and honestly I'd prefer if people didn't randomly win the Heel Lottery because you never know how down for any of this someone actually is.

That's something to get in trouble over. You throw a beer or water on someone, particularly someone's kid, they're well within their rights to get big mad.
That ain't a license to deck 'em, but don't dance around and say "lightly". It was done with intent.

Just sounds like yet another case of MJF genuinely being a total prick but it being excused because living in his character or something.

At least he didn't throw a kid into water, I guess.

Water, spit, food. Whatever. You don't throw that shit on someone's kid. That could've gone very differently with a different parent.

See I agree with this part, but I guarantee if it was spit it would have absolutely ended differently than it did, that's just way more grotesque and way more out of line This isn't me saying what he did wasn't out of line, but that would have literally been vile

I do feel like we've reached a point of "alright, we get it", and that Tony should pull him aside and get him to dial it back a bit.
They're trying so hard to keep MJF a heel that it's sometimes ridiculous.
I do kind of wonder if Page is going to be the next plan for MJF. The two have history, anyway, in the company, so it's a pretty easy program, though if they'd want Page to beat him, it probably doesn't happen next.

I think of it this way. Say you're sitting in a restaurant and someone throws your drink on you, that's out of line. Unless the kid was a plant and is going out for pizza with everyone after the show then it's still over the line. The act is the issue here less so the substance

Hell, AEW used a plant not long with Saraya and Toni attacking that fan. MJF's great, but hopefully somebody has talked to him about not crossing lines. Trash talking a fan when you're a heel, okay. Throwing something in a fan's face is not okay.
