I don't even know how you're drawing this comparison. Wrestling encourages that type of reaction from fans, be it insulting the hometown, making fun of the face, or just being an asshole or whatever. I don't recall many bands going out of their way to be assholes for the sake of being assholes. If people don't like their music that doesn't give them the right to physically harm them and throw shit at them. It really disgusts me when I hear shit like this and that Nickelback show where people throw rocks and stuff at them. What's the point? If you're that desperate for attention that you need to try and throw a rock or a chair at an artist to get a reaction from them, then maybe you should ask yourself why you're even at the concert to begin with.

Pro wrestlers are looking for heel reactions. You know, boos and cheers? Not to get belted in the head with beer cans. Still part of the game though. HHow you could have ever been a wrestling fan and say wrestling encourages that type of reaction makes me ask you do YOU know what the fuck you are talking about? I have been to over 50 pro wrestling shows and never felt the urge to throw shit in the ring. I've been to over 50 live music shows and only thrown shit once (not that there is an excuse for it but the band in question DID encourage that "heel" reaction you say bands don't do).
If you don't recall many bands going out of there way to be arseholes then you probably haven't been to a show with more than 3 bands playing. There is always one that people just shit on.
As for Nickleback, do you think they get shit thrown at them at their own shows? Hell no. People pay for festival tickets to see certain bands and unfortunately, there are always bands there you won't like and those bands are going to get abused no matter if it's right or wrong.
Do you think Britney Spears would get a nice reaction if she played Ozzfest?
