AN AMERICAN pro-wrestler has slammed a Scots fan after he was racially abused at an Edinburgh show last night.

Jonathan Gresham was performing for US company Ring of Honor at the Edinburgh Corn Exchange when he was subjected to the abuse during the Honor Re-United show.

The grappler took to his social media to blast the "sad human", insisting the bigot is "one of the many things wrong with the world".

Posting on Twitter, Gresham fumed: "Fans from tonight's event in [Edinburgh] that think their not so clever racism is funny, you're a sad human.

"And you're one of the many things wrong with this world. You know who you are(guy in pantera shirt), fix yourself!"

Fans from tonight's event in Glasgow that think their not so clever racism is funny, you're a sad human. And you're one of the many things wrong with this world. You know who you are(guy in pantera shirt), fix yourself! — The Foundation (@TheJonGresham) August 16, 2018

Hundreds of fans backed the wrestler's stance and came forward with apologies on behalf of other Scottish fans.

One explained: "I cant believe I have to do this but as a Scottish native I am so sorry you had to experience this while performing.

"You were absolutely amazing but I heard the stuff they were saying & shouted at them to stop since they were nearby.

"They were drunk & ruined the rest of the night".

One commented: "I was at the show tonight and didn't hear what was said but sorry you had to experience that.

"Really enjoyed your match and hopefully you will come back to Scotland in the future and have a better experience."

Another replied: "I'm so sorry you had to experience that.

"I hope the promotion finds out who this was and bans them."

A fourth wrote: "This is never right, never acceptable and disgusting behaviour. It’s 2018. We love you Gresham".

Other wrestlers backed their pal and condemned the sickening abuse received by Gresham.

UK star Chris Ridgeway wrote: "this is awful to hear mate, real sorry that you had to put up with that inexcusable crap".
