I once heard (meaning I haven't the slightest idea of how accurate this is) that there was a Lincoln speech where his political opponents were disrupting it and so he went into the crowd to pick one of them up and then throw him a good 3 meters away.

From what I know, Lincoln was a wrestler so that seems plausible (don't just take my word for it).
