Booth wasn't really just some random guy; he was a well known actor. So it would have been like seeing the president wrestling and tossing Jason Statham off the balcony.

I prefer the image of throwing Elijah Woods or Jesse Eisenberg, just president picking up this skinny nerdy dude and yeeting them.

You’re just making it sound even cooler.

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).

Lincoln was a pretty good wrestler when he was younger. Booth would have had his hands full if Lincoln had grabbed him.
