” We fly around a lot, and we take a trip a lot. Now, I’m doing both brand names, so I’m at the airport quite much every single day. I run into fans every single day and there’s a lot of them. And when it pertains to finalizing, a few of them have stacks of the very same images, of the exact same action figures, of the very same pop vinyls, of the exact same cards– and they desire you to sign every among them. And if you state, ‘Hey, I’m simply going to sign one, I’ve got locations to be’– due to the fact that the majority of the time we do, we’re running late. I was running late to work today due to the fact that I landed so late and I’ve got to be here at a specific time, and in some cases we simply can’t sign all of it.”

I had a fan follow me outside the airport today since I stated no to them since I didn’t have the time and it was all of the very same things, they desired signed. It was one fan particularly, he’s well-known, he’s constantly at the airport getting our signatures and offering them on eBay– we understand his face, we understand who he is. He was the primary provocateur, he followed me out and others followed him too and they all followed me as I’m searching for my Uber. I’m attempting to inform them no and they’re all being consistent, and I ended up getting lost, I had no concept where my Uber was, and I ended up down the stairs away from everybody else and I’m simply surrounded by these 5 men and they’re simply hassling me. I do not believe individuals comprehend how threatening that is. Since you do not understand what’s going to take place, specifically. I do not understand these individuals.”

We enjoy our fans, we like our assistance, and we like whatever about the WWE Universe. If you desire an image, I’m down to take an image, and I understand everybody else is, too. If you have a picture of you and us together, I’m going to sign it since that’s an individual thing and I understand you’re going to keep that and treasure that, and you’re a real fan, you’re not simply attempting to make fast cash off us while we’re at the airport. Particularly at an airport, in most cases, we’re sleep denied, we’re in a rush, we have not consumed, and after that there’s individuals leaping down our throats anticipating something from you. It’s simply a lot. Simply treat us with regard like we’re typical people rather of items. I discover that a great deal of the time when you go to the airport, individuals that are waiting there, awaiting autographs and signatures, a lot them– not all of them, there is some great ones in the batch that in fact wish to fulfill their preferred Superstars which’s all great and excellent, however it’s the ones that are attempting to generate income off our signatures and simply treat us like we’re an item for everybody’s usage.”
