I mean good on Alexa and Braun for being nice but once again as usual with these things, wrestlers have no obligation to take a pic with you just because. If they say no, respect that and move on. You aren't the 1st to ask them for a pic that day and some people got and some people didn't that's just the luck of the draw Wasn't there a story like 2 years ago of a kid and his dad or some shit like that trying take a pic with Orton in the bathroom
Yeah the bathroom pic was hilarious because Orton was in the middle of washing his hands. With this situation I think it's hilarious given Roman said "I'm not an animal in a cage" given he's Roman Reigns. Even though wrestlers aren't obligated to take pics and what they did is fine, it's always interesting in the ones you never hear a negative story about whether if they're in their right to take pics or not.
A bigger thing about this to me though are wrestling fans in general. I read down that thread and man, even though I'm a wrestling fan I dislike most wrestling fans. Some of those comments had that type of specific stan attitude. It's like walking to Gamestop and hearing people talk videogames. Nah bruh, I don't wanna hear about that shit. Lemme do me and you go on talking about that special armor you got the other day.
Someone here once said that no one hates wrestling fans more than other wrestling fans, and I think that's some of the truest shit I've ever read. lol

Speaking of which, apparently Reigns and Rollins told a dad and a group of kids that they weren't taking pic with them allegedly the other day. Supposedly Roman said "I'm not an animal in a cage" or something. Rollins told the kids he wasn't taking a pic. Also on another note apparently Alexa and Braun were crazy nice. Rollins looks extremely passionate about telling these kids to leave lmao looks straight out of an Adam Sandler film where the adult is the asshole to literally everyone.

Hacksaw Jim Duggan has been by far the nicest wrestler I have ever met (multiple times).

Like, I'm more liable to talk to someone who's a fan of wrestling while I'm clocked in at work than out anywhere else lol.

Remember, Adam Sandler was the good guy in every film regardless what he did lol. Remember in Big Daddy when that dude didn't give Julian Halloween candy because he was busy on the phone and Adam kept annoying him so he flipped him off? Then dude went through the backroom and forced him to give his Life cereal, cds and Rolex to Julian? As a kid I didn't see anything wrong about that lol. Now though I'm like "eh...I mean he didn't have to give him anything."

Ron Simmons was awesome when I met him. I even made a thread about it. Dude wouldn’t stop shaking my hand. Think he extended his hand to shake mine like 6 times in a 4 minute interaction.

Hillbilly Jim seems like such a wholesome man, even if he’s still giving his Hall of Fame speech.

I used to get autographs at the hotels they were staying at when I was younger. Sounds a bit weird I know but there were lots of fans there and I guess it was kind of a regular thing when they arrived in the UK at that time.
I can safely say I’ve met close to a hundred wrestlers and I haven’t got a bad word to say about any of them. I’ve always been polite and respectful. If they look busy, don’t be that guy. The last time I've done this was back in 2012... so I haven’t met half of the roster now lol.
Some of my favourites were Matt Striker, honestly the guy sat beside us in the lobby and it was like he was one of us. He was looking through my programme and seeing who I met and all that stuff. Nothing but good things to say about the guy.
Ricky Steamboat was a gent. Shook my hand, this was during his mini comeback run.
Met CM Punk on three occasions and he was extremely cool. He made me a fan for life.
Victoria was awesome. I remember taking a picture together in a bar and she gave me this big random hug in it haha.
William Regal came up to me and asked me for a mint once. Had an interesting conversation with him. Gentleman.
Sheamus, Daniel Bryan, Kofi, Jericho, Natalya, Ziggler and Evan Bourne we’re all super cool guys. All of them took time to chat with fans.
HHH, Orton, Batista and Cena were all professional but very cool about taking a picture with me.
I was only about 13-15 when I was doing this. My general attitude was to approach with respect and if they don’t want to take a picture or sign anything then that’s cool too. They don’t owe me anything and they’re not neccessarily bad people if they’re not in the mood to talk to random strangers on that particular day. Keep in mind wrestling to them must be the most draining thing ever so you can’t blame them for lapping up the free time they do get. I mean... imagine that schedule.

There aren't a lot of "name" wrestlers I haven't met, and the nicest have been Bob Backlund, Ivan Koloff, Ricky Steamboat, Jim Cornette, Paul Bearer, One Man Gang, Piper, Tito Santana, Sgt. Slaughter, and Mick Foley.
The biggest jerk by FAR is Scott Steiner.
Honky Tonk Man is a hoot and I'm convinced a lot of his bitterness is a work to sell shoot interviews.

Far as the current roster goes, I'm on friendly terms with Bryce Remsburg and Rory Gulak and they've both said that Drew is one of the most well liked talents on the roster.

Lot probably depends on the type of fans you have. Cena has a lot of kid fans that could be tiring or fun depending on your mood, Punk had a few obsessive stalker types that soured him, the female wrestlers have to be careful for creeps/perverts ect. Ex indie guys get smarky fans may talk too much and take up too much time and so on.

I don’t recall hearing a cross word about Luke Gallows and he seems like a genuinely pleasant person to be around.

Sounds a bit weird I know but there were lots of fans there and I guess it was kind of a regular thing when they arrived in the UK at that time. I met some wrestlers this way once when I was 10 and feel bad about it now, even though I was just a kid. As much as I adore Becky and I know she's really nice, I don't know if I'd have the nerve to just go up to her in a gas station or whatever late at night and ask for a pic. Then again, I'm also just a shy person by nature.

I spent time around the Chikara roster a few years back and found many of them to be awful people. Gulak was a shining light in that company, always professional and respectful to everyone. Even when he had a botchy opponent, he would always blame himself for not having a good match instead of badmouthing a young wrestler. The guy is a teacher and gentleman.

The Great Khali is a regular at my gym. I've seen people approach him and ask for an autograph or a photo while he's working out at least a dozen times. In that situation, he would be completely justified to be a dick. He would also be justified to be polite but tell them to come back when he's finished exercising, but every time it happens, he stops what he's doing, smiles, shakes their hand, and signs or poses for them.

Bryce is a great dude, Rory is cool(and a great bartender if you live in the area), and I've spent time around The Portal, Frightmare, and a few other guys. Orange Cassidy was really awesome when he sat next to me at a wrestling quizzo night(I was a team of one, he said he was gonna ask if I wanted help till he realized "holy shit this guy knows his stuff") never had a bad interaction with any of those guys, so I hope you're not talking about them lol. But yeah according to Bryce and Rory, Drew is pulling a Triple H and sitting in on every single production/creative thing he can, just to learn the company better. And apparently everyone there loves the dude.

Kevin Owens was always super nice to my family and I when we'd see him at Beyond Wrestling shows. A few months back, my son was having a lot of issues with bullying at school. KO actually took the time to send me a DM on Twitter basically telling my son to keep his head up and not let the bullies get to him. It was absolutely incredible and is something that I will never forget.

Kane, Titus and New Day all seem like great guys.
Sheamus I've heard is really good to fans. In fact when I was in my teens I wrote to FCW to get his autograph, he moved to the main roster so I didn't think I'd get anything but a year later I got a bunch of signed photos from him. So even though he's riled some other wrestlers, he's a cool guy in my book.

He has been active in the last 20 years and I'm surprised that Mick Foley hasn't been mentioned more. I've never met him but I've always heard that he's an extremely nice guy.
