Can't blame Rhea at all. They are flying all the time. They are exhausted going from town to town. They just want their space and do what they need to do, getting in and out of airports.

This seems to flare up every so often. Like a generation of dipshits forgets or didn't realize these are people too and ruin it for everyone for a few years. I feel horrible for the wrestlers and crew that too through this and the ones just going to meet their idol that have now had it ruined by eBay clowns.
And if you're one of those f***s or worse, one of the ones that uses kids to get stuff, f*** you. I hope you lose money and get arrested for stalking.

Airports, restaurants, gyms, hotels and family time are a no go for approaching wrestlers.

Man I hate people. And to all the ones with the mentality of “THIS IS WHAT THEY SIGN UP FOR!”….what was John Cena’s submission finisher called again?

This is why I don’t usually get too upset when someone like Conor gets into it with a rando. Imagine being constantly harassed by a good number of people everywhere that you go when you’re just trying to travel, eat, hang out, or whatever.
On top of that it has to be about 100 times worse for a female because you just don’t know what these people may be up to or what is going on in their mind. Just leave them alone, wrestlers do official signings all of the time go to that and stand in line for the picture.

Cop all this harassment both off and online, and you just have to grin and bear it because you wanted to be a wrestler!” How about we just try and not do any of that? |

“And then at five in the morning at the airport, you try to shove it in my face so you can get an autograph and try to sell it on eBay because you’re too lazy to go get a real job!”

The fact that the airport is so empty makes this one hurt so much more cause you know she was hyped about that until this f***ing dude materialized |

Most of this isn't genuine fans. It's autograph hunters. I've been to a couple of movie premieres and seen them hanging around with their posters and Funko Pop boxes neatly taped to boards to get the best signatures while talking about which signatures they already managed to get at the airport and hotel.
I think it's part of the reason why private signing sessions are becoming such big business - celebrities would rather offer their signatures in a controlled environment where people can't flip them for enormous profits. I don't blame them either.

Before I start this, let me say I know it’s not cool to bug people just trying to get through their day…BUT
He’s spoken about it a lot and Penn Jillette always, always takes time for his fans because he realized “This is what I wanted. I wanted people to know me” His children, if he’s with them, take your picture with him. Jay Leno has a similar attitude.
Which is “Can I get a picture?” “Yup” click. Is a 15 second interaction but “Hey man, it’s my dinner I’m eating with the kids, you’re rude blah blah blah blah blah blah” has now taken up 5 minutes.

There's a time and place for pictures. Hounding someone at an airport for an autograph is shitty regardless of how innocent you think it is. It's not hard to show simple courtesy to people.

When I was a kid, I once waited outside a restaurant with a bunch of other people to get pictures and autographs of wrestlers. I'm glad I haven't done that since.
I have so much respect for people like Becky, who always seems to enjoy interacting with fans, but it shouldn't be expected from everyone.

I'm convinced that the best interaction one could have with a celebrity is a nod and a smile and nothing more.

This is blatant scalpers shoving things in these peoples faces to sign while they’re literally *commuting to their jobs.* I get your point, but it’s apples and oranges. |
