The issue of fans showing up at airports to meet WWE Superstars has become a recurring problem for several stars. Although chance encounters are usually welcomed, a particular group of people now deliberately plan to be at the airport with a plethora of WWE merchandise, hoping to get the stars to sign them. These items are then later sold on eBay for a profit, causing frustration for the wrestlers.
Recently, a video of an unmasked Rey Mysterio found its way to social media. In the clip, Rey is seen rejecting a fan’s request for autograph at an airport. Of course, this fan was obviously trying to sell Mysterio’s autograph for a profit. Zelina Vega took to Twitter and made it clear that she was absolutely furious after a fan was very disrespectful to her while she was at the airport during her layover.
Wrestlers are not obliged to entertain fan requests, and it entirely depends on the wrestler in question whether they want to sign anything.
