WWE fans are very passionate about pro wrestling, but there is a line that everyone must draw in the sand. Rey Mysterio’s recent situation at an airport pointed a new spotlight on fans invading Superstars’ privacy, and The Undertaker has his own policy about that.
Rhea Ripley recently lashed out against rude fans asking for autographs. Braun Strowman seemed to agree with The Nightmare as well.
The Bet Las Vegas podcast recently spoke to The Undertaker. He opened up a bit about how he handles fans who see him in public. After all, he’s a hard man to hide. That being said, he won’t sign autographs if he’s in “dad mode.”
“My kids play sports and it becomes a thing every weekend. People will come up and [say,] ‘Hey can I have [an autograph or a picture]?’ I appreciate you being a fan, but I’m not Undertaker [right now]. I’m dad this weekend and hopefully you understand that.”
“I’d say 95% of the people really do understand. Occasionally, you get somebody that is just so entitled that they feel like you’re a dick. If you don’t understand, then I guess I am.”
Fans might be very excited to see The Undertaker in public, but they probably need to calm down. Taker won’t take time away from his family to sign an autograph or snap a selfie. So, those fans need to be patient and respectful above anything else.
The Undertaker and Michelle McCool have a life together outside WWE. They also have a daughter, and the two WWE legends don’t want her exposed to constant harassment either. Only time will tell if The Undertaker’s daughter ends up in WWE, but she certainly has first-hand experience of how to deal with persistent autograph hounds.
What’s your take on asking WWE Superstars for an autograph in public? Should fans leave them alone? Sound off in the comments!
