WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins is tired of ‘fans’ scalping for autographs to sell online but believes they shouldn’t ruin the reputation of genuine fans.
The topic of ‘fans’ hunting for autographs to sell online has been a hot topic this year, especially after a video of Rey Mysterio refusing to sign went viral.
On a recent edition of the “Sports Illustrated Media” podcast, Rollins recalled when he was at Disneyland with his daughter and being approached. He added,
“We get a lot of pseudo-collectors at the airports that are a little funky and a little aggressive sometimes. Again, because we have our daughter people tend to stay away a little bit more but yeah, they’re a bit aggressive.
“Sometimes they’ll use their kids, they’ll send their kids up with a figure to sign it. And you’ll be like, ‘Oh, what’s your name? Let me sign it to you.’ They’re like, you can see them like, ‘Oh, no, oh no.’ So that’s not nice. That’s not a nice thing but I do find that that’s not the rule, it’s more the exception. So there’s still faith in humanity to be had man, don’t lose all hope just yet.”
Following the Rey Mysterio situation, it was reported that some WWE Superstars were making rules as to what they would sign for fans who approach them.
