AEW’s Nyla Rose is the latest wrestler to deal with a group of individuals who wait in airports and similar locations to get autographs.
This has been an issue in the past, something that went viral earlier this year when Rey Mysterio was asked to sign multiple items. These people will sell the autographed items on eBay as a way to gain profits.
Rose took to Twitter to call out these same people, writing:
“From now on if you are a group of a**holes lurking at the airport at 5:30 in the morning waiting on autographs. I ain’t signing sh*t unless you have a coffee for me and you hit the Nana and let me record it… it’s only fair. Not even creep behavior. Just selfish a**hole behavior… the people that do this resell… they want, dare I say demanding your product (your signature) for them to re-sell and pocket all The money off someone else’s likeness. Then it creates a Weird situation for actual fans because now they’re scared to approach in a totally innocent and organic chance encounter. I can’t speak for anyone else but if it’s a genuine chance encounter and you see me out somewhere, by all means come say hi. I’m happy to sign the thing or take the picture… forever blessed and grateful to do so.”
