Budding wrestlers enter the world of pro wrestling with two goals in mind. One would be to make it to the big leagues like WWE or AEW. And the other would be to have lots of fans. To be honest, wrestling fans share an intrinsic love for wrestlers. But some names rise above the others and they would go to any extent to either get an autograph or a picture with them.
Wrestlers occasionally have a hard time satisfying these kinds of die-hard-hungry fans. And AEW World Champion MJF took the opportunity to describe the worst kind of fans he has ever come across.

Fame comes with its own pros and cons. Once you are famous, you just can’t go out in public without getting thronged by fans or being followed by the paparazzi.
While some superstars love this attention as that’s the precise reason they chose this line of work. There are others who prefer to keep it low and just carry on with their normal life in spite of being a star.
That’s exactly the case with AEW World Champion MJF, who likes fans but dislikes the ones that hide and wait at the airports to ask for autographs and pictures. On his appearance on the YouTube show Hot Ones just a few days ago, he talked about the same. He said, “So the ones that wait at the airport for your autograph for your photo, and I know damn well half of you chubby, worthless pores aren’t even going to go to the show cuz A) you can’t afford it and B) you are scum. So what they do is they just hide out and they think they are slick, they be like ‘oh MJF, can i have your and real quick can you sign all 70 of these cards?’ and I’m like no, absolutely not”.

He also went on to add that he absolutely hates those kinds of fans who say they understand how hard being a wrestler actually is. So the next time you spot MJF at the airport, just smile at him.
But in addition to MJF, even WWE legend John Cena has endured his share of disrespectful fans.

John Cena is one of the biggest and the most famous WWE superstars right now. He loves his fans so much that he holds the Guinness World record for granting 650 Make-A-Wish wishes. It would be really surprising if he could just walk down a street without anyone recognizing him.
But that’s definitely not the case as fans always throng Cena. On one such occasion, when Cena was out with friends, a disrespectful fan asked Cena to say his iconic catchphrase “You Can’t See Me” for his TikTok.
