WWE RAW Superstar Sasha Banks Reveals When It's Not Okay For Fans To Approach Her For An Autograph
During a new interview, former RAW Women's Champ Sasha Banks explained that while she understands how passionate fans can get, in certain situation she is not okay with being badgered for an autograph...
If you happen to see Sasha Banks strolling through an airport in the wee hours of the morning, might best best not to run ob over with a ton of stuff for her to sign.
While appearing on Sam Roberts' podcast, the former WWE RAW Women's Champion explained that while she's happy to meet and greet fans in most situations, there are a few that she feels are crossing the line:
“I grew up a wrestling fan, so I knew that I wanted to meet all my favorite wrestlers. But always in the back of my head I never thought in my life to be like, ‘Hey, they’re gonna fly in. Maybe I should wait at the airport for like 12 hours at a gate. Hey! They don’t want any sleep. Maybe I’ll go find their hotel they’re staying at and let me bother them.’ Like to me, that’s stalking.
I don’t tweet out what hotel I’m at. I don’t tweet out what airline I’m flying. I do tweet you what arena I’ll be performing at, so I do expect fans at the arena, and I’m so happy to sign at the arena, that’s fine because I’m telling you where I’m going to be at. If I see you in public, that’s fine. But when I’m at an airport at 4 in the morning and I see somebody with a carry-on and they open it with a hundred items of everyone and they’re bothering everybody to get an autograph, and I see it on eBay - that’s not okay to me.”
This is an attitude that is most definitely shared by other wrestlers... but not by all. Some believe it's part and parcel of being in the limelight, and are happy to sign for fans in pretty much any situation.
For example, former WWE and TNA star Bully Ray sent out the following Tweet in response to Banks:
Where do you guys stand? Be sure to share your thoughts in the usual place.
