Heres a video I found of Seth getting hounded at an airport. He signs and poses but you can clearly a guy with a large folder forcing him to sign multiple photos. There is an exhausted guy getting off a plane and some scalper shoves a folder of photos in his face. I'm honestly surprised that Seth didn't tell him to get lost. Terrible manners to keep Seth waiting as he gets down on the floor and sorts his junk out. And the temerity to switch pen colour too. I think I'd be a lot cooler about signing stuff if people just had some respect and only had one item. Do you really need 5 photos signed in 3 different pen colours? So many people lack basic manners and etiquette it's unreal. Astounds me as there's no need for it

The guys in the video also asks him to write Mr MITB too. Lol. I'm pretty sure I saw this clip on seths WWE24 special. I wonder if Seth was this well composed because there was a camera on him? I'd be irritated. Again there's a difference between a fan wanting an autograph or a pic and a loser who will throw all these up on eBay.

No, the clip on 24 was from mania 32 weekend, he still had the MITB in this one so they aren't from the same time, they're actually atleast a year apart.

I had asked him to do Redesign, Rebuild, Reclaim...but he said it was a bit too long and offered The Architect. It turned out really nice.

I love how he carries it through the airport with him. Still seems calm despite the guy getting all those autographs!

Taking bets on the amount of warning bars from this thread Sadly, there will be plenty. Which is a shame, as nobody (that I read) has resorted to name calling, or anything of that nature. Just the topic at hand. Which is our opinions of approaching wrestlers for autographs and photos. I'd say the most heated that it's gotten is the debate of what's considered stalking... which I didn't read, so I can't say how heated that even got.

No, I am not wrong at all. You may only be right if you're limiting it purely to the American definition. But the American definition is most certainly not the definitive definition. Like I said before, different countries have different definitions, and the use of a threat IS the differentiating factor. Some countries may require it to be classed as stalking, whereas other countries do not. Simply repeatedly following or monitoring someone to the point of them feeling threatened is enough to be classed as stalking in some countries. It's not the actual threat that makes it stalking, it's the victim FEELING threatened. If they're given cause to feel threatened, then it absolutely is legally stalking. In fact, researching the US definition, the National Institute of Justice actually states that stalking is legally defined as: "a course of conduct directed at a specific person that involves repeated (two or more occasions) visual or physical proximity, nonconsensual communication, or verbal, written, or implied threats, or a combination thereof, that would cause a reasonable person fear. "As a non-American, I don't know exactly how much weight that carries in US law, but assuming that is the American definition, the use of a threat is not actually required for it to be stalking. Again, it's the person FEELING threatened, as a result of actions stated in the above quote. Notice how the use of a threat is an "OR" option, not a requirement. For example, in the UK, simply loitering in any place while watching or spying on another person, or monitoring them on the internet is legally classed as stalking. As I am British, that is the definition that I use. You use your US definition, and I'll use my UK definition. I'm done with this discussion. Really?! You are arguing it based on how other countries view it? I think its safe to say that I was clearly speaking of the United States. Eh, I've met Rollins multiple times between ROH and FCW and he's always been awesome. I actually bumped into him at a Bears game in Jacksonville and we talked about me meeting him the night he won the tag titles with Richie Steamboat in FCW because we ended up chatting for like 20 minutes that day about football and baseball. So I have to think something happened here where someone was disrespectful towards him or it was an eBayer with just a bunch of sh*t and he lashed out on Twitter. I think this stuff is going to happen. It's not my bag to go wait at baggage claim and I've never done it but it's an easy thing to figure out for fans in most places when WWE comes to town. So I just think respect should flow both ways in those situations. This might include "sorry, not today, bud." Like that's going to happen. I'd love to think that every fan who bumped into someone they enjoyed would get an autograph or picture, but it doesn't work out that way. Sometimes fans don't know how to act, and sometimes celebrities are just dicks and not built for that side of the fame. I think you guys make way too big of a deal out of what CM does. He's met all kinds of people and from all accounts he's respectful as hell about it. He also does the leg work of figuring out certain stuff to go to where people are going to be. I don't mean that in a creepy way but I know there was a whole deal with Austin at a beer show and I remember one of his Rock meets was at a movie shoot where there were tons of fans crowded around and not just him. I get that there are limits to all of this stuff, but I feel like most of you don't even know what you're talking about. I spent 3 years working in pro hockey directly with the players and I've been around MLB Spring Training for going on a decade now and 9 out of 10 graphers are just nice super fans who like collecting autographs or meeting their favorite athletes. The other guy is usually the eBay guy. I appreciate you chiming in and also taking notice that I am respectful as hell. No one is required to pose or sign at APs or hotels. If they are willing, awesome. And if they arent, sucks for me...but thanks anyway. And I always make sure to say that. Thank you anyway. I attribute a lot of the success I have had between celebs and wrestlers and athletes to that very fact. The poor guy can barely walk to his car and people have the nerve to hound him for a picture/autograph? I'd love to see how horrible that photo came out. Burt looked miserable. The photo came out pretty damn decent. Burt smiled. But nice try. I was the only one who asked for a photo. He signed for people after he got inside the car. He rolled his window down and signed a few. Jesus Christ. What is wrong with you? Google is your friend. I do find it ironic that him taking the selfie with Burt (It's obvious he didn't ask for permission, and entered his personal space without permission to take a picture of him) is no different than ARE YOU RECORDING THIS. A situation when the same person got threatening because someone took recorded this. Hypocrite. Excuse me. You might want to check the video again. You can CLEARLY hear me ask for a selfie and then I thanked him right after. Before offering an opinion, you should actually fact check. You clearly do not know the history of are you recording this nor did you watch this video. Just a pathetic attempt on your part to paint me in a negative light. cant forget he beat up a kid and his dad for a shirt that edge told him the day before that he was going to directly throw it to him in the crowd. Yeah man. That was awesome. Let that be a lesson to every single father/son combo at a wrestling event. Thats what happens when you get in my way. BUT HE NEEDS THOSE 47 AUTOS this one is just for fun And I PAID for every single one of those autographs. I bet the promoter was VERY happy I came. I am sure Sasha was very happy as well. He started getting several east coast bookings after this show. Look, I hate the hotel, airport thing. But i'm gonna defend showstopper on one thing. on the are you recording this video. The man behind that video is a severely mentally ill human being. A whole lot of crap went down and showstopper was threatened as was his friend. His friend had white powder mailed to him at his job by the person who recorded this. And he did multiple other just awful things. Are you recording this should be irrelevent to the conversations because we would have all thrown the same fit, had we known the backstory. QFT. I don't think I've ever agreed with something so much in my life. Thats because you are ignorant and clearly have no idea what stalking is. Google is your friend.
I wasn't even talking to you! There's clearly a bit of a problem here if you feel the need to defend yourself to somebody who has never spoken to you in their life.

He was literally agreeing with something someone else said and said nothing to you, yet you chose to single him out and call him ignorant. That is very uncalled for, especially since I know Coniku Manly and he's not at all ignorant.

Imagine being so insecure about stalking wrestlers that you have to quote everyone in the thread and call people you've never met ignorant.
Never change, WF.

We as wrestling fans are already a very stigmatized group.
Don't try to make it worse by justifying stalking.

That is very uncalled for, especially since I know Coniku Manly and he's not at all ignorant. I apologize. I thought it was directed at me. Since he did not quote anyone, nor referenced anything...seemed like it was directed at me. I didnt single him out though. I try to respond to everyone that directs a comment or question to me. Imagine being so insecure about stalking wrestlers that you have to quote everyone in the thread and call people you've never met ignorant. Never change, WF. I wouldn't say insecure. I'd say it's more confident and proud of it. Nailed it. We as wrestling fans are already a very stigmatized group. Don't try to make it worse by justifying stalking. You clearly do not know what stalking is.
