Booker T Calls For Better Security After Fan Incidents At WrestleMania 42
Booker T is calling for better security.
Many stories have come out regarding fans being a little too close for comfort to the superstars at WrestleMania 42, with video of some incidents surfacing as well. Fans have made it a habit over the years to mob wrestlers at the hotel or airport, and though they’ve been called out by various superstars, the incidents aren’t going away.
On his Hall of Fame podcast, Booker T addressed how some fans acted in Las Vegas.
“I want to put a fan address out here. The fans were off the chain in Las Vegas. I love my fans, I really do, but I’m going to tell you right now: you guys really need to understand what the guys go through sometimes and give them that space. After the show, you see them working like crazy, and then they come in and you disrespect them when they’re with their kids, wives, and families. Then, something happens, one of the guys gets upset, and you hear about it on social media. We’re human. After a show like that. The show is over. Give the guys a little bit of a break and space. It’s taxing, it truly is.
“Walking through MGM Grand, we need some better security. It was really hard. I can only imagine what the superstars, how they felt, because I got mobbed and I’m not even doing this anymore. Hopefully, we can get that fixed. I wish we would’ve had better security. It was really bad, the worst I’ve ever seen.”
Video came out of CM Punk smacking the phone out of a fan’s hand after WrestleMania 42 when the fan got too close to his wife, AJ Lee, and Bayley.
