Jade Cargill And Je’Von Evans Address Fan Complications During WrestleMania Week
Las Vegas wasn’t kind to some wrestlers this year, as a ton of fans were looking to meet or take a picture with their favorite superstar by waiting in airports, hotel lobbies, and other places throughout the city.
Chatting with the 520 Podcast for a new interview, Je’Von Evans first spoke about the dynamic and said that it can be difficult and cool at the same time.
“It’s very difficult, but I always remember being younger and not being able to buy WrestleMania tickets or like wrestling tickets in general. I was happy just to see a wrestler walking around, that would have made my day. I always kind of put myself in that situation and anytime I get to chat up with a fan, I usually do unless they doing too much or I’m in a rush or I’m in a bad mood. It is very difficult but it’s very cool too, you’re building a connection with fans.”
Jade Cargill pitched in and described the situation in Las Vegas as “very overwhelming”.
“What they do is people get their kids to [ask] to sign the autographs. The parent is right there, it’s 4:00 in the morning at the airport. Why is your kid here, they have school. What are we doing? But no, I appreciate our fans. If anything, it shows us that what we’re doing is worthwhile because people don’t see the dark side of wrestling as far as the travel. Traveling is so tough, dealing with all of the other things, we have families and all kinds of other stuff. The fact that fans show up and spend their hard earned money and stand in line for hours to just shake our hand and let us see their face, it means the world. But, it was very overwhelming this weekend. They were all in the lobbies and things like that. We have appearances, we have signings and if you want to see us, just come to our meet and greets. But, I’m going to stop when I have time. We’re going to do that, we’re going to make time. But the majority of the time, we’re rushing and we’re going left and right. I think we did the best that we could do with all of the mobs that was going on in the hotel.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Je’Von Evans said that he wants to move away from flips as he evolves into a top player for WWE. Check out his full comments by clicking here.
