Roxanne Perez: There Needs To Be A Little Bit Of A Line Between Fans And Wrestlers

Roxanne Perez wants fans to respect boundaries.

Today’s wrestling landscape is full of incidents that see “fans” cross the line when trying to meet their favorite wrestlers. Instead of taking part in a meet and greet session, some of these individuals will wait for hours at the airport or a hotel to meet performers.

Speaking with Fox News/Outkick, Roxanne Perez said fans have to be careful with where and when they choose to meet wrestlers.

“First off, I love my fans so much. I love all of the fans. We wouldn’t be able to do what we do without the fans. And I think being a fan myself, growing up as a fan, I can see it in a different light. I think these fans, they love what we do, they respect us so much. They admire us. It is a big deal when they get to meet us and they get their picture signed. But it’s also, like, we just gotta be careful on where we do it and when we do it. We obviously have the arenas. The arenas are where we show up. There’s an exact location where you go and meet and meet the WWE superstars. That’s always what I did when I was a kid. But also, when we are on the road, our hotels are our home. When we’re running late for a plane and trying to catch our flight, and it does break my heart to tell people no, but at the same time, we do have to respect everybody’s privacy.”

Continuing on, Perez said that there needs to be a little bit of a line between fans and performers.

“We are just humans. We are WWE superstars but we are just humans. We’re trying to live our life while also trying to make the fans happy. But there’s gotta be some line. That doesn’t mean we don’t appreciate our fans at all. I just think there needs to be a little bit of a line. But we do love you guys, OK?”
