Drew McIntyre shared a list of dos and don’ts for fans during WrestleMania 41 week.
The former WWE World Heavyweight Champion highlighted the importance of being respectful to wrestlers and their time, encouraged fans to wear deodorant, and support local independent wrestling.
McIntyre further advised fans against bringing merchandise to the airport, told them to stay away from the wrestlers’ hotel, and not to interrupt wrestlers during personal conversations.
He concluded that fans should refrain from calling wrestlers by their real names.
McIntyre said, “It’s WrestleMania week, the most exciting time of the year and pro wrestling is on fire. We’re in the golden age beyond golden age and the whole industry is descending on Vegas, the whole world is descending on Vegas. The eyes of the world are on WWE. I’m worried about you guys. I’m concerned you’re gonna f*ck it up. So I’ve taken it upon myself to put together some do’s and dont’s, a little PSA so you can have the best time at WrestleMania so if you have a bad interaction or experience or you f*ck things up, then it is totally on you for not listening to Drew McIntyre. Let’s start with the dos. Be respectful to any wrestlers and each other. But, you know, mostly us, it’s our busiest work week of the year. If you see us in a hurry, don’t get in our way, we’re probably trying to get to an appearance so you can actually see us at the appearance or maybe we have an hour and we’re trying to get it the gym or something crazy like seeing our family and friends that we never ever ever ever see, especially from another country like myself.”
He continued, “Support local indie wrestling. I used to love doing the independent shows around WrestleMania, especially when I was the Evolve champion, I nicknamed WrestleMania week wrestling week because there’s so much going on. The atmosphere is incredible, support independent wrestling. “Don’t hang around the airport with a bunch of merchandise to sign. It’s bulls*it. It’s taking the piss. It’s taking advantage. It’s WrestleMania, there’s plenty of signings and photo ops you can go along to. We’re just trying to get our stuff, say hi to a few people, say thank you for coming to Mania, and go to the hotel to begin the biggest week of the year. “Speaking of the hotel, f*ck off. Stay away from the hotel. That’s the safe space. Imagine that’s our house for the week because it is our house for the week. It’s our home for the week. We have our family and friends there, some of the superstars have kids, respect their personal space. Would you like someone coming in to your house and shoving a camera in your face and your kid’s face. Think of it that way.”
McIntyre further added, “Don’t interrupt people if they’re in the middle of a conversation with their friends or family or linger near and be weird. Again, there’s plenty of chances to meet people during the week and if you see a superstar in the wild or on the street or the gym or a restaurant, maybe they’ll be an opportunity to say, ‘What’s up’ and take a quick photo. Don’t ask for merch to be signed and once again, not the f*cking hotel. “Shoot names. Government names. Don’t call people by their real names. That’s a sure fire sign we need to run the f*ck away. I’m called Drew so I’m pretty much screwed, this is more to do with the girls. It’s very creepy, don’t do it.”
