MJF Issues Cautionary Message to Fans Awaiting Autographs at Airports

MJF has been touted as one of the defining heels of the current generation of pro wrestlers and it is not difficult to understand why. The AEW World Champion enjoys calling himself the Devil and it appears that’s why he refuses to sign autographs for fans at airports.

The issue of fans showing up at airports to meet pro wrestlers has become a recurring problem for several stars. While chance encounters are usually welcomed, a particular group of people now deliberately plan to be at the airport with a ton of merchandise, hoping to get the stars to sign them. These items are then later sold on eBay for a profit, causing frustration for the wrestlers.

Earlier this year, a video of an unmasked Rey Mysterio found its way to social media. In the clip, Rey is seen rejecting a fan’s request for autograph at an airport. Of course, this fan was obviously trying to sell Mysterio’s autograph for a profit.

While speaking during an appearance on Hot Ones, MJF was asked what stands out as the most insufferable kind of wrestling fan to meet. MJF then answered it’s the fans who wait at airports for autographs, making it clear he will never sign any autographs for them.

“If you’re a fan and you are waiting out at the airport and think you’re getting an autograph from me? F***** think twice a******. It’s not happening.”

Wrestlers are not obliged to entertain fan requests, and it entirely depends on the wrestler in question whether they want to sign anything. Regardless, there will always be a section of fans who feel entitled to get autographs and that’s unlikely to ever change.

What is your opinion on what MJF said? Do you think some fans are simply too entitled? Sound off in the comments!
