Drew McIntyre has a message for fans heading to Las Vegas for WrestleMania 41—and he’s not sugarcoating a damn thing.

In a brutally honest PSA posted to Twitter/X, the former WWE Champion laid out a set of do’s and don’ts for anyone attending the biggest wrestling weekend of the year. His goal? To stop fans from ruining it for everyone, including themselves.

“It’s WrestleMania week, the most exciting time of the year, and pro wrestling is on fire,” McIntyre said. “We’re in a golden age beyond golden age, and the whole industry is descending on Vegas… I’m worried about you guys. I’m concerned you’re going to fck it up.”*

And that’s where his PSA began—first with a few respectful tips. “Be respectful to any wrestlers you see, and each other. But mostly us, it’s our busiest work week of the year,” he advised. McIntyre urged fans not to block wrestlers in transit, adding, “We’re probably trying to get to an appearance… or seeing our family and friends that we never, ever, ever see.” Oh, and he also threw in a plea that should be obvious: “Wear deodorant. Please wear deodorant.”

Then came the don’ts—where things got heated. McIntyre didn’t hold back, especially when it came to fans lurking for autographs. “Don’t hang around at the airport with a bunch of merchandise to sign. It’s bullsht. It’s taking the piss. It’s taking advantage,”* he snapped.

But his harshest warning was saved for those thinking about showing up at WWE’s hotel. “Fck off. Stay away from the hotel. That’s a safe space. Imagine that’s our house because it is our house for the week,”* McIntyre said. “Would you like someone coming into your house, shoving a camera in your face, in your kid’s face? Think of it that way.”

He also called out fans who interrupt private conversations, ask for merchandise signings in public, and worst of all—use real names. “Street names, real names, government names. Don’t call people by their real names,” McIntyre warned. “That’s a surefire sign we need to run the fck away… This is more to do with the girls. It’s very creepy. Don’t do it.”*

McIntyre closed the message by saying he hopes fans actually listen to his advice, not just hear it. “Everybody attending Mania, get together, talk about the thing we love and brought us together—professional wrestling,” he said. “It’s going to be the biggest one yet, and I guarantee Drew McIntyre is going to steal the weekend.”

Whether you love his delivery or think he crossed the line, Drew McIntyre isn’t wrong about one thing—WrestleMania week should be about enjoying the spectacle, not crossing boundaries. Respect goes a long way, and if fans play it right, everyone wins.
