The Undertaker Recalls Getting Revenge Against Autograph Junkie Who Exploited Little Child For Signature

For The Undertaker, after so long in WWE, he knows how to handle aggressive autograph fans; but one went too far and paid the price.

When it comes to autographs, unfortunately there are a handful of fans who go too far. Having someone sign one thing is fine, but not multiple items. Those people are reselling the signatures online. Other times, the wrestler is simply not in the mood to do anything. It could be the time of the day or they are trying to enjoy some personal time. Or, and there is nothing wrong with it, maybe they simply not want be bothered. Remember, they are people too.

For someone like The Undertaker, he knows how to handle those overzealous people. On Busted Open Radio, The Undertaker went over a time he declined to sign something. Therefore, the person made his young child ask, thinking The Undertaker would have to say yes.

“I’m watching this guy from 2 or 3 luggage racks over and I can see him talking to this little girl,” said The Undertaker. “He is giving her verbatim what to do. She’s maybe 6 years old. Here she comes and I’m like, this son of a b—. This dog, right? She went to somebody on either side of me. She went to the wrong person first. I could hear her say ‘Mr. Undertaker, will you sign?’ [I say] I’m him, what can I do for you honey? She goes ‘Oh, I’m a big fan, will you sign this for me?’”

“I’m thinking this son of a gun sends this poor girl over here who doesn’t even know who I am,” continued The Undertaker. “I say, you know what of course I’ll sign that for you. So, I think I wrote on there, ‘Hey you can go F off’ on the picture. I put the picture face down in her hand and I said you hold this picture just like this and you take it back over there and hand it to your dad. She walked all the way back over to him and hands him the picture. He was freakin’ pissed. Don’t use a kid to try — it rubs me wrong man.”

Yes, The Undertaker is correct about not using kids. We have seen videos lately of fans hounding Rhea Ripley for an autograph, despite she looked half-asleep at the airport. Then, the same happened to Rey Mysterio and Saraya. Therefore, this is problem and not want that will be solved. All I could think, is if WWE bans talent from signing anything outside of official WWE events. Although, that would not go over well with fans and probably talent. So, is what The Undertaker did to the autograph hound the best way to handle such a situation?
