As previously reported, Kevin Owens noted in a recent interview that he once signed an autograph with “Don’t follow us at the airport.” He said he did that because wrestlers generally don’t like it when fans wait for autographs with a lot of merch that they later sell on eBay. However, in a post on Twitter, Owens clairifed that he doesn’t mean that he doesn’t want to meet fans at airports, but that they should show proper respect.

He said: “To clarify: If you happen to run into me at an airport or wherever, really, feel free to come talk to me or ask for a picture or an autograph if you want and if I am in a position to oblige, I absolutely will. If you come to the airport with a plastic bin full of merch and wait at baggage claim with 26 other people and get upset when I say I won’t sign but I’m happy to take a picture with you, go have intercourse with yourself.

When asked why he would still offer a picture, he added: “Because a picture takes a second. Usually, the people that are there to sell the stuff we sign have a dozen things to sign. I used to say “I’ll sign one” and still get attitude back or they’d get something signed and then come back again a few seconds later, hoping I didn’t pay close enough attention to who I was signing for and try to get something else signed. It’s like anything else in life…the people that are cool and sensible end up paying the price because of the ones that are selfish pricks. Taking a picture with everyone is my way of making sure the good ones still get something.
