Crazy Wrestling Autograph Story

One of my favorite scenes in "The Wrestler" is when Mickey Rourke is doing an autograph signing, at an event with other ex-wrestlers (fun fact: the writer/director of the movie plays a guy that asks for his autograph after one of his matches at a high school gym).

Well, in real life an an autograph signing, a wrestler flipped off a 7-year-old boy. Here's a link to the story on TMZ:

MJF is a huge jerk on the show, so if a child wants to meet MJF, they should expect to meet that character. They arent meeting the guy that plays MJF, they are meeting MJF. When a little girl meets a princess at Disney World, they expect to meet the princess. Same idea here.

Comment by Darryl Gundersen on March 10, 2020 at 4:35pm: I noticed that MJF's goon, Wardlow, was signing both his name AND MJF's name on the photos while MJF was standing next to him looking at his phone. Assuming the signing was free, I think that this is hilarious and must have made for an entertaining meet and greet.
