Much has been said about John Laurinaitis’ recent meet-and-greet after it was alleged that he used AI to make the looks appear more popular.
Laurinaitis has since deleted the post in query and has faced mockery by fans in addition to some within the wrestling business for the image.
On Facebook, J Wellington Radcliffe, who organized the meet-and-greet with Laurinaitis, shared his side of the story.
In keeping with Radcliffe, the previous WWE GM met with 150-200 fans, not the seemingly 1000’s the image shared would lead fans to consider.
Laurinaitis was a whole skilled, Radcliffe added, and fans paid between $60-$100, depending on the item they desired to get signed.
Radcliffe rejected claims that fans showed as much as protest Laurinaitis’ appearance, saying that everybody had an enjoyable experience.
Later within the day, Laurinaitis portrayed his heel persona as a part of a wrestling event and provided free photos to any fan who asked him.
Radcliffe concludes by reiterating that Laurinaitis was a pleasure to work with and hopes that is the beginning of more appearances for the previous WWE exec.
“A honest and straightforward review of Mr. Laurinaitis’ first appearance, from the guy that booked him. I consider my review means greater than podcasters and promoters that weren’t in attendance, nor involved with the looks. He interacted with every talent there, through which, everyone had a positive experience. He met 150-200 fans over the course of the 5hr Fan Fest, and so they paid $60-$100, depending on what they wanted. He gave each fan a positive experience, he was a whole skilled on the signing, and gave the fans an excellent interaction. Although, web trolls, and keyboard warriors, claimed they’d show as much as protest, not one got here out to accomplish that. All of them had a really enjoyable experience throughout the Meet & Greet.
“On the Super Show, he portrayed his heel persona, and the people loved to hate the Mr. Laurinaitis character. He ushered in the brand new era of the people power movement on the event. After his segment, he watched several matches, and he spoke to those talents he watched. I’d say while he was still there 40-50 fans walked up and asked for a photograph op, which he did freed from charge.
“It was a really positive experience had by all, the fans, Mr. Laurinaitis and WCPBTW. I consider now that it’s known that the experience may be very positive at his appearances, he may have increasingly come to satisfy him. It’s now proven that he doesn’t have heat, there have been no negatives, and that his appearances will run as easily as everyone else’s.”
