Many, many fans have been totally turned off..
I just received a call from Chicago, the line for Shawn Michaels book signing is so long now that the store is telling the fans towards the end of the line (which is blocks away) that they are taking their chances staying, he may not get to everyone. I'm told its the longest line for a signing ever seen by the fans.
I have also received so many complaints from fans, especially the ones who came in from Europe and are at the same hotel as the wrestlers, that they are rude, won't sign autographs, etc. And security has also been extremely rude, even though they are staying at the same hotel.
Many have already checked out and gone to another hotel.
One couple from England just wanted Triple H to sign their belt at his book signing, and they were told only the book can be signed. To me that is just plain unforgivable.
Some of my Chatterbox subscribers have called me and told me they are so sorry they have traveled to Chicago, wished they stayed home.
I just received another call, the fans on line for Shawn's signing have just been told he HAS to leave at 2 PM, so at least 1,000 fans will NOT get to see him and get their books signed.
I hear that many fans camped outside the store at 3:30 AM., just to make sure they would get to see him.
There were 1,500 fans at Rob Van Dam signing, I was told.
More updates later, as the news comes in.
BTW - I just received an IM asking if I heard anything about Dustin. Rumors were he died, but don't forget it's APRIL FOOLS DAY !!
Dustin is fine he went for his white Tux and gold tie for the Hall of Fame, and couldn't be better.
