Booker T has shared his own account of fan behavior at WrestleMania 42 weekend in Las Vegas, and it includes one of the most extreme incidents reported by any talent all weekend.

Speaking on his Hall of Fame podcast, Booker said fans were camped out everywhere and constantly following him — including into the bathroom.

"They were camped out. They were camped out everywhere. You couldn't walk anywhere, they were camped out, and they were following me. I remember a guy literally filming me in the bathroom. When I walked out, he goes, 'Hey, hey, Booker,' and I just kept walking because I was so mad."

"He was filming me in the bathroom. But for me, it was the toughest time I think I've ever had to deal with as far as fan interaction, this year at WrestleMania in Vegas. Like I said, a lot of them were just outright disrespectful."

Booker also described getting mobbed before he had even checked into his hotel, including one encounter with a grown man who tried to pressure him into a photo using an autism diagnosis.

"I remember I was going into the hotel, hadn't even checked in yet, and I was getting mobbed. This one guy comes up to me, 'Can I get a picture, Booker T? Can I get an autograph?' I'm like, 'Man, please.' Grown man. Then he goes, 'I got autism.' You know you got autism. Well, why are you out here auting me? They throw that card on me."

Booker said he just wants fans to remember wrestlers are human.

"I just wish we would have had better security or something to handle that situation, because it was really, really bad, the worst I've ever seen."

The comments add to a growing list of WrestleMania weekend incidents involving fans in Las Vegas. CM Punk made TMZ headlines for slapping a fan's phone away, and Damian Priest was reported to have stepped in to help a female WWE talent being mobbed by fans.
