Rhea Ripley's recent angry message is an overreaction, says WWE veteran (Exclusive)

WWE Superstar Rhea Ripley recently had an unsavory experience with fans, prompting her to put out a frustrated message on social media. According to wrestling veteran Vince Russo, this has been blown out of proportion.

The Eradicator was recently swarmed by admirers in public when she was trying to reach her cab. This prompted her to share her experience on social media, criticizing her fans for behaving in this manner. While she has received supportive messages from her co-stars, Vince Russo thinks that this particular incident was nothing in comparison to Hulk Hogan's plight over the years.

Speaking on Writing with Russo, the WWE veteran stated:

"I am reading this comment, and you know who I am thinking of? Hulk Hogan. Could you imagine what Hulk had to go through for 40 freaking years? Could you imagine what this dude went through? We are talking about seven marks that wanted to take a selfie with Rhea Ripley."

The WWE veteran mentioned his own experiences

According to Vince Russo, being recognized in public is a part of the pro wrestling business that cannot be avoided.

Adding to his previous comments on Writing with Russo, the WWE veteran stated:

"I don't understand, first of all, what kind of business did you think you were getting into? This is part of the job. Okay, that's number one. You are never gonna have your privacy, you're never gonna go unnoticed in public. People still notice me to this day, and guess what, I don't have a problem with it because that's kind of what I signed up for."

Rhea Ripley's increasing popularity is likely to lead to more similar incidents in the future. It remains to be seen how she manages these situations down the line.
