In addition to the confiscation of signs, the WWE has resorted to more extreme measures on certain occasions. Back in the spring of 2013, a fan had his Raw is Generico sign taken away and was also told to move from his ringside seat to the opposite side of the arena. The reasoning was that the people running the show, presumably WWE officials, didnt want him there. The sign was likely a nod towards Sami Zayn, known on the independent scene as El Generico and who was at the time signed to a developmental deal in Florida Championship Wrestling. This case is a little more severe, particularly as the fan was merely acknowledging the stars storied past. Again its the WWEs way of distancing themselves from any of their talents previous achievementswhich is understandable from a business perspective but not so much from a fans point of view. Furthermore, the fact that security insisted the fan moveas well as having his sign confiscatedseems rather unnecessary and only paints the WWE in an even less favourable light.
