Hunsperger attended both nights of the annual WWE event in Los Angeles this year. He paid tribute by dressing up as the Hall of Famer. However, his enthusiasm didn’t last long, as the security guard’s overzealousness overshadowed the event.
According to the fan, there were no problems on the first night. But a security guard confronted him on the second night as he walked through the gates. The guard said he couldn’t come in. Since he had a patch from the sheriff’s department in Georgia on his sleeve.

After Hunsperger removed the badge, the guard still kept him out. “The guard still didn’t let me in and insisted he “took the shirt off, even when other security guards, workers, and fans tried telling him I was in cosplay, even had “Big Boss Man” across my chest.”
He went on to say that the security guard wasn’t ready to let him in when all he had was a foam nightstick. However, he noted that other fans walked in carrying metal belts and other stuff.
He concluded, “I was made to serve hard time, at least for a couple of minutes, when I changed into a ‘Big Boss Man’ t-shirt and came in and enjoyed the show.”
