Vladimir Abouzeide, popularly known as ‘Vlad the Superfan’ is not the only one who is a huge fan of professional wrestling. Fans like ‘Brock Lesnar Guy’, ‘Frank the Clown’, and ‘Rock the Sign Guy’ were also quite famous back then. But there is a thing that separates Abouzeide from all of them.
What made ‘Vald the Superfan’ so popular?
Back then, whenever there was a wrestling pay-per-view in and around New York City, a guy was always spotted on camera. People started calling him a wrestling superfan and soon after he caught the attention of Triple H and Stephanie McMahon.
In 2021, at WrestleMania 37, Stephanie McMahon and Triple H announced that soon WWE is going to release a documentary about Vladimir being the greatest fan of the pro-wrestling.
