You are going to get recognized. For the most part, WWF wrestlers are congenial and enjoy interacting with fans. Most of them aren't far removed from being just another wrestling fan at the arena. Most aren't obscenely wealthy and few live like the typical professional athlete. In the WWF, there are no minimum salaries or powerful unions to negotiate contracts.
Wrestlers often work out their own deals.
And the majority of those include promotional and merchandising clauses. The best way to get your new merchandise to fans is to wear it to the ring or at promotional appearances. Those appearances require interaction with fans. But those are also arranged and organized. There is no organization in the weight room or in restaurants.
