Now that we're done talking contrived discussions, I'd like you to answer why you watch wrestling. Do you like supporting people who will eventually kill their families than then themselves? Do you like watching necrophilia angles and John Cena? Do you like some other stupid, contrived, limited and dishonest thing I'm too lazy to waste my time on making this point?

Just how many necrophilia angles have we had in the past few years? How many wrestlers have committed a double murder-suicide? The answer to both questions is "I can only recall one event of this happening." Thankfully they were separate events.
As of Cena, no, I don't like him, but it's not X-Pac heat or a Conway pop (whichever you prefer). I'm looking forward to him dropping the title. While he has been pushed down our pikes I've gotten sick of it to the point where I want to see him hurt (the wrestler, not the person mind you). I’ll admit I mark out every time Cena is about to drop the title.
But now for the big question- why do I watch wrestling....
It's part of who I am. It's part of my friends, and part of my family. If you were raised in a house where football and baseball were on every possible chance, and your friends were into it also, there's a good chance you'd be a fan.
While many members of my family and a few of my friends have stopped watching I keep watching. I'm willing to sit through a lot of crap to find something awesome. My older brother is a hardcore Raider's fan. We share the same theory for who a fan really is. A fan will stick with it even when it's not cool to do it just because they are a fan. I'm not going to jump off the bandwagon just because it's no longer cool. I still enjoy it, and just because other people do not enjoy doesn’t give me any reason to stop.
It's also part of what I want to do. No, I don't want to be a wrestler, I want to be a performer. I want to put up a front and have people buy my humbug. There's an actor in me who strives for an audience. It's the only reason why I haven't quit my current job. It gives me a chance to bullshit people, and it's my platform for running for city council in a few years. Just to bullshit people. I’d like to believe that I’ve learned a lot when it comes to how to talk to people and bullshit people by watching wrestling. Be it how to slowly build up an explosive tirade, or how to diffuse people with humor.
So KK, here's a question for you- I see you on the wrestling board quite often, and you're sig talks about wrestling. You seem to know what's going on, but how much into wrestling are you?
