I guess my biggest pet peev isn't with wrestling, but with wrestling fans.

Yesterday I was at a mall and I found wrestling shirts in hot-topic.... DX and Cena... I don't want some pseudo pop-culture reject wearing any wrestling swag. Yea, I go in there for band shirts and video game shirts because I suport the bands and I love video games. No big deal. But seriously, wrestling shirts NEED to get out of hot-topic. I could just see some 15 year old spoiled kid who never had to wear hand-me-downs saying "My mom doesn't like me shopping here, so I'm going to here and because I have the emotioal depth of a puddle on the road I'm going to wear these shirts." Seriously, the WWE needs to get the F out of hot topic.
And Spencer's too!
If WWE wants to become mainstream again hot topic is NOT the way to do it. They're reaching out to the shallow demographic that the WWE does not want. Yea, we're faced with plot holes every week, but at least we (as internet fans) are smart enough (for the most part) to figure out who we cheer for and who we boo without hot topic telling us what's cool.

On the subject of wrestling fans....
I don't make fun of nascar or baseball because I don't follow it. I can carry on a decent conversation but I never say someone is wrong because of their point of view. People who watch it on a normal basis have every right to make fun of it, and rip into it. Casual fans who only see it when they feel like it, or when there's nothing better to do, need to shut up because you don't know what you're talking about.
If you're a casual wrestling fan, that's cool. I hope you enjoy what you see, but don't argue with the real fans. You don't know what you're talking about just because you are a jerkoff who only reads the stuff online and wouldn't know good wrestling if it was right in front of their face. If you don't watch TNA then don't rip into TNA. If you don't watch Raw or SmackDown then don't make fun of what you're not watching. Hell, albeit it won't be the same as how it used to be don't insult ECW unless you follow it.
I'm not saying you need to devote 6 hours a week to talk about wrestling. Just keep in mind that if you're not watching on a normal basis and you're opening your damn mouth you don't know what you're talking about. To quote Y2J, Will you please shut THE HELL up?

There, I said it.
