i do coaching/skating with a local roller derby league here. casual fans refuse to get into the sport/technicalities of it. whenever i mention rules, points, strategies, etc., people immediately fall asleep. the only allure to anyone, male or female, is a bunch of girls with wild nicknames in skates and flashy costumes with ass-jacker stockings throwing elbows at each other. what sport?
so, the only reason they like it at all is because it is like wrestling. weird.

It really doesn't hurt that pro wrestling is about as low as one can get on the "lowest common denominator" totem poll. On the other hand, it's still not Jersey Shore.
I doubt we'll change the stereotype because wrestling ain't about to get more classy. And really, I doubt wrestling fans care about this too much. I mean, maybe we want to forget Katie Vick or the birth of the hand, but if we were looking for sophistication, we'd head elsewhere.
Call it a guilty pleasure if you want. Or, say you enjoy it "ironically" like a douchebag hipster. Everybody likes hipsters, right?
