Has this ever happened to you?
So I'm in Best Buy recently and bought a wrestling DVD. The guy at the checkout line looks at the DVD and gives me the mother of all smirks like "you fucking loser, I can't believe you still watch this crap!" and slightly chuckles as he hands me the DVD in a bag.

Fuck that guy! Seriously, since I know a security camera somewhere would capture this, I feel like drinking a 5th of Old Crow and going in there again wearing a "It's Still Real To Me Damnit!!!!" T-shirt. I'll buy another wrestling DVD and go to his register. When he smirks at me again, I'll thumb him in the eye, pull him over the counter, give him a crotch shot followed by the figure four. "Whoooo, WWHHOOOOOOOO!!! Check that out fat boy! WWWHHHOOOOOOO!!!!!!!" Then I'll blade and Flair Flop onto a shopping cart.

This guy's attitude is why I don't have any actual 3 dimentional friends to talk wrestling with and never EVER mention that I watch wrestling to anyone. Christ, I feel like a freak. Are we freaks? Should we be out growing this? Do you get strange looks buying stuff or wearing wrestling merch or shirts?

I definatly get strange looks. I always have when it comes to getting wrestling stuff. I actually do feel like a loser for watching and even coming to this website, but I still do.

Put your self in his shoes. Imagine someone who's never watched a match flipping through the channels and coming across The Boogeyman or something.

Yeah, this is true. Hell, sometimes I'm embarrassed at myself when I sit through stupid shit WWE dishes out and keep coming back. My roommate and I have lived in the same place for over two years and he comes home every Monday night after work and I'm on the couch usually watching Raw. Two years and not ONE word has ever been said. Usually uncomfortable silence mixed with avoiding as much eye contact as possible. I think the only time he ever attempted to look at the screen a while back was when Doink the Clown reappeared on Raw. That was the last time he's come near the TV on Monday nights.....ever.

I hope I don't offend anyone with this (like that's out of the norm on this forum), but we may be the nerds sitting at home watching big sweaty men hurt each other, while they're sitting at home watching Friends re-runs and reciting every episode from memory. Or watching the latest episode of The Simple Life and laughing at the hilarious highjinks of Nicole and Paris.

The moral of the story is that while we may watch shit, there is much, MUCH worse shit on Television right now that "normal" people watch.

You should have told him to go fuck himself and you want to speak to his manager.

I used to work in a grocery story and some old lady told me to go fuck myself and then she wanted to talk to my manager. I guess I shouldn't have told her we don't sell that certain brand of olives. She was obsessed with this one brand of fucking olives.

The customer is always right. If she wanted them, you should have lied.

It isn't a large grocery store and I spent 20 minutes looking for that fucking brand of olives, and we didn't have them. I asked her if she had any other brand of olives she would like instead and she was hell-bent on those olives. I told her I would take her to the manager and talk about placing a special order for them and she thought I was being sarcastic.

No, mainly because I rarely buy wrestling DVDs at a store, I usually get them online. And when I DO buy them at a store, It'll usually be with at least one more thing. Once I slipped Forever Hardcore into a Walmart order.

Wal-Mart's cool because you can check stuff out yourself, at least you can out here. Not sure if it's like that everywhere though.

I've only ever seen self-checkouts at grocery stores. Never in a place like Wal-Mart or Best Buy.

Most times I buy anything wrestling related I get a look of indifference, as if the cashier couldn't give a fuck less. I got chatted up about ECW once when purchasing a DVD, but that's the occassion that was out of the norm.

As far as outgrowing wrestling goes, fuck that. I still like it to this day, regardless of how others view it. When I don't like it anymore is when I'll stop watching, and not a day sooner.

It really shouldn't matter what other people are thinking about you if you actually enjoy what you're watching. If you're so ashamed of it, maybe you should reconsider watching yourself.

I admit wrestling is kinda geeky, but I'm never afraid to tell somebody that I love it.

Good points

Xero, maybe it's just the Wal-Mart's in Southern CA then. That's where I usually go to buy toilet paper because I can check it out myself. Maybe it's just me (and probably is), but there's something uncomfortable about having a woman cashier hand me my asswipe.

I admit wrestling is kinda geeky, but I'm never afraid to tell somebody that I love it.

This thread reminds me of a few months ago. I had to go with my grandparents to St. Lawrence University because it was my Grandfather's 50th Reunion, and I went to a few of the meals.

At one of them, we started to get to talking about what I like, what I'm doing, etc, and my grandfather blurted out that I like wrestling. Now, to give your a perspective on what I was dealing with here, no one at the table was under 70 and they assumed it was sumo and/or amature. I then had to drop a few names (Hogan and Austin), and my grandfather, who has taken me to every event I've been to (including the Supershow this Monday, as I need a ride and he can sort of get into it) dropped The Undertaker (I swear to you I would think TakerLover is his other bastard grandson) but that was pretty uncomfortable. Not because I was a wrestling fan, but because I was a wrestling fan among a bunch of old people who think what the media thinks of it.

You'd probably be considered less sad if you walked up to the register with a copy of "Bend over boyfriend," a Jumbo tube of "booty lube," and a 14" dildo in harness.

Okay I know you can't properly understand the English language so this will be lost on you but I'll say it for anyone else that cares.

WWE isn't pro wrestling. Aside from the God awful PPV's, there is no wrestling on the shows. This is a company that has banned the word "wrestling" from it's own TV shows. It's bad entertainment.

Wrestling marks are the fucking most stupid people I have ever seen. If you don't agree with them, you are a tool. There is this famous saying about "drinking the kool aid" and the wrestling marks (and I'm stressing the mongs that follow WWE and ROH like it's a family member) think if you don't believe what they do then you are "drinking the kool aid". If they had half a brain, they'd look at the numbers and see that they don't lie and the majority of people aren't the ones drinking anything.

I don't hate pro wrestling (although JamesSteele might be able to see into the future or something). When it's good, I enjoy it and when it's bad, I don't. Simple as that really. I am not "loyal" or a "supporter" of any promotion. I shouldn't be either. It's their job to entertain me to the point I want to pay money to see their shows and buy their products. They are doing a shitty job of it.

All the guys I like are either gone, injured or being so misused that I don't want to see them now. All the matches are the exact same thing over and over. How many times have Shelton Benjamin and Carlito wrestled each other on TV in the last 2 months? I'm bored. Right now I watch maybe 45 minutes of WWE TV a week and I caught about half of Impact last week.

I don't post bitchy comments to be bitchy. I do it because the product is so shit right now. And also to amuse myself when certain friggin marks have no concept of the real world that I feel like I'm cheating myself if I don't make light of it. Half of you can't even read. Okay you can read the actual words but half of you can't take it in. I'm sure someone like Kane Knight could explain that better than I could though.

This brings me to UFC. How come you don't see guys like CyNick here anymore? Because he is just like me. His love for wrestling has been fucking beaten down beyond belief and we found a new love - MMA. This is a sport that practically books perfect pro wrestling with next to no regular TV and yet they are pissing over WWE. How can a shoot company book better angles and characters than the biggest worked company of all time? WWE pay people to write TV and they fucking suck. UFC for example build a story about one man wanting to beat up another man and it draws What a concept~!

I look at pro wrestling right now and I swear on my daughter that I could book both WWE and TNA so much better in a heartbeat and that's without bringing in one single piece of new talent or totally changing anybody's gimmick/character.

You don't like what I'm saying? That's fine. Don't read it or don't respond to it. You want to actually read the words I say, take it all it (and not think you are smart and try that "reading between the lines" bullshit) and challenge anything I've said? Cool. I'll debate anything I've said. I'll still post what I like and when I like.

Hooooooo fucking rah!

The thing that draws me to UFC wouldn't be the stories or the angles they've built up, but the contests themselves. I haven't watched UFC for long but I hope they don't go down the road of 'booking' matches.

As far as I understand, and correct me if I'm wrong, but they tried to book Shamrock/Ortiz following the finale of the Ultimate Fighter and that's just wrong. If I wanted to see gimmicks and stories, I'd watch wrestling.

That was exactly what they did. They knew they wanted to fight so they told them to coach the teams in series 3 and then they'd fight after it. And it turned into the biggest MMA PPV of all time. Not bad eh. But if you'd rather watch wrestling then crack on.

And if you think boxing doesn't do the same then open your eyes mate.
