Things I wish I had...

A Cabin in the woods in PA or Upstate with shit I could shoot at like rabbits or turkey or cows. A four wheeler, a jet ski for the lake nearby, a shit ton of weed liqour and beer, an access to LSD because the guy's in town once a month....

I also have slaves but not the black or jewish kind, I pay them but they are still titles slaves, oh yes they are of the sexual variety but they cook and clean up my mess and take care of me when im gone from this world on the drugs and alcohol.

Probably also Lex Luger stops by to be like "listen dude you need to pull it together" and then I just say "Lex meet me in my ring by the lake under the gazebo" where I use the skills that my slaves have taught me oh yeah did I mention my slaves are WWE divas present and past, like Sunny (yeah even now), Stacey Keibler, Trish, Kelly, The Bellas, Nattie, and other fat bootie bitches and their daughters (for the future).

So I've really though this out and there ya go.

The thing is, everyone uses the internet today. Some douchebag jock or dumbass bitch could refer to people like us as 'internet geeks', but ten minutes later they'll be Facebook posting pictures of their reflections in the mirror or sharing some totally irrelevent update on the mundane existence they call life.

I find it ironic when ppl on the net streotype us wrestling fans, then turn around and be the very definition of "geek". I'd say updating your Facebook or Twitter every minute of your day is upholding the perception of being a nerd. As you can see from some of the replies here, alot of ppl here have more depth than a freaking streotype. Of course, labelling someone before you meet them is as shallow and narrow minded as you can get. Obviously being a geek and having common sense or intelligence don't necessarily go together. So, I never put much stock or value in those kind of opinions...

Being on the net and being an internet geek are worlds apart though.

It's one thing to keep an up to date facebook profile, it's another thing entirely to dedicate hours on a forum discussing anything.

Taker It Easy is fucking amazing. Just saying.

As for myself, I feel I do not fit into the typical wrestling fan stereotype.

I am a 25 year-old Straight Edge dude with an average build. My interests include music, playing guitar, collecting comics and graphic novels, playing video games, watching TV shows, etc.

Now those things may sound nerdy, in which they are. But if you seen me in person I don't think you'd expect me to be the dork type. I dress fairly simple. Either jeans and a shirt, or some Dickies shorts and usually a pair of Vans.

As for the music I listen to, I am a Hardcore kid. Bands like Earth Crisis, Trial, Strife, Etc. I listen to all types of metal, classic rock, hip hop, oldies, pretty much anything that sounds good to me.

As for the shows I like, LOST is the best show ever. I recently got into Sons Of Anarchy because my girlfriend got me into it. I'm also a fan of Dexter, The Walking Dead, Quantum Leap, Family Guy, Robot Chicken. I need to start watching Breaking Bad.

I'm tend to steer clear of the mainstream mainly when it comes to music, I don't dig on the crap they usually play on the radio. So I guess I'm anti-mainstream in that aspect. Also with lame ass 'reality' TV these days.

Gonna do this XL format.

I am a 26 year old male hailing from Parts Unknown.

Music: I don't really listen to music anymore. Used to listen to a lot. Mainly "Classic Rock". Beatles, Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, etc. I still like them, I just never listen to music anymore. Used to listen on the bus/subways but gave it up for reading/writing on the bus. Don't really listen to music at home. Nowadays I will mostly just occasionally look up songs on youtube and listen to them after they have somehow become stuck in my head. I also tend to listen to movie soundtracks a lot because I like the emotional connections it gives. Saw X-Men First Class a few weeks ago and thus am still playing that music from time to time.

TV/Movies: I love TV and Movies. Shows I currently watch are Futurama, Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother, Dexter, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Boardwalk Empire, Walking Dead, Bored to Death, Breaking Bad. I think some of the most brilliant shows of all times are Frasier, Pushing Daisies, Firefly, Arrested Development, and Soap.
Movie wise, I don't like to play the "favorite" game. I like all kinds from around the world. Watch pretty much everything except horror movies, because I am a pussy. I notice that I tend to really like movies that are in trilogies (BttF, Star Wars, LotR, Godfather, even American Pie).

Fashion: I am one of the least fashionable guys ever. Own like three pairs of jeans and the same set of 7-8 T-shirts for many many many years. I am well aware that I need new clothes, but despise shopping so much that I never get them.

Hobbies: I do not work out at all (But am fairly skinny nonetheless). I do not play video games anymore. I am a big comic book nerd. Mainly DC Comics, though they might lose me soon, which is a big deal. They had to really screw the pooch to do that. I am looking to get into TV Production, and thus have been volunteering at the local cable station on various mobile sports productions. Been doing that so long that I have become one of the "senior volunteers" and have done pretty much every job (Technical Director, Camera Operator, Replay Operator... etc). Except audio. Directed my first baseball game today. Looking for paid work elsewhere, having no luck thus far.
I also enjoy writing and am writing several short films/web series/comic book series. These projects are all stalled because I am not actually that great at writing dialog. I can make plot points, but filling in the gap is where I get stuck.

How is staying on Facebook or Twitter every minute of the day any worse than spending hours on a forum??? Easy to call someone a internet geek when you judge yourself by a different standard. It's what I hate about ppl who judge wrestling fans. They have double standards. Spending large amounts of time on the internet is the same, whether it's on Facebook or here at TPWW...

Sorry, but in my opinion, it's not the same.

What do people do on facebook? Post pictures of themselves, talk to their friends, play a few of those game apps. We're not talking indepth stuff here.

These people don't spend hours debating a niche subject like wrestling. Arguing over whether somebody deserves the label "awesome" at this point in time, or whether they buy someone as a heel.

I guess the issue is what makes them a nerd? Being "on the internet" doesn't make you a nerd IMO. It's the reason that you do it that makes you a "nerd". Socialising on facebook doesn't make you a nerd, debating endlessly over any particular subject does.

I love how when Taker It Easy debuted everyone hated him and just threw him in with all the other crazy newbs that come here, and in 30 posts the guy is probably one of the most 'over' guys in the wrestling forums right now.

I guess the issue is what makes them a nerd? Being "on the internet" doesn't make you a nerd IMO. It's the reason that you do it that makes you a "nerd". Socialising on facebook doesn't make you a nerd, debating endlessly over any particular subject does.
I personally think being on Facebook every minute of the day "socializing" is worse. How pathetic is it that ppl are so shallow they feel the need to post every detail of their life??? At least here there's some privacy and we can discuss issues. Using Facebook can be useful, but too often ppl obsess over it.

I guess it depends on what you see as an "internet nerd". If that defintion is talking intelligently and not posting every irrelevant detail of your life, then yeah I'm a nerd. Although I think there's a fine line on this issue, and that's why I call BS, I hate double standards, b/c this is a clear case of it...

I certainly don't mind some mainstream stuff as long as that mainstream stuff isn't retarded as f*ck. For me, I mostly dig movies, classic television shows, basketball, video games, cats, mall crawling, drawing, writing, general hanging with friends, long walks on beach with someone who isn't afraid to love and bondage. I made up two of those things.

I'm not even approaching the Taker It Easy bandwagon until he releases an official sticker book via Panini.

Ultimately, whether you're on a wrestling forum or spending all your time on Facebook, ppl tend to streotype you as a nerd. Does that mean it's true? No, b/c everyone enjoys the internet in their own ways. If we are judging by that standard, you can't really classify one as a nerd and not the other. Which is the reason I call the issue a double standard. Convient to call this place a "wrestling geek" forum and then having self centered jackasses thinking they are better than you. I love too how "socializing" isn't considered to be putting too much effort into your time online. It takes as much effort to post every detail of every day that it does to have an intelligent discussion here.

It is silly and pointless to a large degree. The thread title seems to want more depth from the wrestling fans. Then, the guy who posted it basically thinks talking wrestling makes you a internet nerd. I'm just pointing out it's hypocritical to streotype all the internet fans for a few dumbasses.

That's exactly the kind of dumbass posts I'm referring to. Thank you for a good example. I discuss wrestling, and you don't enjoy it. Why??? B/c I don't mark out blindly for popular opinion or agree with everyone. I could care less if you like me.
