Why is wrestling stereotyped? How to stop the stereotypes?

**dingdongyo** · 11-18-2012, 01:43 PM

it's one of those things people like to stereotype. gives them a sense of being superior to something. "as bad as your life gets, at least you aren't a wrestling fan."

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.
