I wasn't.

I thought it was shit. I'm not "embarrassed" when a band I like makes a bad record, or when a TV show I like makes a really bad episode, or whatever.

I watch WWE because I like wrestling. Just because some shit is stupid, odesn't make me embarrassed or ashamed. It might disappoint me. It might even anger me (Depending on the context and medium), but embarrassed because something stupid happened on a mainstream TV show?

Fuuuuuuuck no.

I guess I'm a little bit more open in my public expression of my love for WWE, in that unlike the person who says they're not a t-shirt person, probably a 1/3 of my t-shirts are WrestleMania ones or the classic DX one I have, and I got a couple hats too, but other than that, unless someone asks me about it it's like the Army for me: Don't ask, don't tell.

I love wrestling, never ashamed to admit it, course most of the time I'm usually wearing a wrestling related product, be it a shirt, sweater, hat, what have you. Whenever I leave my house I wear a hat, some days I choose a D'backs hat, sometimes it's a Stone Cold hat.
I own about 150 tshirts from the WWF/E, many jersies, baseball, football, and a few hockey, all are from WWF/E.
Most of them are kinda out of date, only about twenty are from the last two years.

Well, you've probably got way more wwf/e stuff than the average non-casual wrestling fan, that's for sure...

Most of the stuff is from the 90s, and I can't fit in to it anymore. When that happens I try to get it signed by whoever is on the shirt, alot eaiser than it sounds by the way. It's kind of weird to see Brother Ray, Brother D-Von, and Brother Runt sign a shirt as the Dudleys.

While I'm not a T-Shirt person, I do use wrestling catchphrases. Gestures, poses, and work wrestling references into conversation. Hell, on my town's message board, I responded to a third person rant with a "The Rock Says" rant. Ultimate Warrior and Booke T refs. I've got my friends saying "Da's no cool." I used to do the whole New Age Outlaws bit. Loud. Vocally.

There are definitely other ways to be open an expressive.

What I won't do:
  • Say "I'm a huge wrestling mark!"
  • Wear a T-Shirt. Most of them are ass anyway.
  • actively insist that people should watch WWE. It's not embarrassing, but their current product is not worth advertising.
What I will do:
  • Promote wrestling when there's something worth promoting. For a while there, TNA looked like it was gonna kick ass, so I hyped it.
  • Make wrestling references. Often.
  • Talk about the goods and bads. For example, I'm laughing with friends about the injured 'Taker in a cage match.

That wont do list is the same as mine except i would add the make wrestling references to that list. I can't even be bothered talking about the goods and the bads unless its with another wrestling fan. But what I will do is shut up anyone who complains that its fake and uses that as a reason not to watch.
