And it's like the fans get offended when you don't do what they want.
I'm pretty sure there was a backlash because Tyler Black wasn't made champ when "the fans" wanted it. It's so friggen stupid. I like watching WWE and to an extent TNA because I find marks less annoying. You can watch it with anybody and everybody just chills. With indy wrestling it's like it effects their day if something doesn't go the way the fans want it to go.

Sounds like hardcore sports fans. The kind that will sit there and talk about stats the entire game.

People like this are everywhere.

I get your point, but
The difference in my opinion is sports are real. You are essentially getting pissed at a male version of a soap opera

See, this is what I don't get. What does the fact that it's "real" have anything to do with anything? Will your favorite baseball team losing affect your life in any way?

Just because it isn't real doesn't mean it doesn't draw real emotion. I'm not saying you're wrong, because you're not in terms of a lot of the fans. But to dismiss it just because it's "fake" isn't really fair when, at the end of the day, a sports team losing or winning isn't anymore important than a wrestling title changing hands.

And if it is, please explain, because I fail to see the difference. At the end of the day, it's all entertainment.

Honestly, I'm a hardcore sports fan, especially hockey. If your team losing affects your day than you are a loser as well. I get mad during Leafs games all the time, but when the game is done, I go on with my day. It's when people take it WAAAY too seriously as I've noticed a lot of wrestling fans do. Do I talk hockey a lot? Sure. But I don't go around thinking I'm smarter than the GM, and I honestly think the majority of indy fans think they could book a show better than the bookers and it's fucking annoying.

So do you believe that someone taking wrestling as seriously as you take hockey (which may or may not be "too serious") is more ridiculous than your fandom of hockey?

Yes, because hockey is real. Getting pissed at a wrestling event and having it ruin your day is no different than going to the circus and being pissed for hours because Dumbo didn't stand on that stupid ball.

Yes. Getting legit angry at a work is more retarded than getting legit angry when your sports team plays shit.
