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! ![]() 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? Quote:

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.

I don't buy wrestling stuff much anymore, so I'm pretty safe.

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

I'm notorious for getting people to START watching, actually.

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.

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. |

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. |

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'd laugh at people buying WWE DVD's too. But not in the embarrassing way but more in the "you still wanna give this fucker McMahon money?" kinda way.

C'mon. Are you really going to argue that buying a DVD of an event that you enjoyed is laughable?

I bet Rob has at least one semi-recent DVD, and that will just make him a hypocrite.
