Does it ever just piss you off dealing with people who know you're into wrestling and sort of ask you about it in a condescending/mocking way? Maybe I'm sensitive - but a bunch of coworkers know what a big fan I am - and when coming in from a cold walk after a long night, several ask me how Smackdown was last night. At first it's like I can respond and try to deliver some serious answers but then it turns into sarcastic type jokes that for some reason they think they can get away with. I think what burns me is that people sometimes associate wrestling fans with morons - like I get your dumbass jokes people and they aren't funny!!!

"Yo mamma enjoyed it when I layethed it upon her"

I get that look when people ask "what your favorite sport is" and I answer "wrestling".... I know somw of you are going to say its sport entertainment, but still.

It used to bother me when I'd try to explain and justify liking it, but now I just act like a gigamark back at those people to annoy them further. If they can't manage to be respectful, there's no reason to take them seriously.

My boss used to sarcastically as me about wrestling cause he didn't "get it". Then one morning he asked me about it and I replied "It was great, I talked to the HR department about it, I think you have a meeting this week." He stopped.

It absolutely  s me off.  On the plus side, though, the girls in my grade find it cute that I still watch wrestling. |

If somebody needs to put someone else down to feel better about themselves, they're pretty damn sad in the first place. It's your life, love what you wanna love.

For some reason, people who ask me about it are even bigger idiots. They will ask "who won SummerSlam?" and get confused why I just stare at them blankly.

I got that all the time when I was in the indy business. They would ask questions like who won and whatnot. I would just look at them and give them the answer knowing they have no idea what I was talking about. I think a lot of those people thought I was working with the likes of Hulk Hogan and so on.

Don't forget, these same people who mock us for liking wrestling, are usually huge MMA or UFC fans.
So they rather watch two men, in little shorts, rub on top of each other for 5 minutes at a time, trying to 'gain advantage' in some sort of homosexual ritual (not that there's anything wrong with that) and still say we're gay for watching wrestling.

Just the other night, I'm hanging with my GF's family, and they're all watching a football game on TV. The GF's sister's husband asked if I follow football. I don't, and told him so. To which he answers... "Not pretend enough for ya?" followed by a laugh.

Its brilliant when people ask me about it, I tell them and they have no clue what I just said. For some reason, people who ask me about it are even bigger idiots.

My brother rings me up a lot and asks me who won x event in x year or whatever, its annoying but actually a little fun seeing how much I actually know off the top of my head. |

Doesn't bother me. I don't care if someone thinks it's lame. I like it. No one is making them watch. Whatever. Gotta let stuff roll off your back.
