People who think they decide what is a sport and what's not, Bronies, people who think wrestling is fake and gay, people who push their conservative Fox News views down my throat

This will be VERY unpopular with some on these boards.
Hbk Fans.
The guy was a straight up jobber in the 80's when wrestling was hot and huge. We had guys like Demolition, Road Warriors, Powers of Pain, Macho Man, Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant, all guys at the top of the business all badasses. Then they took one half of the Rockers, cool gimick btw, and turned him into a male stripper/escort. We went from giant tough guys who talked about kicking teeth in and inflicting pain, to hbk. A clown who's theme said he was sexy, and he was a male toy, and who would prance around as girly/gay as possible.
Then he got a push, and then an even bigger push. And he was fortunante enough that the major stars all left the company so he became a "top" name. Why? Idk. In various shoot interviews I've seen different wrestlers suggest that Shawn had some kind of intimate relationship with Vince and so this is why he had such a giant push.
Hbk prancing around on television and being the Champ/top guy made me ashamed to admit I liked wrestling. As it is people usually say wrestling is fake. So as a kid you have to try and defend wrestling as being real, and then you turn on the T.V. and there is HBK taking a slap to the face and then dancing around on "dream street".
Diehard HBK fans will argue that HBK is one of the best, but that's false. He may have known how to work but that doesnt mean you're a top guy. Tully Blanchard, Ted Dibiase, Terry Taylor, to name a few from HBKs earlier years, could work circles around HBK. And yet they were never top guys so obviously knowing how to work isnt all there is to it.
And then HBK was the top guy during WWF's darkest years. They weren't making much money when HBK was on top, so he obviously wasnt selling many tickets while he was champion.
To me HBK has the same skills, talents, and gimick as the following; Adrian Street Adrian Adonis circa WM3 Rip Rogers Billy and Chuck
All pretty good workers, like HBK. All pushing the gay gimick, like HBK. Only the thing that seperates HBK from those other guys is Vince who, for some reason, loved HBK and pushed him to the top.
It's been a nightmare having HBK around this long in wrestling. He's just a total Schmuck jobber that got incredibly lucky. Im glad he made something with his life but wow do I hate people who call him one of the best.

Guess.
Anyone who likes rappers like A$AP Rocky, Drake, Wale, etc and don't understand what true Hip-Hop is and that there is a major difference between Hip-Hop and Rap. (hard one wasn't it)

You were supposed to hate Shawn Michaels for all of those reasons, no? There's your proof he's one of the best. I'm fine with you not being a fan, could not care less really, but to discount the millions of people who have chanted "HBK" over the past twenty years, and chalk his success up to him being buddy-buddy with the boss, is absolutely ridiculous. You say "knowing how to work" doesn't make you a star, and yes, you're absolutely right. Neither does a gimmick nor mic skills. It's the connection with the fans that makes someone a star, something HBK did better than 99.99% of any man or woman to step foot in a WWE/F ring. He may not have been able to connect with you, but the millions he did connect with prove you wrong- Shawn Michaels is one of the best there ever was.

Militant Athiests (Richard Dawkins). How is Dawkins a militant atheist? How is any atheist militant? We don't use violence, weapons or terror to get our point across, only words, facts, evidence, reason and logic.

What I meant was that he is constantly up his own arse, taking the moral high ground and shoving his personal beliefs down everyone's throats. There are people like that in every group but he annoys me in particular.

The pretentious douche bag Christopher Nolan Batman fans. Once Dark Knight came out about a third of the worlds population suddenly became Batman experts and anything other than Christopher Nolan's take on Batman is just flat out wrong.
Do not get me wrong I really enjoyed the Nolan Batman movies, but hate the pretentious fans that it spawned.

He may not have been able to connect with you, but the millions he did connect with prove you wrong- Shawn Michaels is one of the best there ever was. I can see you love HBK so I'll never be able to open your eyes to what a Jabronie he is. Just know that people will chant what they are trained to chant. Your boyfriend is your boss, your boss forces others to make you look good. So now people chant your name. Not cause you're good, but because it's what they've been taught. It's kind of like Monster Jam. You walk in and there are Grave Digger posters, banners, hats, shirts, cups, toys, and so on. So kids walk into these events and are trained to think Grave Digger is the best truck. And then during the show Grave Digger is always featured last, so it's the one you'll most remember cause it's the one you saw last. The company has built an image they want to push as being the main attraction, they also do this in wrestling. The difference is that Grave Digger is a badass looking truck, where as HBK looked like a cheap male prostitute in his early days and now looks like an old washed up no body IMO. Beleive me it all comes down to who Vince likes best. Look at Demolition, good looking team, pushed as one of the best, main evented, sold lots of merchandise, but as soon as Vince liked LOD better he kicked Demolition to the curb. And not just Demolition, Vince has kicked lots of people to the curb. But for some reason, possibly cause they are boyfriends, HBK has never been kicked aside. Look at the history of the company. Hulk Hogan on top was a peak for the company as far as making money. Enter HBK as main event. Hbk was a total slump for the company money wise. Exit HBK Rock/Stone Cold and the company balloned up big again. The proof is in the money that HBK stinks. but you've been trained to love him so you will.

Yeah, I've read his book "The God Delusion" and the reason he feels the way he does about religion is because of all the harm it's caused and it's oppressive nature. That's why I feel the way I do about religion and why Dawkins is my personal role model and why I look up to him. The only difference between me and him is that I used to be religious for the majority of my life, so I hear where he's coming from.

Dr. Who, Supernatural, Sherlock all seem a little overdone to me, but that's probably from being on Tumblr. BELIEBERS, One Direction fans... TNA fans I've never known anyone who brags about their favorite fast food though...
