I'm so and so on it. If someone talks about wrestling I'll be more than happy to conversate or chime in but a lot of the times people frown upon those who like wrestling. I had one friend tell me that being a wrestler isn't as great as being a legitimate fighter or an actor. It sort of got me upset because in order to be a wrestler you have to connect with the crowd, you have to know how to take bumps, how to cut a promo and your body is taking a beating. I don't see how it's not as great as any other athlete. You're an actor in front of a live audience so for me it's better than being an actor, you only have one take. Now going back to the subject, I do shy away from telling people I collect figures due to a bad incident. I remember telling a few friends a long time ago, they ridiculed me badly to the point where I felt ashamed of myself and to this day I try and hide figures if friends are over. Same thing goes for my family except they don't really care much anymore. I give you guys credit though, it takes balls to be proud of your hobby and to stand up for what you believe in.

If I know they are into it I'll talk about it but if not I don't bother.

If I know they are into it I'll talk about it but if not I don't bother. Yea you see my last experience with that diddnt work out to well. This was about 2-3 years ago and im at work and some of my friends are yelling out Rock quotes and talking about how they were up all night looking up old videos and how they used to love wrestling. So we casually talked about it for a minute or two and it was all cool. Now anytime I talk about wrestling I stress the fact that I do not watch it anymore. I make sure to say that I watched it as a kid but dont watch anymore. And that was that. 2-3 minutes of wrestling talk and it was over. Well i guess a couple days later they came down off whatever Rock high they were on and decided that wrestling was gay and I was gay because I used to watch it. These are my friends too, these are guys that I hang out with, drink with, and work with. It never bothered me that they were rippin on me, because we rip on each other all the time. What bothered me was that it was cool to be an attitude fan one day and the next your lame for it. Whatever though. I guess i just stopped trusting people on this subject after that happened and just decided to keep it to myself.

Kinda. I'll wear a Stone Cold shirt and attend wrestling events, and talk about wrestling with someone if they bring it up. Wrestling isn't exactly the hottest topic around a college campus. I don't care if people know but unless someone mentions something about it I keep quiet about it.

Me and my girlfriend have been dating for six months. We both love wrestling but didn't know the other did until last week. All of my friends know I watch, but if they knew just how into it I was they'd probably think it was weird. I'm not shy about my love of wrestling, but I don't bring it up either.

I'd suggest attending some independent wrestling shows in your area. You'll find many people (like yourself) who enjoy wrestling, and aren't ashamed of it...
I've been on an indy streak lately, meeting all kinds of people just loving wrestling! I've also been meeting a lot of people at autograph signings.
You probably won't feel that way once you start interacting with people that enjoy this the same way you do!

I've never seen closet wrestling. Can't be very exciting.
To answer, yes wrestling has a bad rap. But I don't care. What do other people like that's so great that they can stand in judgement of me?

I could never hide my wrestling addiction xD I have hundreds of figures on display, I shop regularly for wrestling related stuff
If someone doesn't like you simply for something you like, they aren't worth your time

Not really, I mean I don't tell anyone because you know who cares. But sometimes I read Wrestler Biographies in school or wear a t shirt and someone will ask me "you like wrestling?" and i'll say yes. As for figures Yea. I actually found out 2 guy in my class are figure collectors to so thats cool.

No point being a closet wrestling fan these days... wrestling is so popular it's ridiculous.

I don't even like wrestling as of the year 2000. I was a huge fan from 1985-2000 and I continue to be a huge fan of wrestling in that era. Almost everything about it was amazing. Larger than life personalities and larger than life human beings. Actors and stuntmen one in the same. Heroes and villains not drawn on paper. It's a crazy topic because it is a hard thing to appreciate. Many are just missing out. But it's too hard to convince people in his day and age of how great and revolutionary it all was at that time. It's not even worth a discussion most of the time.
