7 Strangest WWE Fandom Trends From The Internet
Erotica, Vines, Botches, Oh My!
WWE Fans are sort of like the Internet incarnate: they're creative, perverted and rumor-mongering. Even going back to the mid 90’s, wrestling’s most hardcore geeks were early adopters of the Internet as a means to share information and meet other fans.
Over time, the Internet’s wrestling fanboy culture has grown and matured, somewhat, though fans will always love to dish half and probably 1/16th truths online.
But, on the more redeeming end, almost every kind of wrestling fan art or podcast one can think of is readily available for purchase. Fans now have more means than ever to connect with not just other fans, but to the wrestlers themselves. And the fandom pretty much delivers on the Internet’s most basic premise - everything you didn't know you wanted to see until you saw it for the first time.
Like, how were we as a society to know we deeply wanted to receive a video mail from Jake the Snake Roberts? Or see superstars reimagined as narwhals?
This love of the bizarre and pursuit of a good laugh is at the heart of every mark with a wifi connection. Current fan trends may not always make sense, as sometimes they can expose the business, but they always showcase the love for the product.
7. The Superstar Narwahl Art
How to explain Etsy to the unfamiliar... Etsy is like if Amazon.com were run by a gaggle of tech-savvy teenage girls at an arts camp.
At first glance WWE fans may be wondering where they fit in among the people selling Game of Throne Cake Pops and pizza shaped iPhone cases, but it's not hard to find the gift or wall treatment that will set a ‘rasslin lovin’ heart alight. Especially if you're looking for some particularly odd Macho Man Randy Savage art.
If you're into such items as an Iron Macho Man poster, Macho Man eating a Hulk ice cream bar, Macho Claus Christmas Card, Macho Man having birthday cake with ODB while he wears a Wu Tang shirt and ODB is clad in an NWO shirt, you'll be quite pleased.
Even better, Savage has also been rendered majestically as a narwahl in one painting and as Abe "Macho Man" Lincoln in another. Seemingly, the narwhal thing is a bit of a trend: Hayley Cassatt has cornered the market on reimagining WWE superstars as them for $20 prints that should be all over every discerning WWE fan's house.
