Being a wrestling fan can be bad enough sometimes. Too many people don't get that you understand exactly what you're watching, you know it's not a sport. You just think it's fun, and live, it's even better, a completely unique form of entertainment. Where else can you go cheer and boo? It's like a funky human puppet show. So before everything else, you have that hurdle. You've convinced your friends/family/significant other that pro wrestling can be fun, so what's wrong with that? Nothing...most of the time. Too much of the time, though, it can get gross, among other things. We've seen poop, vomit, simulated necrophilia, way too many references to incest, and all sort of other things that really shouldn't have a place on these shows. When it's not that, then it may be something way, way too childish to bear. It's OK if it's awkward, but it should never turn people off to an extreme degree. Sometimes, WWE has gone way too far in a number of weird directions, and it's made us embarrassed to be fans. We shouldn't be, and WWE has learned from a lot of this, but still, one of these entries happened this year, and that's bad. Let's get started, shall we?
