10 Wrestlers Who Mock You For Taking It Seriously

4. Ronda Rousey

An argument can be made that Ronda Rousey is the most influential and important professional wrestler of the modern era. Not bad for someone who was only active for a year, right? Her debut match was an absolute banger, and 12 months later she had dragged WWE's women's division to the main event of WrestleMania. She brought legitimacy, credibility and an incredible aptitude for the business.

She wasn't too big on the fans, though.

“So it’s just like … what am I doing it for if I’m not being able to spend my time and energy on my family, but instead spending my time and my energy on a bunch of f*cking ungrateful fans that don’t even appreciate me? I love performing. I love the girls. I love being out there … but, at the end of the day, I was just like, ‘F*ck these fans, dude.’ My family loves me and they appreciate me and I want all my energy to go into them. So that was my decision at the end of the day. It’s like, ‘Hey girls. Love what you’re doing. I’m gonna try and take all my momentum and push you guys as far as I can … fly little birds, fly! I’m going f*cking home!’ And that was basically it.”

That just about sums it all up. Will we see Ronda Rousey in WWE again? That remains to be seen, but certain bridges may need a bit of repair work first.

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
