12 Things You Should Never Say To A Wrestling Fan

You just KNOW you've heard at least one of these before....

Wrestling Is Fake There are two kinds of people in this world. There are those of us who are fans of wrestling, who appreciate the storylines, athletic prowess and the humour.... And then there's the rest of the world, hereafter to be referred to as "THEM". The condescending, sneering people who disregard our favourite past time and judge us because of it. It's unfair, in a way. People have all different kinds of hobbies, be it films, games, TV shows, sports, the theatre, ballet, opera, gambling, whatever the case may be. But somehow it always attracts that negative stigma to say "I'm a wrestling fan". Very few people will understand our plight (fans of D&D, WoW and Warhammer 3000, you will always have our empathy). We have heard countless jibes and comments throughout our lives, but they all tend to follow a similar vein, that everything about wrestling is stupid and that we're stupid for liking it. Not true in any sense, but still the comments remain. When you were younger, you may have found some of these to be cruel and hurtful. As adults who've been putting up with them for years, they're just downright irritating. Here are 12 of the most popular snidey remarks that at some point or another, you're bound to have heard.
