9 Annoying Types Of Wrestling Fan (That We All Know)

2. The One Who Only Likes Indie Wrestling

This particular wrestling fan scoffs at the very notion of watching anything €˜mainstream€™ enough to be on TV or the Internet.

They might acknowledge the existence of Japanese wrestling if they're letting their guard down, but their €˜real love' is for regional promotions in South Africa and Finland, where the poorly-trained and unskilled wrestlers €˜just get it man'.
