I'll admit the iMPACT Zone crowds can go overboard, and they do, but I'll take them over a WWE crowd 100% of the time. I'd rather have a crowd that gets too in to things and gets too excited than one who sits on their hands and act like robots.

Well, i can't speak for this guy,but it's probably the same reason I continue to watch Raw(Well, I tape it and fast forward through it really) because it's wrestling. I can hardly stomach Raw at this point, but every week I watch it because it's wrestling(sort of) and wrestling is what I love. Not a slight towards you, since its different strokes for different folks, but I don't think I could ever really understand that. Raw bored me to tears, so I stopped watching it completely, same with SD back in the day. If Impact got to that point, I'd definately stop watching that, too. I agree there. There's only certain wrestling I can stand to watch. I know what I do about WWE because I read about here & in magazines & I'm quite glad that I haven't watched it for the last year or so. A couple of things caught my interest. Edge's first title reign, the return of Finlay, but mostly I found the shows dull.

I used to like the X-Division before it became a joke. So, nothing now? Then why watch? Why even talk about it? Like another poster said, I watch it because it's wrestling. I like wrestling. Always have. I might not like everything about the show, but I watch it because it's wrestling. Same reason I watch WWE.

The Impact Zone crowd reminds me of an audience from an infomercial at times. A little too excited to be there. Complete with Know-it-all pbp Tenay, and oblivious over excited guy Don West

On the subject of Impact Zone fans, I really don't dig them much, either; it annoys me that they seem to have a hard time actually watching mat-based matches, must be "too slow" for some of them, I don't know. Regardless, that's obnoxious.

I love that people are basically complaining here about fans being TOO into the show their watching.

Too much of a good thing I guess I like Japanese fans myself, the just sit there quietly until someone does a move, then they politely clap

Yeah, because watching wrestling is EXACTLY the same as eating filthy or uncooked meat. Analogies are only good when they are clever and make sense. I enjoy wrestling, so I watch it. I don't get why you have to love every single friggen second of a show to justify watching it. I personally can't watch wrestling with a big shit eating grin on my face for 2 hours and enjoy every second of it, wish I could but it ain't gonna happen. However I enjoy wrestling enough that even the crappiest wrestling related program is something I will watch.

My problem is not at all that they enjoy the show. Hell, I enjoy myself to no end at a wrestling show. I've had batteries thrown at me(for accusing Edge of wearing a thong made of twizzlers), been escorted out of indy shows by security, called Lillian Garcia a singing horse in the middle of the National Anthem, i've had my fun. I got no problem with that. They just seem to be trying so damn hard to be uber smarks. And they have the lamest chants in the history of chanting.

Wrestling = Hamburgers bad wrestling = bad hamburgers Oh my gawd, that's SO confusing!And I'm not saying you have to enjoy every aspect of wrestling, but when you can't name anything you like about the product (I'm not using "you" to mean you specifically), then what's the point?

TNA and Smackdown both bore me to tears for the most part, but I'll still watch it regularly because there are a few things I do enjoy. The stuff I don't enjoy doesn't bother me enough to chance on missing something good. It's wrestling. Who gives a s*** if there is a dumb segment or two. I'm rather see something dumb than something boring.

Wrestling that gets on TV would have to be pretty bad for me not to find it at least partially entertaining. A better metaphor is a backyard burger or a steakhouse burger versus McDonalds. I love the burgers I can whip up in my backyard, and I love $20 gourmet burgers in steakhouses (when someone else picks up the check ). But I like McDonalds too, and I know it is far from the best when it comes to burgers. But I eat at McDonalds plenty often all the same.

It's not confusing. Just not witty or humorous. It makes no sense because the only ill affects you can get from watching crappy wrestling are boredom, which could lead to a chronic whacking problem(trust me I know) while eating filthy or uncooked meat leads to all sorts of terrible gastro-intestinal issues. And I understand your point, but I think you need to take the people you are referring to with a grain of salt. They are watching the show, so clearly there is some aspect which they like, even if they can't(or won't for the sake of being douchy)say what that aspect is. And say, just for arguments sake that maybe they are just watching to complain about it, well they have sad little lives and should be pitied.
