That something as inherently ridiculous and trashy as wrestling should be analysed in such an obsessive and cynical manner. It's just a bit of fun! QFT. I think I may use this as my part of my sig if that's alright with you. Sure. I don't mind. It's not like I'm criticising all wrestling fans, because then I'd be having a go at myself, but some people just take the piss with it.

It's just that there are people who are so obsessed with it to the point where if a wrestler they hate does something they don't like, it's threads with "Hogan/Trips/Cena is a piece of crap" and such. All this energy over something that's predetermined seems ridiculous to me. It's one thing to dislike a wrestler as he's just not your favorite, but to go on and wish harm upon him is really low.

The hate of Vince Russo. I've never understood it.
Yeah, maybe his style of booking doesn't work in 2007. But back in 1997, his writing was one of the reasons the WWF survived (and eventually beat WCW).

It's all Vince's fault! It's Johnny Ace's Fault! It's all Stephanie's Fault! it's Russo's Fault! It's Triple H's Fault! It's the Women who watch wrestling's fault! It's the Mark's fault! It's Little Kids who watch wrestling's fault!
I love the IWC's way of blaming shit. if it isn't one thing, it's another, and will always bitch about it, yet, they never blame the one who is most responsible: themselves.
here's another good one:
WWE sucks, it has a horrible product and ROH is the best. Yet I still watch.
when I say I don't like something, I just leave with no protest. I did that in 2001 and never bitched or whined about it, even now, I'm not agreeing with things, but I can always turn off the TV till something DOES happend. Anyways, back to my point: if your just gonna bitch about the product, then why watch? or hell, make comments. Do you enjoy the sound of your voice or the the way you post your bitching? cry me a river.
(sighs) as you can see, I rather just make dumb comments and move on then bellyache and bitch about things.

If you don't like John Cena, Batista, Bobby Lashley etc. you're just a big nasty smark who hates everything and is too negative all the time. Apathy about a wrestler=obsessively posting about how "apathetic" you are towards them. That's not so apathetic to me

That's not so apathetic to me I don't think that's the problem about whether to like someone or not, it's when they start saying things like wishing injury on those wrestlers or that because Batista or Lashley suck in the ring, they must be bad people outside of it too.

We are all smarks. By virtue of reading or posting about wrestling on the internet, we are also all part of the IWC. Back on topic, one of my new favorites is judging wrestlers' personalities based on quotes that might have been fabricated for them by the company. Molly Holly says "there's no way I'd come back to WWE right now, maybe if they paid me a zillion dollars" and the response is: "What a stuck-up broad, I hate her!!!" Countless guys, who are supposedly jerks backstage, say one quote, and suddenly, they're instantly quality human beings who were never jerks at all.

If there's one thing I learned from this message board, it's that predetermined outcomes in a staged environment for the sole purpose of entertainment can, or will lead to hurt feelings and misdirected hostility for whatever reason that can justify the means.

This board takes wrestling WAY too seriously.

Paul London vs. William Regal would be a great main event for WrestleMania.

In fairness, I just went for the easy and quirky Dr. Evil/Number 2 conversation concerning the dissapointment of settling for Ron Bass when you want laser equipped CM Punk.

Chris Jericho should be champ. He should be main eventing all 3 shows. He should hold all the titles. Chris Jericho is GODZ!!!!
CM Punk is a future superstar.
Randy Orton is bland.
John Cena sucks.
Boddy Lashley sucks.
Batista is a jerk.
Triple H used to suck but now he's okay.
Vince McMahon is a genius.
Vince McMahon is a moron.
Vince McMahon is crazy and out of touch.
Hulk Hogan is evil.
IWC smarks know absolutely everything.
