There's fans like that on both sides of the fence and I can vouch for that. This guy sounds like a jackass but that tends to be the case with most "super fans", I even had to have a full blown argument with a HMV employee at one stage because he tried to refuse me service for a TNA DVD and kept insisting I should "re-evaluate myself as a fan" and to "think about picking up something by the WWE". I finally got served and out of there but yeeeah...
I myself am a bigger fan of TNA than I am of WWE but more power to anyone for liking what they like and I think it's extremely rude for anyone to try and bash people and chew people out for their particular fandom, however, as this guy at Wal-Mart and my guy at HMV go to show, there are lines that should not be crossed.

I think I'd get pretty close to telling someone like that to f*** off straight away Or punch them in the face

you should have told him to stand behind your car while you backed up.

I usually post up outside the Metropolitian Opera House and try to push 17 year old VHS tapes of AWF.

PRO TIP: Mocking someone's opinion because you find it to be ridiculous = ok. Mocking someone because you find their opinion to be ridiculous = not ok. K?

The best way to deal with annoying superfans is to to smile and keep walking. If I got time and willing to listen to their rants, I'll talk.

No need to dogpile on it, we just don't need to call people out, and the only reason I said something about it and did not just delete the post is because tons of people have called out SOR in TNA topics. I am not saying I agree with SOR's opinions all the time, or frankly much of the time, but calling out SOR and Mikey Cee every time someone makes fun of TNA isn't fair, either.

Being serious, a lot of you guys whined and complained about SOR and we did something about it. He's quite honestly been a better poster here yet some of you are unoriginal enough to pull that tired old chestnut out. The TNA section has improved lately. Learn some new jokes. That wasn't directed at you Bradley of course.

Somewhat Off-Topic, but how intolerable would these boards have been if they were around when WWF, WCW, and ECW were warring?
On topic: I'd talk to him for a while, I love tits and ass.

Man. I thought TNA pretty much took all the faith and love out of their fans for all their bad decisions, bad pay per views, bad booking etc. I mean, ECW for a long time still had loyalty but with Easy E trying to play a heel on twitter and insulting people, despite not being on television, to AJ Styles talking about how shitty the company is, to Dixie Carter saying her top babyface was mediocre, firing Jesse Sorenson, etc.
Like, recently WWE really f***ed the audience with Battleground. But for the most part, WWE does things to keep the crowd generally faithful in the product, where as TNA has kinda gained a reputation since around 2006 of letting their fans down, to the point where nobody buys their pay per views, their attendance is low, their ratings are the lowest they've been since going prime time, like, all the good will the company had before is pretty much gone. So seeing a TNA superfan is kinda weird. I mean, back in 2005, you could say that the best wrestlers come from here, or this is an alternative product, even with its faults. But no, there's just so much bad will, bad press, everything. WCW did this a lot too after the Finger Poke of Doom and many other f*** ups where they just shit all over the fans, and fans just stopped being interested.
In all honesty, I wish there were more super fans. Sure, this guy seemed annoying, and he's obviously delusional when it comes to his love for the product, especially with TNA doing really bad in 2013. If there were more of him, then you would know TNA was at least doing well.

Even more Off topic but pretty interesting thought- Would ECW of been big enough to have a separate forum from (W)rest?

Whoa, wait? Something was done about SOR?
Not to harp on it but that sort of sucks. I hope he's not gone. Dude was one of my favorite posters. We disagreed on like, everything but it was sort of nice to get someone with a totally different view on wrestling than me.
As for the ACTUAL topic: There's a guy who goes to the theater I go to for pay per views who's like this with ROH. I LIKE ROH and it's really annoying.
