And that includes pretty much everything in the Green Lantern Fan "saga." ... the what now? Oh man, that is old school wrestling lore. I remember the ROH DVD cover someone made of him, it was great. From what I remember, he was a superfan that got too full of himself, and among other things would time matches and try to jump ahead of lines thinking he was a big deal.

That time when I thought it was a cool idea to make a school essay about "Journey Into Darkness: The Unauthorized History of Kane" in front of the whole class. Haha how did that go? Everyone laughed their asses off for a good 40 minutes while I tried to mumble and make sense of it all.

It's surprisingly less often the sexual stuff, within reason. Plenty of shows and movies have sexual content. Wrestling isn't an anomaly there, even if the move away from it being typical has been positive, and the amount of pressure women received to take part in it was, and has always been, unacceptable and exploitative. In this respect, it's, again, not really any different from any number of shows or movies.
It's usually more something fans do, like when you see the absolute weirdos and chuds on twitter harassing wrestlers or losing their mind at Sapp or Meltzer over the most deranged stuff. Not something like Meltzer's sometimes casual callous statements about wrestlers that can dip their toes into misogyny, but just stuff that demonstrates an alarming lack of reading comprehension.

When the Impact Zone crowd booed Christy Hemme for advocating for gender equality and cheered when the Voodoo Kin Mafia made misogynistic comments at her. Not to mention Kip James ripping off her suit. I mean, yes, I like seeing hot women in their underwear as much as the next guy, but that part made me all "how is this a face move?"

Most of everything mentioned before, plus some other stuff not mentioned yet: - Ultimate Warrior puking - early days of The Undertaker.. he's a legend now, but imagine if he flopped. He'd be categorized with TL Hopper - speaking of which, the entire WWF under/midcard in '94 and '95. - Undertaker locking the Ultimate Warrior in a coffin - The Dungeon of Doom in WCW

This thread seems to come up every couple of years, and I always lead with two words: Paul Bearer.
I'd say a good 70% of my lifetime personal embarrassment from wrestling was related to Zombie Taker and Todd Pettengill.

Remember when there was only one of these fans?

Austin Aries climbing on the turnbuckle and putting his crotch in Christy Hemme's face. So what actually happened here? I've heard of this incident but never actually seen it. MiLB Fan described the incident correctly, but just to be clear, it wasn't a work or cleared with Hemme in the slightest. It was on screen sexual harassment.

I've told this story before, but a gay acquaintance of mine threw a viewing party for the Billy and Chuck wedding episode. I was the only one at the party who was actually a wrestling fan. The rest of them were just exciting that there was going to be a gay wedding on television. I've never been more embarrassed to be a wrestling fan than that night. That sounds like a sitcom scene. Can’t imagine how it went lol youtu.be/_V2sBURgUBI

I just watched his interview with Chris Van Vilet and... Jesus. Dude absolutely refused to admit he did anything wrong and it's cringe as hell.

Well, Buff was technically running it, he just has a social media manager who would run everything by him before they posted it. There's plenty of videos Buff recorded confirming the account was his, it was just more of an Iron Sheik situation than we all anticipated, with an additional dash of scamming people out of money.

When the Impact Zone crowd booed Christy Hemme for advocating for gender equality and cheered when the Voodoo Kin Mafia made misogynistic comments at her. Reminds me of when Eric Young turned against Bobby Roode and Tracy Brooks. Roode was taken out and Eric Young was in the ring alone with Tracy ... Tenay and West yelling stuff like "GET HER ERIC! She's defenseless!" when Eric is supposed to be the GOOD GUY.
