What makes a true wrestling fan?

["IcePic" Rick Cobos]

In all seriousness, taking a break away from my imitations of pathetic point-the-blame-at-everyone-else jackasses, what type of criteria do you think closely makes up a true fan of professional wrestling?

The question is NOT:

What criteria does NOT make someone a true fan?

Remember that the question is:

What critertia MAKES someone a true fan?

[nisi]

Do we need criteria? Wrestling is a "popular" entertainment that has lost a lot of its popularity--I'm kind of glad for any fans the business can get nowadays, even the casual ones. Go to house shows, go to your local indy, "raise the tone" of pro wrestling a bit, and I will call you a true blue fan.

[Lenny: Smooth like Keith Stone]

The fact that I watched Raw last week, yet still intend to watch it next week, makes me a loyal devoted fan who is holding on through the bad times waiting for the good times to come back.

I don't think there is such a thing as a "true" fan. There are no objective standards to judge wrestling fandom by. The whole thing is subjective.

Yep, same here. I"ve been watching wrestling since I was 5 and I cant let one crappy segment turn it off for me completly. When you're a true fan sometimes you have to take the good (1996-2001) with the bad (2002-present).
