Why are you a wrestling fan?!?

[PWI guy]

If you're a wrestling fan, you've surely been asked the same question many times: "Why do you like that stuff?"

Want to contribute to a book that will answer that fundamental question? I'm a writer for Pro Wrestling Illustrated and I'm currently working on a book about wrestling fandom.

I want to know why you watch. Specifically, why did you start watching? When did you learn it's a "work," and that outcomes are predetermined? Why did you stick with it?

Please don't just say "it's a male soap opera." That's a tired old cliche. Examine what wrestling gives you that no other sports/entertainment does.

Post your replies on this forum, or email me at pro.wrestling.is.real@gmail.com

Cheers!

No one who posts here is a wrestling fan. Isn't it ironic?

It's like a chaaaaair shot, when you've already lost,
It's a last riiii-e-iiide, that doesn't get the pin,
It's a biiiig puuuuush, when you're Bobby Lashley,
And who would have thought....he's a niggeeeeer

I don't know why I am the fan of wrestling. I think I am watching it from the childhood and i like fighting. But truly wrestling is very entertaining.

[Super Crazy]

i don't get it....are all these new posters that can't seem to write a coherent sentences just spam bots?? Or are they all just fucking morons?

[jEHAD]

I think they are all Indians. The dot head kind, not the woop woop kind.

I am the fan of the wrestling just because of the one reason, and the reason is that it is really great source of the entertaining for us.
