Beckham's Right Foot Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 So the Mrs goes on this forum, NetMums, and a thread about the WWE appeared on the 'Most Discussed' list, which she thought I'd like to hear about. Â Surprisingly, it's almost totally positive, with most of them expressing how much they love WWE, and one loving TNA/WCW, and commenting on how much they love going to live events, and want to go to WrestleMania. Â Here's the thread... Anyway, my Mrs doesn't necessarily like wrestling, despises TNA (it's rubbish, an opinion I agree with), but will watch anything featuring guys she finds attractive. Â Does your Mrs like wrestling? Is she enthusiastic about it? Does she want to go to WrestleMania? Is she one of the women commenting on that thread?

Slapnut Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 My girlfriend bought me TNA tickets for Wembley for my birthday, and she said she'll come to Miami for Mania with me. Â She wears colourful t-shirts sometimes too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obama_316 Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Iv done a bit off arm wrestling my self. If you look carefully lady in blue is using the hook technique to gain an advantage. Personaly i prefer the high grip to gain the advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Deaq Posted April 24, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted April 24, 2011 My wife watches wrestling if I put it on but don't think she would pick to watch it if not no more, Any MMA she watches and she loves most combat sports that they show on Euro-sport, We have been to UFC 4 times and loads of other MMA and Kickboxing shows around the UK, her and her family have a strong back ground in kick-boxing so I guess its just in her blood.

King Pitcos Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 An odd comment in that thread: A close relative of mine used to wrestle professionally, but that was in the days of proper wrestling, not staged. Â Anyway, my girlfriend will tolerate wrestling occasionally. She comes to WWE shows when I go to them, but doesn't particularly enjoy them. She liked Triple H's work on the DX tour, and she likes when the baddies insult the locals. Apart from that, she's got pretty much no interest. I once caught her singing JeriShow's entrance music though. Oh, and she thinks Tough Enough is alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happ Hazzard Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I think not nearly enough attention is made towards attracting female fans, they could be as big a market as male fans if wrestling was promoted correctly. There's far too much misogyny in wrestling for that to be the case though, and it has to be said that ECW was pretty much the genesis of that. Vince Russo clearly has deep rooted issues with women if the stuff with the TNA knockouts is down to him. Â It was only 20 years ago that wrestling was being shown on a womens channel (Lifestyle) in this country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Aye, but on weekends. On weekends Lifestyle was more family than woman orientated. Showed stuff like Get Smart and the Rambo cartoon. Thinking back, there was a shitload of wrestling on Satellite telly 20 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobra_gordo Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 My Mrs isn't a wrestling fan at all but she does enjoy going to UK indy shows. She managed to surprise me the other day by actually knowing who Ric Flar was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sockospice Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I'm a girl who can't get her boyfriend interested in wrestling at all, so opposite problem for me. Took him to Universal Uproar years ago and try to get him to watch WWE but he just doesn't get the appeal. Fortunately he doesn't mind me going to shows on my own so that's what I do. Â Mind you, we're trying to decide on a honeymoon destination at the moment and I'm trying to persuade him that Miami next April would be a good choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took him to Universal Uproar years ago and try to get him to watch WWE but he just doesn't get the appeal. Fortunately he doesn't mind me going to shows on my own so that's what I do. Mind you, we're trying to decide on a honeymoon destination at the moment and I'm trying to persuade him that Miami next April would be a good choice  Every coin has a flipside.....And yes, Miami in April is a fantastic destination for a honeymoon. He can bugger off to Miami Beach, do the tours etc, and you can go and do WM.  On a slightly different tack, I have many female friends and have tried to gently persuade them into wrestling. One I remember, she came over on a Monday night and we were talking, Sky box turned to Raw and she was enthralled by it. She didn't become a fan, buit she didn't dismiss it either. Women I think understand the soap opera aspect better than male non-fans and are normally more accomodating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
