Paid Members tiger_rick Posted March 1, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted March 1, 2019 Came across this earlier while trying to see what was happening with this Dana Warrior story: While trying to recall it, I searched for "actual wrestling fans". God, that's a murky world. Don't worry though, I have some definitions: Love this. "actual attention" So. Are you an "actual wrestling fan"? I can't decide. I have been to an NXT show so I think that's a point towards but then I just like WWE and I've no problem with bra and panties matches so I think they might oik me out of the club for that.

Merzbow Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 I've been to a NOAH show and saw both Kobashi and Misawa multiple times so I think you'll find I'm more of an actual fan than those tryhards. (ignore that all this was in Coventry..) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricc1PW Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 I'm the same. I watch Raw and Smackdown, and the PPV's...and on the odd occasion i've watched NXT... and I also don't really have an issue with bra and panties matches, and I don't think Ronda's been a flop... I imagine I am most certainly not an actual wrestling fan, by that definition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiWri Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 I like WWE, New Japan and the indies. I like to shout "One fall!" but I don't like the "This is awesome!" or "You deserve it!" chants. I like flippy floppy high flying wrestlers but Bret Hart is my all-time favourite. I don't know who or what I am. I'm adrift in the world of being an actual wrestling fan.

Paid Members air_raid Posted March 1, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted March 1, 2019 I went to Tokyo "for New Year" just so I could go to Wrestle Kingdom so I must be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King Of Swing Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 That quote from Paige is embarrassing. Anyway I'll watch pretty much anything from WWE to DDT and anything in between. So yes I guess I'm a wrestling fan. If I wasn't I wouldn't still be hooked after almost 30 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dart Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Totally agree. But what it shows is the difference between a packed house for an NXT show(actual wrestling fans) and WWE fans. Â This prick does know that NXT is WWE doesn't he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TildeGuy~! Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 I spend most of my time on Stardom, New Japan and NXT now, I go to the odd Rev Pro show too if it’s local enough and the card is something I want to see.  I’ve got a front row seat to Wrestle Queendom 2 in June also. In regards to WWE I always keep up to date with it, read the results, watch anything that sounds interesting in highlight videos on YouTube and tend to watch the PPV’s live as I dont work on Mondays. I shook hands with Jushin Thunder Liger last year so I’m definitely a fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Houchen Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Up until 10 minutes ago I was an actual wrestling fan but now my neck is clean shaven and I've had a bath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Carbomb Posted March 1, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted March 1, 2019 I like things. Things which include wrestling. I'm a wrestling fan. Nothing anyone else says affects that, whether it's an indy smark or a WWE fanboy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted March 1, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted March 1, 2019 The notion that anyone can perceive Rousey as a flop is extraordinary. I'm not an actual wrestling fan, I'm a sports entertainment fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
