Ring Of Jankowski's Honor
Man I got really sad today, theres three people who watch ring of honor in my school Me and these two juniors. I was talking to him about the upcoming Philly show. My friends came around me and asked me why I was talking to this loser. My friend Alex who watches ROH (big nerd doesn't have many friends). And my friend said the cruelest thing to him, "he said you know why you watch wrestling because It something that you can hang out with and never be rejected by.

You subsited friends with wrestling because you can't make any friends. Most of the people who watch wrestling have no friends.


I thought about this, I defended my friend Alex telling my buddy to shut the fuck, your afraid to talk to girls, so that got the bad attention away from my friend Alex. But this made me think, most of the people I know that watching wrestling don't have any or little friends. I avoid telling people I watch wrestling at all costs I don't tell anyone. And when you go to the shows like WWE and ROH and you look at the adults who go and you think god look at this piece of trash I actually watch and enjoy something he supports. Then I look at the kids growing up who sometimes look at the wrestling fans who act and look like trash.

So it made me think do u think wrestling fans have little or no friends. I think if people know you watch wrestling and they don't follow it they probaly not be your friends with you. Or people watching wrestling because of their social outcast. I just think this be a interesting read for you guys.

I mean, it's definitely something interesting to think about, but it's never affected my relationship with anyone. I think it really helps that most of the people I know actually did watch it at one time, so they can relate to how addicting it is. But I do know a lot of people who watch wrestling today and do talk about it (mostly Sophomores), and it actually makes good conversation. It really depends on what kind of wrestling fan you are. I think if you're one of those that watch it, talk about it in school, but don't openly obsess about it (getting to the point where you talk about it every single damn second of the day), then it's good. But if you're one of those wrestling fans who literally live and breathe by every action, posters flooded on the walls, as Mick Foley says, "it probably means you're not dating much." But I don't really see people who watch wrestling and at the same time have no friends because of it.

I think much of it all comes down to peer pressure.

It's not "cool" to like wrestling right now. It was a few years ago, but it's not now. Since it's not the "cool thing" to do, people are going to be shunned for openly loving it. When it was "cool" back around 1999, there was no problem with it really.

It's simple peer pressure shit. No different than saying that fans of certain types of music or certain styles have "no friends", If wrestling was popular again, the argument that "wrestling fans have no friends" wouldn't even be coming up.

I don't like the fact I have to hide and avoid telling people Im a wrestling fan. I watch Raw, SD, ECW, and TNA. I go to ever Ring of Honor and WWE show when it comes to Philly. I post on here and Roh forums, and I watch a ROH dvd every day. I get frustated that something that I love so much and follow wrestling that I can't share my love for it with my fellow peers, because im scared they will not be my friends.

If they won't like you because you like wrestling then I have news for you, their not real friends.

If anyone you know would stop talking to you or being around you because you enjoy wrestling, then you're probably better off without them.

And, you never know, if you make it known you're a wrestling fan then you may wind up encouraging some of them to reveal they are too. Or you may even get new friends.

Basically, you have to make a choice. Would you rather live pretending to by someone else just so you have the acceptance of closed minded peers or would you prefer to be yourself and maybe get some real friends out it with the cost being losing fake friends?

Well the thing is wrestling is the second most important thing I want. Girls is what I want most. Ever since I started hanging out with these gutys more often girls talk to me more, girls are interested in hanging out with me girls are not embarassed to be seen with me anymore. So I don't risk losing my chace of getting girls.

Do you really cut yourself.

If watching wrestling causes no friends, why is still the most watched show on cable television.

Because people are afraid to say they like wrestling because it's not "cool" to. :wink:

If everyone was honest then there would probably be a suprising number of people that have full social lives that enjoy wrestling. You probably won't know how many unless/until wrestling gets popular like it was in the late 90s again.

It's simple peer pressure stuff. Everyone is afraid to step out of line for fear of being rejected by the pack. :shrug:

Several people in my grade know that I watch wrestling. I'm friendly with pretty much everyone, and that's how it's always been, for the most part. I try to avoid talking about it in school as much as I can, though.

I have friends and they know I like Wrestling, as well as several of the "popular" people watch it too, so I don't care what people think of me for it... I do have friends aswell.

Alright, seriously, stop turning the General Discussion into the Thunderdome.

But I agree with Kraul totally. There are so many people I personally know that maybe do not dedicatedly watch, but follow wrestling from time to time. And I'm talking about the "big" kids in school. They see and understand I watch wrestling, and talk to me about it, even though they don't do so much as mention it to anyone else. Of course, as I also said, I know people who openly talk about it to people who don't even watch. This one kid I know, although I don't think we've had conversation about it, always talks about Brock Lesnar (and actually kind of looks like him as well minus the muscles), mimicking the Brock Lock and all that stuff. Actually I think the only time we talked about it was when he asked me if Zach Gowen has ever beat The Big Show. I'm pretty sure he did, didn't he, with the help of Kurt Angle or something like that? Well that's what I told him anyway.

I'll admit that I don't have "friends" as it is, they're more like "acquaintances" I should say. I haven't had a real friend in years. So I don't hide that I watch wrestling. I've come to the point that I don't care what people think about me, life is too short for that, I just live it how I choose. Me watching wrestling has nothing to do with me having more or less friends.

I bet a lot of these people who say its not cool to watch it actually watch it themselves and search it on Youtube and through google at least once a week.

It's a fabulous new day, yes it is!
I sometimes talk about wrestling to some friends or acquaintances, but I try not to talk about it much. I know some people from a peruvian wrestling forum, but I don't talk to them much.

I have few real friends, most of the people I know I consider them as acquaitances really.

I think everyone more or less has a half handful of real friends. Me? I'd say I have about four. They all kow my position on wrestling (occasionally watch and i enjoy it) and they don't really care.

if they did i imagine i wouldn't talk to them or summat. :)
