Yeah I said it. Pro wrestling fans are the best fans on this planet. I'm not talking about the people that know the basics of "Oh that punch looked like it hurt!" or "Oh John Cena? I know who that is!" No. I'm talking about the people that go crazy whenever Shane McMahon jumps off the Hell in a Cell structure... twice. I'm talking about the fans that go crazy every time a nostalgia act like the Dudley Boyz returns to action. I'm talking about the fans that can name all the signature maneuvers from every wrestler. But I"m getting ahead of myself. Let me explain why wrestlings fans are so great.
1. There's no hatred among us.
What do I mean by this? Well, look no further than fans of one sport for an example of hatred: college football. College football is awesome! But the fans can be a bit iffy at times. I mean I don't see any wrestling fans literally poisoning a tree to try and ruin a college football tradition. At most, we'll boo someone out of a venue. Wrestling fans aren't perfect by any means. Sometimes, we suck. If we don't like what's happening, we'll happily let the whole world know via the magic of live television. But hey. That just adds to our charm.
2. We are the most vocal fans.
As previously mentioned in the last point, if we don't like something, we'll happily let you all know. We're loud and we're proud in our love for this form of entertainment. We have the best chant ever and it's one word: "What?" Let me give you an example. Let's say that a wrestler is speaking in the ring. And we get really bored listening to the wrestler talk. Every time the wrestler pauses, we, the fans, scream at the top of our lungs "What?" "I'm taking the championship." "What?" "I'm gonna make you hurt!" "What?" And usually, we aren't satisfied until the wrestler acknowledges our chant in some way. Also, another favorite chant of mine is the infamous "You suck!" chant at Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle. The irony is that we're chanting "You suck!" at a freaking Olympic gold medalist. You can't do that in any other sport.
3. We are the most loyal fans.
In the pro wrestling world, there are loyal fans and then there are bandwagon fans. The bandwagon fans are only watching for the good stuff. They watch for the gold of wrestling. The loyal fans watch through everything. The good, the bad, and the ugly. Ultimately, enduring through the bad makes the good even better when it finally comes around.
So those are just a few reasons why wrestling fans are the greatest fans, and if you don't agree, I'll have my main dude Brock Lesnar give you one of these:
Happy viewing!
