Something that pisses me off
Tuesday, October 3rd, 2006“You watch WWF wrestling? You do realise it’s fake, right?”
Oh no, my world is crumbling around me. All that I held true and dear is a fraud!
But seriously…
I really can’t stand the condescending stock response that certain people have when they discover that I enjoy watching wrestling on TV. Do they actually think I believe it’s real? If someone tells you they watch Coronation Street, you wouldn’t say to them “You do realise that it’s fake, right? Yeah, filmed in Manchester. Just a TV show.” So, why is it acceptable to be such a prick about pro wrestling?
At this point someone launches the second stock response, which is “It’s just a load of greased-up men in their underwear. Are you gay?” or words to that effect. Yeah, I’m a raving homo. Just ask my fiancee.
Gah! I’ll stop ranting now as this really makes my blood boil. Makes me want to grab a steel chair and hit them over the head, such that they bleed everywhere. (Because, you know, all the blood in wrestling is fake. Blood capsules, yeah. And the chairs are made of rubber.)
