I was watching some old ECW matches the other day and it dawned on me that I have never once seen a female in the audience at the ECW Arena. So I have two questions: 1) Has a girl EVER attended an ECW event? and 2) Is there any other gathering in human history that has a worse male-to-female ratio than ECW in the 90's?
1. I don't have attendance records handy, but I'm gonna say no.
2. This blog?
At least the BoD has Princess.
ReplyDeleteCap Locks Man?....oh, you mean THEE Princess, thought you meant just a princess.
ReplyDeleteYeah but she's on staff, ECW had female 'talent' too
ReplyDeleteWatching some old ECW got me thinking about the mutants of the ECW Universe. These guys were hardcore wrestling nerds, which seems to be strictly a dude thing. Plus, most of the ECW roster were fugly, so there's nothing to draw the ladies in.
ReplyDeleteYeah there was one. Everyone remember that weird psycho guy who was an early ECW super fan? He had some chick with him in the front row usually. That's literally the only one I've ever seen there.And they were gone after the early years.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason pro wrestling isnt an art form appreciated by women. The wwes 36% female fan thing is complete bullshit but I take my cap off to them for getting as many female fans as they do.
I'd guess there aren't a lot of girls at heavy metal shows or in arcades. Obviously this blog is also 99.999% male but at least one of the writers is a female.
You won't find many if any smark girls but honestly you won't find many in depth female fans of anything. I don't any girls that are into say advanced sports stats or quoting classic film lines. Probably hard to invest much time into being a fan when you're so busy thinking the world revolves around you
ReplyDelete1. Plenty of women have attended ECW shows. It is very clear in every old ECW of female fans in attendance.
ReplyDelete2. Ring of Honor. 'Nuff said.
I was about to say; Serial Killer Guy( going by the naming tradition of ECW fans) is the only one I can remember seeing with a fucking special lady friend( tm The Dude) on a regular basis.
ReplyDeleteWhoa whoa whoa whoa WHOA! I am the chief Misogynist around here... I got something like 2 million down votes for it a couple of weeks ago.
ReplyDeleteSeriously though I agree with you, and would add that I honestly don't believe MOST of them have the mental capacity for anything that involved... I know we are supposed to pretend that everyone is equal... but they are what 52 - 53% of the world's population and still haven't even come close to being the decision makers? I don't know how else you explain it away...
I can't...off the top of my head, think of any girl in the world I've known who was a big fan of anything. I work with a girl from NY who acts like a big Yankee fan and after you get past the headline she runs out of steam quick for talking sports. My gf claims to be a big football fan and goes to the chargers games and she literally only knows the quarterbacks name. I don't know that I've ever seen a girl get a movie quote reference. Even with music or a movie they saw that convo isn't going very deep. Yeah my opinion on those is that its some combination of self absorbtion and stupidity. Hey ladies Theres room in your brain for more than just dick.
ReplyDeleteAre there girls at roh or any Indy shows. Tna always seems to have hot chicks in packs in their audiences (at least at the impact zone) but I was told they are actresses.
ReplyDeleteHonestly Mrs. Parallax1978 is way into sports, and wrestling, and movies/music... which I guess is how she landed me (that and the BEWBS) sadly it also comes with a good amount of crazy attached... and as I have stated she likes wrestling to the point of even burning me out on it at times (I mean she watches every show WWE puts on even shit like Afterburn or whatever it is called) but I guess there are worse problems you could have.
ReplyDeleteBubba Ray Dudley made special mention of some female fans in attendance in ECW once.
ReplyDeleteThat's a rare find. My gf is into clothes and gossip. She claims to like romantic comedies for example(yikes) but she, and her friends had never even heard of woody Allen, much less seen one of his movies.
ReplyDeleteShe's not my special lady, she's my fucking lady friend. I'm just helping her conceive, man.
ReplyDeleteAhhh the old "her mom taught her to suck cock promo" boy those Dudley's were good at getting cheap heat pre match
ReplyDeleteThere were women in attendance. I think one of the famous regulars was the women who became the ring of honors photographer. She was with ROH until 2008 I believe. She was at most arena shows, she was near the entrance at one of the poles. You can see her most of the time when wrestlers enter and stop before getting in the ring.
ReplyDeleteWell that's two so far we've come up with...
ReplyDeletea brother Sheamus?
ReplyDeleteare you implying that princess does not have 'talent'? because I'd have to disagree.
ReplyDeleteQuestion for the fellas: its your first rate, your choices are to bring her to 1)an ECW show in 1997 2) a sit on a BoD Monday night open thread 3)a tour of a maximum security prison...where you going?
ReplyDeleteThe prison. She'll really appreciate you more, assuming half your family isn't in there. ;)
ReplyDeleteWow.
ReplyDeleteIf dougies trolling, then you know I'm right
ReplyDeleteThere was a female in the front row of one of ecws last ppv. She was the basis of gertners opening spiel.
ReplyDeleteIf that helps you sleep alone at night.
ReplyDeleteECW show. Beer, blood and brawls in the crowd.
ReplyDeleteWhy cuz I'm always right?
ReplyDeleteThose are all just so rousing options.......
ReplyDeletedepends on the metal genre that you are talking about: black metal has a very different fan base than "traditional" metal.
ReplyDeletethat's one pretty stupid posting.
ReplyDeleteI went to N2R 99, and I swear there were all of 2 women in the entire crowd. No kids either, which was kind of weird, though probably for the best considering the majority of the crowd was hammered (myself included) and quite a few people were openly smoking weed right at their seats (again, myself included).
ReplyDeleteThis blog is the right answer for question #2. We have one chick, and she's fucking married.
There's plenty of women at ROH shows, though most of them look underage.
ReplyDeleteSure. Lets go with that.
ReplyDeleteIt can't be stupid if its factually correct. I don't know very many girls who are hardcore fans of anything. I'm not saying it bad I'm just saying its a fact.
ReplyDeleteSounds more like you don't know many girls period...
ReplyDeleteSounds like you don't know many girls, period....
ReplyDeleteWell, it's easier to get women into your crowd when you give away free tickets to people who visit the amusement park...
ReplyDeleteWhy not more females? I'm a little surprised there are not more female fans here. I've long considered this blog to include thoughtful, insightful, and well-educated opinions... wait, I think I just answered my own question.
ReplyDeleteoooh...Miz-like burn.
Also its a blog about wrestling
ReplyDeleteI went a few times and there was a girl in our group, so yeah, it happens. Was probably a 500-1 ratio, though. Anyways, Bob Ryder was always there before he went to work for WCW, so obviously the sausage ratio was high enough to bring someone in from halfway across the country.
ReplyDeleteThere are plenty of female fans. I've been teaching Grades 8-10 for about five years now, and you'd be surprised how many of the students who want to talk about wrestling in class are female (it's about a 50/50 split between boys and girls).
ReplyDeleteAnd the ex Mrs and the future Mrs both put up with my wrestling habit and eventually became big fans. And, yes, they read the blog once in a while.
Don't be fooled by my bad joke, it was more of a cut on Miz.
Home by myself...
ReplyDeleteA few things come to mind after reading your posts here: 1) TPrincess seems down
ReplyDeleteto earth and very cool -- I don't know if she's the only female fan on
the BOD but she brings a hell of a lot more to the table than any number of us manly men 2) You're not stating a fact; you are stating what you believe to be a truth (truths and facts are two different things) 3) I'm guessing some shit went way wrong with you and member or members the opposite sex in the recent past (either that or you're in my boat and you have a teenage daughter -- The world DOES revolve around her and I'm pretty much a necessary evil)...
I rarely bring anything to the table so I agree with #1, I feel safe in saying the smark world is women free so I'll disagree with #2.
ReplyDeleteAs far as #3 I'm just going off my gf, my sister and any number of my friends gfs or wives or even some female colleagues. If its not in their universe they don't care.
Bridges just kills every line of dialogue he's given in that movie; talk about an actor being perfect for a character.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry, I wasn't listening...
ReplyDeleteSounds like you don't care much about the things she is into, like clothes and gossip -- I know I could give a shit less about some of the things my wife is into -- But that's the beauty of it -- You really want your significant other into all of the shit that you're into? I sure as hell don't -- That's what I have my friends, fellow coaches, colleagues at work, etc. -- I got lucky in finding someone who isn't just like me; if she were we wouldn't have made it past a few conversations -- I love her but will never golf with her or be in a fantasy football league with her -- And she definitely has no interest in having me join her for a good portion of her various activities...
ReplyDeletePretty much hit the nail on the head...
ReplyDeleteI recently met a gorgeous girl who LOVES wrestling. Goes to live events, never misses a TV show and we even debated Darren Young's "push".
ReplyDeleteWish me luck!
Woody Allen movies are for fans of Woody Allen -- They are not popcorn flicks that our better halves generally tend to flock to -- It's contingent upon you to school her up; I'm guessing she'd enjoy some of his work -- Hell, my wife had never seen the original Star Wars trilogy before we got together -- We burned through them in one sitting; same with all of Christopher Guest's movies -- Sometimes the universes should collide -- She got me into Weeds and Lost...
ReplyDeleteWhen I was in school the few girls that liked wrestling were weird Marilyn Manson chicks. Nowadays I have trouble meeting anyone that admits to liking wrestling.
ReplyDeleteIn my 15 years or so of reading about wrestling on the internet I think I've come across a total of 3 women in the message boards and comment sections. I've found that most women that know anything about wrestling either A: Aren't really fans at all, they might watch it with their husband/BF/kids, but no way are they going out of their way to see it. Or B: They watch because they think one or more of the wrestlers are hot. There are some exceptions (like Princess), but it's a damn tiny minority. And that's not surprising, I mean, we're not talking about football or hockey (the amount and quality of the tail at Sabres games is just staggering. Good thing too, you need a distraction from the horseshit they put on the ice), we're talking about something that is pretty much exclusively marketed towards males, and often towards young males.
ReplyDeleteA good friend gave me some advice when I got together with a pretty awesome girl that I'm going to pass on to you (unsolicited as it is): This girl seems special, try not to fuck it up -- Of course, she was, and I did -- But you get the point...
ReplyDeleteHey Scott, whatever happened to Miss Galatea (sp?)
ReplyDeleteI guess I can get people not liking woody (especially here in cali where people tend to hold their nose to-nyc stuff) but to claim romcom as your ffavorite genre and not even know who he is seems sad. It wasbt just her too, it was her friends. And they are all around 26/27 or so.
ReplyDelete100% agree separate hobbies are a must
ReplyDeleteRoH shows have some girls--but they are almost always with a Boy-Friend
ReplyDeleteI don't know a single person IRL that likes wrestling. Not one. There's many that were into it during the Attitude Era and such, but once UFC came along, forget it. Either that or they just grew out of it, anytime someone learns I'm a fan their usual reaction is "And you're how old?"
ReplyDeleteDoes Green Lantern Fan's stopwatch count? He really knew how to tap that.
ReplyDeleteThen you don't know enough women--the most dedicated fans of things I know are women
ReplyDeletewtf is a 1st date?
ReplyDeletedoes she fuck on the first fate?
ReplyDeleteThing is though, they seem to grow out of it pretty soon after that. Most of the indy shows I go to have lots of girls in the crowd, almost a 50/50 split. Girls though, not women, because none of them will be over 18, and most will be in the 11-14 range. Anyone my age at one of those those shows is there with her son, bored out of her mind and playing with her phone the whole time.
ReplyDeleteI live in the San Joaquin Valley and it sounds like you're in the San Diego area -- Can't really blame girls in 20's for not relating to (or even really being familiar with Woody Allen) -- I would refrain from mentioning that he married his wife's much younger adopted daughter; not really a selling point...
ReplyDeleteWhere do you teach? If you don't mind me asking...
ReplyDeleteAnd she'll fall in love with you if half of hers is...
ReplyDeleteWhy wouldn't women want to part of the intellectually robust and emotionally complex discussions being held here on the BoD?
ReplyDeleteI'm perplexed!
And speaking of things most women aren't into -- Is anybody outside of Denver going to be worth a shit in the AFC West in your opinion? I have KC at 8-8 and the Chargers at 6-10 or maybe 7-9 with the Raidtards coming in at 4-12, if that...
ReplyDeleteWith women around here, we won't be able to pee in the drinking fountains ... if we wanted to.
ReplyDeleteMy buddy unforgivably brought his girlfriend over to our friend's house for Summerslam, and snobbily asked "How can one wrestler actually be 'better' than another if it's all scripted?" My word-for-word response: "I don't know, if that's the case why hasn't Ashton Kutcher won an Oscar? Now shut the fuck up and give me back that Sierra Nevada if you don't like it."
ReplyDeleteSo...yeah. Even at the height of the Attitude Era, I didn't know many chick wrestling fans. My girlfriend is supportive of it- even bought me the "Respect the Beard" shirt as part of my birthday present a few weeks ago- but she doesn't even try, or pretend, to get it. She knows she's obviously welcome over on Monday nights like every other time (she stays at my place a majority of the week) but she also knows what'll be on TV on Monday, short of anything but an Illini basketball game, Bears MNF game, Bulls/Blackhawks playoff game or the fucking apocaplypse.
I've met a couple chicks that were really into auto racing, including one of the chicks I work with. And not just the "I wanna fuck Kasey Kahne" kind of fan, but these girls knew their shit. Gearhead chicks are the greatest.
ReplyDeleteIt has me vexed -- I used to give my wife shit for being on Facebook too much and she replied that at least she interacts with people she knows and doesn't waste her time talking to strangers about a non-competitive sport that she doesn't even really watch anymore -- So I responded by shutting up...
ReplyDeleteLike, you don't have any friends who like it, or you never meet anyone who does? Because I rarely meet anyone who likes it, though I unapologetically wear my Punk and Bryan shirts in my T-shirt rotation and occasionally will get a "Best in the world!" or "YES!" from a stranger.
ReplyDeleteStill have a solid group of friends that watch it, but not nearly as many as used to. I have a bunch of friends who are lapsed fans who still like it but don't keep up these days and will talk to me about it when they see me.
Nope. I have plenty of friends that used to like it, but I don't know a single person IRL that watches wrestling today. Well, one, but he moved to South Carolina and I haven't seen him in a couple years, and even he quit watching long ago, only to get back into it because his son became a fan. Even my brother, who used to watch when we were kids, hates it now and thinks I'm an idiot for still watching.
ReplyDeleteIf she does after subjecting her one of those three options you better wear a condom and make sure she doesn't know your real name or where you live -- Or marry her, either one...
ReplyDeleteHas their even been a 3-13 team that came in 2nd place? Cuz that might happen in the AFC west thisyear
ReplyDeleteOooof who brings a girl to a ppv. Its one thing if its your place and she's your girl but to bring her over to a ppv at someone else's house...smh your buddy definitely fucked up
ReplyDeleteFacts are provable. That was sexist nonsense. If you wanna be sexist, own it. I say all the time that one of my favorite things about working in the business I work in is having zero female superiors at all.
ReplyDeleteBut if you list things that are mostly dude stuff- "quotable" movies and sports are mostly dude things- then yes, you're gonna come up short on chicks who are hardcore into them.
My girlfriend is every bit as into our TV shows as I am (not all the same ones, but the ones we both watch: Breaking Bad, Mad Men, Office, Parks and Rec, etc.) and just as into most of her other interests as I am. I don't think she's an outlier in that regard, either.
:-) Yeah, that's possible -- As long as it's not the team out of Oakland -- 0-16 would suit me just fine for them...
ReplyDelete'So I responded by shutting her up'
ReplyDeletebetter
I meant to say girls in their 20's in California relating to Woody Allen and his NYC sensibility...
ReplyDeleteIts not fair because there is no where in life that I can talk wrestling. I know a few very casual fans and some guys that used to be fans, still respect the biz, but don't follow it. I can talk politics, sports, religion, porn, sex, music etc in real life but I don't know any smark fans outside of the net to talk wrestling with.
ReplyDeletePerhaps, my least favourite asshole, it is you who should be shutting up.
ReplyDeleteFor a virtual school in Oklahoma (kids from all over the state). Before that, out in rural Ohio
ReplyDeleteDude! -- Lower your voice, she might hear you -- You trying to get me in trouble?
ReplyDeleteWomen : we don't need their bathroom break matches, and we don't need their bathroom break comments, AM I RIGHT GUYS?
ReplyDeleteThere's always that guy in every group...
ReplyDeleteTrue, and even most of the boys. I had kid in my class three years ago that could not let a writing assignment go by without finding an excuse to put John Cena in it. Alas, he hasn't watched wrestling in over a year (my students tend to find me on facebook and message me after the school year is over).
ReplyDelete(nodding vigorously)
ReplyDeleteUp vote for the link...god I used to love the Dudley's working that crowd
ReplyDeleteOkay, this is getting a little too "Mr. Belding hanging out with the guys in Zack's room" for me.
ReplyDeleteInteresting -- My wife is a 5th grade teacher -- I'll have to ask her if the kids ever mention wrestling -- I have a good friend who just started working as a psychologist at a virtual academy here in Central CA -- It is nothing like he thought it was going to be -- I didn't even realize they existed -- I coach youth wrestling and football but usually don't listen in on the kids' conversations and we.. uh.. discourage chatter during practice...
ReplyDeleteIn other football related news, the Bills will be (at least as of now) starting an undrafted FA rookie at QB for game 1. Know when the last time that happened? Never, at least not in the modern draft era. And you know who they signed as the back-up (EJ Manuel just had knee surgery, and Kevin Klob got what may be a career ending concussion on the most benign play I've ever seen)? Matt fucking Leinart. He must feel like shit right now. I mean, yeah, he has a job until Manuel comes back in 2 or 3 weeks, but how shitty do you have be where he coach says "This guy won the Heisman and has loads of experience, but we're going with the guy that was undrafted and has played a total of about 30 minutes of pro football"? At least they didn't sign Vince Young... Oh, wait, that was last year.
ReplyDeleteThis made me laugh so hard. The bills qb situation is sooooo bad, and the fact that leinart can't start over that kid is mind blowing. In a world with mark sanchez in it how can you the be the biggest USC qb bust?
ReplyDeleteIt all just really helps at the grades I teach because the students are starting to get a little cynical and immersing themselves with drama. So, connecting on things revolving around pop culture (including wrestling) and even finding ways to put them in lessons helps student engagement. It's pretty awesome when it works.
ReplyDeleteMy sympathies to your wife, though. The worst teaching day of my life was when I subbed for 5th Grade. I was in Arnold mode from Kindergarten Cop in his "SHUT UUUUP" scene. I never had to yell that loud in class before or since. In my opinion, 5th and 6th grade teachers probably have the toughest jobs (students don't quite empathize as much as the older students, but they are smart enough to find many brilliant ways to cause trouble).
I know alot of female wrestling fans. During the Attitude era, even the hottest, most popular chicks at highschool were into the WWF. And one of my friends used to date this crackhead who moved down here from Philly, and she talked about going to ECW shows and hanging with New Jack afterwards.
ReplyDelete16-18 seems to be about the cutoff point. Hell, I missed pretty much all of 2001-2005 (I turned 18 in 2000), not because I didn't like what I was seeing (2000 WWF was the shit), but because I was more focused on other shit, mainly getting money and pussy. I guess I grew out of it too, then got nostalgic for it and became a fan again.
ReplyDeleteCome on man, friends don't let friends date crackheads...
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on the first part.
ReplyDeleteSame here. I can't think of anyone I know that I can talk about wrestling with, and I definitely can't say I've ever known anyone IRL that I would call a "smark". It's not called the INTERNET wrestling community for no reason.
ReplyDeleteShe enjoys 5th grade for the most part -- She said she won't ever go below 4th grade again though -- We were just talking about that and another friend that I coach with is a high school teacher (special ed) and he said his worst experience was subbing for a 2nd grade class for a few weeks when he started teaching -- He kind of shares your approach to engaging the kids -- He's also a wrestling fan -- I am back to coaching 7-8 year olds in full contact football because my youngest boy wanted to start playing (after coaching 9-10's for the last two years and 7-8's for a year before that) and I've never coached a softer bunch of kids; my kid included -- My older boy's group was not like that -- I've always been pretty confident in my abilities as a coach but not so much right now -- I couldn't handle having to teach them for six hours every day...
ReplyDeleteI said at the time that getting rid of Tavares(sp?) Jackson was a bad idea. And why the FUCK would you sign Kevin Klob? Oh, the fucking Arizona Cardinals decided this guy isn't good enough to play there, let's pick him up. Come to think of it, See also: Matt Leinart. No wonder they're the joke of the league. I was smart though, first game I ever watched was SBXXIV when I was 6 or so, and I've been a Niners fan ever since. Fuck the Bills.
ReplyDeleteThat sucks -- I have a few friends that I grew up with that were fans -- They don't regularly watch the current product though (neither do I, really) -- I'm the guy that buys all of the books and DVD's and shares among our circle -- My wife likes Ric Flair and actually cried when Eddie Guerrero died but she's definitely not a fan; she just humors me because she pretty much has to -- Lots of friends/acquaintances came in with Stone Cold and went out about the same time Stone Cold and The Rock did...
ReplyDelete...and then you run.
ReplyDelete"Lots of friends/acquaintances came in with Stone Cold and went out about the same time Stone Cold and The Rock did..."
ReplyDeleteThat's it right there for pretty much everyone I know that ever watched wrestling. Either that, or they watched Hogan in the 80's and quit after that, depending on how old they are.
you have a good friend, cuz you couldnt disrespect my chick in front of me.
ReplyDeleteyou are the new QoTD guy
ReplyDeleteI'm just a fuj lackey really.. but more to the point we need you to weigh in on the great miley Cyrus debate in the qotd thread; smash or pass, and did you like her pro drug super whorish performance.
ReplyDeleteyes there is...
ReplyDeletetheres room for balls
I say definite smash, plus she's got hof legs and is pop star fit (plus I'm pro her face). Also I dug the performance. Did she have a bad ass? Yes. But god bless her for trying to bring a twerkfest to an award show
ReplyDeleteIf girls aren't deep fans of anything please explain the popularity of Justin Beiber, OneDirection, Twilight Saga and the Hunger Games -- These things all suck but you cannot deny who the committed fanbase is so I'm thinking your assertions of factual correctness don't hold water...
ReplyDeleteYeah that sounds like a fight would have broken out.
ReplyDeleteTodd Marinovich might have something to say about this biggest USC quarterback bust stuff...
ReplyDeleteYes. Sex is definitely in play on that date if you can make it work. So which do you pick? Can't go live thread IMO because being on your laptop for a whole date can't make her feel like she's getting attention. ECW show sure is gonna make you look like a dork but Theres potential for a good time. I've gotta think all the weirdos (like the actual neck beard dudes) and the cutesy chants are going to combine with the fact its a wrestling show and kill your game. Guilty by association. Gotta go tour of a maximum security prison. Its unique, will lead to lots of conversation and maybe she'll think your catch in comparison to a crip or skinhead.
ReplyDeleteNiner fan eh? Good man -- Been a die hard since 1981 -- And they looked good yesterday...
ReplyDeleteWell he did get to start that one playoff game when jay schroder got hurt lol.Yeah he sucked but at least he has a better story than leinart while they've had equally putrid pro careers
ReplyDeleteI MEANT BY HIM TELLING HER THAT SHE WAS THE MOS BEAUTIFUL WOMAN IN THE WORLD AND SHE WAS SPEECHLESS AT HIS LOVE FOR HER
ReplyDeletenow dont you look stupid
With you there -- Sounds like some cool shit to say to an obnoxious girlfriend of a guy you don't really have much respect for; I'm guessing the guy must not be a good friend -- I wouldn't bring my wife to an all dude gathering (she wouldn't want to come anyway) but if for some reason I did and some some dude said that shit to her the ensuing conversation between us wouldn't be very comfortable...
ReplyDeleteTodd M. was the starting QB for a Raiders team that got to the AFC championship. Sure, Buffalo trounced them, but that automatically makes him a bigger star than Leinart. You are 100% correct.
ReplyDeleteYou can add 50 Shades of Grey. When that gets made into a movie, and it will, that will rack in the female $$.
ReplyDeleteDie hard since... 1988, I guess? Whenever SBXXIV was. And while people give me shit for liking teams from different cities (I'm from Buffalo and and I'm a huge Colorado Avalanche fan for some fucking odd reason...), at least I stick with them. The Niners were terrible during most of the 2000s, but I didn't give up on them. And the Avalanche suck right now, but I'm going to jump ship. Bandwagon fans can eat a dick.
ReplyDeleteI doubt you're missing much. You ever listen to a couple of random dicknecks doing a podcast about wrestling? It's excruciating. That's what you and some other person discussing wrestling would sound like and unless you lacked any sort of self-perspective, you'd notice it and actively be looking for something else to talk about before long.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what else fits into this category, but the smarky side of wrestling is just one of those things that is better discussed at arm's length through a keyboard.
I'm not sure why, but listening to two people who aren't in the business talk about how John Cena could totally kick Randy Orton's ass or how the Wyatt Family are so creepy is fine (assuming those people are 16 or younger). Listening to two adults who aren't in the business talk about how Daniel Bryan could have been put over stronger on that last Raw or how the WWE is really mishandling the push of the Shield makes you sound like the two dorkiest dorks that ever dorked.
You sound like an asshole, honestly. If she's not into it, just wave it off and go back to watching the PPV, but politely, not abrasively. It doesn't sound like she wanted to really discuss it any further anyway. Why be an asshole?
ReplyDeleteI love, love, LOVE it when internet wrestling guys talk about women. LOVE it. It's always a good time and it never disappoints.
ReplyDeleteThis guy gets it.
ReplyDeleteI should probably clarify here, I should have said that I've never been friends/acquaintances with anyone that I'd call a "smark" (I put it in quotes because I know people hate it, but I can't think of a better term that the moment). But I've ran into people like that at indy shows, and even WWE shows, and they're the fucking worst. They always like to pick on the kids too, like, they'll see an 8 year old kid with a Cena shirt on and go on a rant about shitty booking and jobbing and all the other shit you shouldn't be telling a kid that still thinks it's real. It's like just randomly telling a 4 year old on Christmas that Santa isn't real either. Though I will say there's a guy like that's always at the ESW shows that can do a dead on impression of damn near every wrestler ever. Guy is hilarious, especially when he does Scott Hall.
ReplyDeleteScott loves it too, I'm sure, this thread is getting a lot of hits.
ReplyDeleteYou won't find me talking any shit on the 50 Shades books -- I won't read them but I definitely was the beneficiary of my wife's interest in them and I encourage her to read any other books in the same category...
ReplyDeleteThing is, they're going to forget about stuff like that within a year or two. I'm not taking sides here, but you're kind of proving his point with your comment.
ReplyDeleteThe same one who wrote for Bryan Alvarez? I wondered the same thing.
ReplyDeleteAnd now I am thinking of JBL's reply to the "you suck dick" chant at ONS.
ReplyDeleteA maximum security prison, because she can't be raped in there.
ReplyDeleteMaybe what female BoDer's we do have just don't want to admit that they're female.
ReplyDeleteWoah disqus made me think you were fuj...
ReplyDeleteUh no I was implying ECW females didn't have talent
ReplyDeleteMISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
ReplyDeleteIf you you look ever so slightly to the right of your screen.
Consider yourself "ribbed"
Go bears
ReplyDeletePossibly -- No real sides to be taken here -- Kind of depends on what your criteria for fandom is -- We certainly aren't doing anything to advance relations between the sexes on this subject though :-)
ReplyDeleteShe was being obnoxious herself, how do you think she'd feel if you sat down during some romcom and pointed out how stupid you thought it was?
ReplyDeleteI think so -- I remember her from the Wrestleline days...
ReplyDeleteC'mon bro that's racist. ;)
ReplyDeleteYeah, can't really argue that -- But he was a Raider and I don't like the Raiders so he loses some points (fair and balanced, that's me)...
ReplyDeleteIf you were fan through the Alex smith era your allowed to call yourself a die hard 49er fan. Because that was football death
ReplyDeleteYeah, I noticed your disdain of Smith in a previous thread -- I personally like the dude but a lot of fellow Niner fan friends of mine don't -- Why don't you like him?
ReplyDeleteGod, that was terrible. I don't have the same hatred of him as you do, but that period was just embarrassing. What was it, 6 OCs in 7 years?
ReplyDeleteEh, women tend to do better in schools, so they have a different kind of intelligence. Less focused on intense nerdy activities and statting- they focus more on asinine things like fanfiction, "shipping" characters together and drawing shitty fan-art.
ReplyDeleteGirls are more transient with their fanbases, sure- male nerds kind of go through a bit of that, but you'll find people who have been wrestling fans for like 20 years pretty regularly compared to girls who watched one kind of thing for years.
ReplyDeleteI think the one girl who was a Spike Dudley supporter (Mike Awesome beat the shit out of her on one show) was a legit fan- the boys respected her because she took a HUGELY stiff shot after demanding that Awesome not softball it in or anything. She was about as attractive as your usual ECW fan.
ReplyDeleteShe asked a question about something she was unfamiliar with. A simple and obvious question, but a question. He became defensive, aggressive and escalated the situation needlessly.
ReplyDeleteand what's you problem again?
ReplyDeleteThat's uh, like, your opinion, man.
ReplyDeleteHahaha. These are both great questions
