It is always wonderful to be surprised by something in wrestling.MChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16984793682474594967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27176467.post-40104324998103588912009-06-10T23:00:26.982-04:002009-06-10T23:00:26.982-04:00LMAO! Douchebag immediately comes to mind when wat...LMAO! Douchebag immediately comes to mind when watching that video. And I like how he kept mention Phil Brooks (CM Punk's real name) to make himself sound like he's "in the know." <br /><br />Seriously, the kid doesn't even know what he's talking about. He may think that acting like a moron on a YouTube video makes him look cool or makes him look like a "hardcore" fan, but in reality, it just makes him look pathetic.<br /><br />The best part is I've been watching wrestling since before this kid was even a gleam in his mother's eye. But, as you said, jackasses such as him give the rest of us - the real fans - a bad name.<br /><br />Hardcore wrestling fan - No.<br />Stupid idiot that gives wrestling fans a bad name - Definitely.<br /><br />Oh, and on a side note, I couldn't be happier about Punk being the new World Champ. Too bad some idiots wouldn't recognize talent if it came up and smacked them in the face.Dalton J.

If you don't like something, you are not obligated to watch or participate in it. Seriously, it is as simple as that, but some people don't get it. <br /><br />Semaj: The funny thing is, I never think about that dude because he posted anonymously, and thus I could not establish any sort of track record. He was just some random person who decided to try to pick a fight with me over something we can both agree was trivial. <br /><br />Arjan: I haven't met someone like that in that community... granted I don't know many people in that community either, so I will take your word on that (and I have a feeling you have likely encountered more than one of them over the years).<br /><br />Razor: I don't have a problem with being passionate and getting into things, or even going a little off the rails once and a while. It was when I started watching his other videos that I noticed that guy was like that all the time... and not in a good spirited way. There was just so much negativity, it was off putting and reminded me of so many other people across a wide spectrum of cultural experiences.<br /><br />Part of me thinks because I am a reborn wrestling fan (I left the flock for over a decade, which included the entire Monday Night Wars and Attitude era) that may be part of the reason why I found his display so repellent.MChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16984793682474594967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27176467.post-57470657508909645362009-06-10T13:19:00.498-04:002009-06-10T13:19:00.498-04:00Agreed 100%

It doesn't make you a bigger fan, it makes you a jackass.<br /><br />I saw this video after the PPV and it was just as frightening as it was sad. Usually I don't like to make fun of kids who take their hobbies a little too seriously, but this kid was definitely old enough to know that he looks like a doofus. <br /><br />As you said, it doesn't do us wrestling fans any favors.Razorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06819287160357353795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27176467.post-28121076502353573162009-06-10T03:20:22.928-04:002009-06-10T03:20:22.928-04:00as a warhammer 40K player I'm unfortunately no...as a warhammer 40K player I'm unfortunately not strange to encountering 'extreme fanboys' (extreme!). Drooling and screaming in favour of what they want. Makes me sad, and unfortunately puts a big stamp on the hobby, as it does on all things spoiled by these kind of people.Arjanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07889112872843077825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27176467.post-76914978409250049742009-06-10T01:46:12.502-04:002009-06-10T01:46:12.502-04:00Man, that video is great.
You bring up some goo...Man, that video is great. <br /><br />You bring up some good points. I do that too from time to time, Getting worked up over fan stuff. <br /><br />But, this guy was a bit much. (But very entertaining)<br /><br />This post reminds me of that SW fan that attack you for no reason.Semajhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03654310724397596493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27176467.post-1735662806692609052009-06-09T20:38:18.848-04:002009-06-09T20:38:18.848-04:00I think I've mellowed over the years in gettin...I think I've mellowed over the years in getting worked up about this stuff. Things get put into perspective I guess and there is so much other stuff out there fighting for my attention that it's hard to be too upset (hysterical).<br /><br />I don't go to a lot of my old Star Trek fan sites because the people on those forums were hating on the new film before the first poster was released. It's all too negative.Leehttp://quityourdayjob.com.aunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27176467.post-85423268321947075282009-06-09T19:09:14.211-04:002009-06-09T19:09:14.211-04:00Excellent points, Matt.

I didn't even have to watch the video. <br /><br />I've had some crazy discussions over the years (Star Wars comes up most often in my circle) but it is amazing how extreme some folks can get, to the point of actually being REALLY ANGRY about it. Jeez. Go be angry about world hunger or something, dude. It's just a lightsaber color, for chrissakes.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09387041422819664987noreply@blogger.com
