Non-fans asking you wrestling questions Appreciation thread

[Berniewood Hogan]

Dude at work has been asking me about wrestling for a week straight.

"Dude, remember Mankind?"

"Hey, was Mick Foley Mankind?"

"Who was the guy with 'Well Dunn' on his tights?"



I've done explained the nWo storyline, the Ruthless Aggression era, selling, heat, and Eddie Guerrero's whole career to this guy.

I don’t think I’ve ever brought up wrestling talk with coworkers. I only discuss it if they bring it up. Even then it’s about the AE.

I don’t think I’ve ever brought up wrestling talk with coworkers.

I only bring it up when people specifically ask me what I'm into. "Hey, do you watch soccer?" "No, I only follow the fixed sports."

"........... Boxing?"

Sometimes there's an unappreciation aspect.

Had an old high school classmate ask me to explain Sonny Kiss

Man these convos be tripping me out.


Think we all have had the “I used to watch when so and so wrestled”

or “does so and so still wrestle?”

“What’s a so and so promotion?”

one time an older guy said to me "That stuff is fake now. Back when Bruno Sammartino was the champion, it was still real!"

Mankind ALWAYS comes up in conversation when talking with folk who haven't watched since the 90s

I only discuss wrasslin here....Seriously i dont know anybody that watches anymore....its like pokemon or some shyt, everybody has the "way back when i was into it" slightly mocking tone when it is brought up......personally i dont mind tho....its kinda shameful to still be watching this shyt honestly and it should be mocked lol...Especially with MMA showing you what a real fight looks like.....which is why you never see me stan for this circus ass shyt
