I do enjoy wrestling more than video games, especially live. It is a treat around here as it is not exactly "wrestling central" in Arkansas. I grew up with my earliest memories being at wrestling events, in the crowd and behind the scenes, watching these super huge guys walk around, pose for pics, etc. I was like 4 to 6 years old around this time (1980 to 1982) the era of the body builder coming into wrestling.

This being the land of "if you don't hunt you suck" makes it even more interesting being a wrestling fan.

Hell, when I started Scenic 7 PR some of my first first clients were wrestlers and organizations that came through this area. I have made some long time friends from those days, even though some have moved onto bigger venues while others have left the business.

I take supporting things I like seriously and personally. I know it is part of being a fan but I just hate seeing others waste their time complaining about wrestling. Especially today. There are 10+ organizations that put on weekly shows on YouTube, some have hundreds of 1 to 2 hour shows in their history while others are just starting out. That is in addition to the near 15 hours of wrestling content on television each week (depending on what channels you have access to). Add in Hulu or the WWE Network to access non-televised events and you can easily push that to well over 20 hours a week of original content.

My point being if you are a fan of wrestling or looking to see what all the fuss is about, you have plenty of content to enjoy. Don't like what WWE is doing on Raw but still like their presentation? Check out Smackdown, Superstars, Main Event, or even NXT. Hate WWE and all it stands for? Check out Impact (free on Twitch, airs weekly on AXS TV) where it feels like WWE from the late 80's/early 90's. Prefer something bigger with more modern moves? Check out AEW on TNT. Want a smaller feel but some recognizable talent? Check out MLW or Booker T's Reality of Wrestling on YouTube. Prefer old school ECW style events? Tommy Dreamer keeps that dream alive with House of Hardcore.

There is simply too much content available for people to be this toxic over something they don't like. Plain and simple. It is not that the promotion they are watching sucks, it is because they suck. Don't like what you are watching then you are only wasting your own time supporting it and complaining online.

I understand fans like me are rarer today than they were back in the day and I am fine with that. I will continue to support what I like and check out new talent whenever possible. I am the same way with anything I am a fan of - I support it any way I can feasibly do.
