Smarky wrestling fans annoying12/16/2023 Be prepared to have your friends roll their eyes at some of the stuff you’ve learned to either ignore or appreciate: the dramatic kick-outs at 2.99 seconds, the use of the Irish whip, referees being unaware of any sort of interference, wrestlers stopping mid-match because another wrestler’s music hits, etc. It’s pretty tough to get people to appreciate something that’s inherently ridiculous, and there are few forms of entertainment more ridiculous than professional wrestling. You’ll have to take off your smark hat for a bit, and you’ll have to endure a lot of foolish questions and snide remarks, but with enough time and effort you’ll see results. So if you’re an adult wrestling fan looking to introduce your friends to the joys of professional wrestling, here’s a guide on how to go about it without being obnoxious. It’s a delicate, slow process, one that demands patience on the part of the wrestling proselytizer, but the payoff is entirely worth it. This is not to say that it’s impossible to convert adults to wrestling fandom. Professional wrestling carries a lot of connotations, most of which are negative, and though the cultural tide is shifting a bit, as big-name media figures like Michelle Beadle and Bill Simmons continue to openly discuss their love of wrestling, the general attitude still leans toward the idea that liking wrestling as an adult is some sort of guilty pleasure, a lingering artifact from childhood. Most wrestling fandom is cemented in adolescence it’s rare for someone who didn’t grow up watching wrestling to come to it as an adult and find it anything besides ludicrous. One of the biggest challenges of being an adult who likes professional wrestling is finding new people to watch it with. Getting your friends to fall in love with professional wrestling can be a tough task.
