Some people been getting down on wrasslin' lately but I wanted to turn the discussion in a different direction.
Hey Wrasslegaf - what's your definition of the worst time of fan to be around when watching wrestling, live or at a home? It shouldn't need to be said, but no jabs at people in our community, please.
For me it'd have to be the ex-wrestler who wants to tell you exactly how bad every single move is that they did, or throws out "oooh, that's not good. he was supposed to catch him there..." about 30 times per match. It's insufferable and I can't take it anymore!
The BEST fan to be around is a mark who thinks everything is legit. I just love the enthusiasm, I really do, and it's infectious.
What about you?

People who wear wrestling shirts are the worst type to be around.

SES' potential was never realized, imho. It's a shame, it could have been a lot more fun. For what it's worth, when they WERE there, it was good. And Punk did legitimately save Gallows' career. He was fucking Festus for life.
Gallows lost so much weight in his time off, he looked like a monster(-in-waiting) when he was SES. Nice chokebomb too.
Edit:
And Serena was another missed opportunity - should have been in matches for a long time.

I'm glad that when I look at Gallows, I can't ever see Festus. They're two entirely different people as far as I am concerned.
Man some of my old friends were insufferable no matter what I was watching. Games, Movie, TV. It's like every single thing had to be Mystery Science Theater. So fucking annoying.

Praying for a return now.
Cool to see Martin Stone getting another shot.
Being stereotypical, but being sandwiched between large gentlemen, or having their seat in your knees, is the worst. Personality wise, I've never had a problem at a show with the exception of a few sexist dicks.
I'm wearing one in the office, right now. Come at me.

I guess I am fortunate in that out of my circle of friends, the ones that like wrestling are pretty chill.
There was one guy who we don't associate with any more, who was annoying about it though. He'd think that he was important because he knew all of the indy flippy wrestlers. He was also a Cena fan, but he's a Cena fan just to be a Cena fan due to the IWC hating him.

Jay Lethal continues to be pretty impressive in his current ROH run. I hope he's able to do something bigger than that soon.
The worst fans to be around are the ones who want to take the attention away from the show. Chants that have nothing to do with whats going on, explaining that its fake and this is how they do it, yelling random garbage at wrestlers trying to get a reaction.
The last one lead to an extremely funny incident in 2003/4 when Ric Flair was wrestling a match and a 300 pound woman yelled that "Ric Flair is the fattest man alive" next to her 400 pound boyfriend. The whole section turned and stared at her.

Who wants to see how this ends? Spoiler: Not very well.
Unrelated to Garbage stupidity. This is amazing.
Idiotic dive to take.
That picture is freaking great. Rusev looks like the gorilla we imagine him to be.
Sounds wicked. Lucky! This is on my bucket list.
Will this show be on NJPW World? Is it already? I'm on a Blackberry so can't check. And is the show done with commentary or in the house show style?

Its on NJPWorld right now and there is Japanese commentary.

I'm not familiar enough with CMLL to know how Horus is, assuming it's the same guy. (Horus was unmasked in November 2013, but it could be like Rey Mysterio, who kept his mask while working in the States even though he was unmasked in WCW.)
While the business does tend to prey on the weak, having credit is very helpful if you know how to manage it.
Most people (including myself) have to learn that the hard way and go in debt.
What about this?
On a side note, I'd actually like to know where this t-shirt is from.
Japan.
Except having good credit is great. If you can manage money properly, having the banks swoon over you is a nice problem to have.

Whats everyone's opinion on Pipper? I watched the documentary for the first time on the network last night. Really want to rewatch They Live again. Great movie.

most ppl here are not Piper fans but They Live is pretty dope
I stay out of credit card threads now. I'm against credit cards because the industry is a fucking predator. I had a friend that worked for a bank and they built a skyscraper downtown entirely off credit card fees. She had to quit because she felt it was too depressing to work in a business that depends on people being fucked over.
The industry wouldn't be around if everybody was able to avoid fees, that's for sure.
American Express is always to get me into fancy credit cards.
I have a Credit Card, but I'm in the minority on this side of the ocean.
Credit Card's are a very American thing, I'm not sure if you guys realise this, but most of the world operates almost fully on Debit Cards.
The whole Credit Rating system is weird too, you can loan money here just fine, your loans get registered so loan companies can see if you can pay for the loan your applying for or not. There's nothing to build up, just showing the bank what you earn, them checking what you owe elsewhere and then approving your loan or not.

I feel he was a great charismatic performer for his time. People hated the shit out of him. Those antics would never fly around today though.
I've had credit cards for many years and haven't paid a single penny the banks. Just pay them off every month and they'll fucking hate you for it.
I don't think I have ever paid interest on one.

One of my buddies was sent to Ireland for six months by his job. He said you had to carry cash around because people (ie girls) thought you were broke if you bought stuff with a card.

People HATED him. Such a great heel. I can't think of anyone now that could pull it off.
You can use a debit card like a credit card and it will improve your credit score like a credit card would. It's probably not equivalent in terms of benefiting your score, but it helps. (edit: This is apparently wrong, and I am apparently stupid)
I used a debit card pretty much exclusively for over a decade. The only reason I use a credit card now is for bonuses and because I read somewhere that it's harder to get your money back if there's fraudulent charges on a debit card vs a credit card. I don't know if it's true, but I do prefer the idea of someone stealing a number that only racks up charges on a bill as opposed to the one that leads directly to the repository where I keep a significant portion of my money.

Actually no, it doesn't. I used a bank debit card for years before getting into credit cards and my credit score was basically in the 500s, like I had no credit, even though I had a fully paid off student loan. Maybe a year or so after using credit cards and my credit score was up to the higher levels. I had to pull myself out of some debt with it, but not too much that it wasn't manageable on my own when I saw what I was doing. I'm all set when I want to buy a house now.

I almost never use my debit card. There is no reason unless you are pulling out money and you carry a lot more risk using it.
