Should I stop watching wrestling?

I have watched WWE since I was a kid. And it is meant for kids. My uncles make fun of me for watching it. They all watch UFC and boxing. I like UFC bot not boxing. None of my friends watch wrestling. I just think wrestling is for kids and I feel like a dork for watching it. What do you think, should I stop watching it?

    Dude... order UFC 100 next month and you'll forget all about wrestling. That being said, there's nothing wrong with loving something different from everyone else. My favorite sports are actually golf, MMA (UFC), and European Soccer. I freaking love Spanish Futbol (soccer) and I think I'm basically the only American who enjoys it.

    Excuse me, it is not just meant for kids, have you not taken note of the crowds at these events, man, there are movie stars, billionaires that go to these matches.

    So, whoever told you it's just for kids is very wrong.

    And why you should you stop watching it, if it is something you really like and enjoy, tell everyone else to take a flying leap.....it is your life not theirs.

    And by the way, there are tons of chicks that dig guys that into wrestling...so don't that stop you either

    Enjoy it and it should be your choice not someone else's choice...

    To heck with them, you decide, and stop watching it when you get tired of it........for kids only my foot. it's not the kids filling the arenas and paying big bucks for tickets..

    Tell your uncle's to fly away.LOL

    i became into 8 or 9yrs previous as quickly as I have been given tired of seeing an analogous ol tale lines. I bear in mind it as though it handed off the day till now on the instant: Undertaker had purely arrived to WWF, it became right into a saturday midafternoon (foggy outdoors) and that i think that it became into Undertaker's 1st or 2nd journey in professional Wrestling (1990 or ninety one). i'm able to nonetheless bear in mind to on the instant sitting and watching The Undertaker come out and questioning to myself: oh boy right here we pass with an analogous ol element, a extreme score wrestler is going to conquer the low score one lower back. i did no longer even watch the journey (i desperate to pass outdoors and play,) that became into the very final time I watched Wrestling up till the fall of (ninety seven) as quickly as I layed eyes upon Austin. I in no way considered a Wrestler together with his style of techniques-set & it had me hooked as quickly as extra till the spring of (ninety 8) whilst Steve gained against Shawn at try against Mania, then i finished watching it lower back because of the fact I felt like Steve Austin became into already too good to have the championship belt. (I felt like he became into plenty to conventional for it) then X %took Shawn Michael's place for a on an analogous time as, so those 2 incidents took out the buzz in professional wrestling for me. i might watch a pair of fits each and every now and then sparingly over the years, yet for the main section I purely could no longer guard the insufferable predictions. i'm strongly diggin Mr Kennedy, Randy Orton and part for now anyhow. Boogey guy has extremely caught my eye & interest yet i'm no longer diggin him on ECW or Fridaynight smackdown, i might extremely see him on WWE with the utmost score professional Wrestlers. (for now i do no longer dig TNA, ECW or Smackdown in any respect)

    You should know since then that Pro-Wrestling is Sports Entertainment rather than an actual sport, which is why your uncle makes fun of you for liking it compared to boxing and MMA. But these different kinds of sports have their own pros and cons in much the same way a scripted program is different from a reality TV show. While Boxing/MMA is indeed real, the sports are not as grand as the days of Mike Tyson and Royce Gracie. This is because a champion is determined entirely by skill, so there is nothing you can do about it if a champion is someone who is just unlikable by the crowd.

    Pro-Wrestling has a story and a set of characters. These characters tend to develop over time, thus increasing their likability by fans regardless if they are babyfaces or heels. If you watch Puroresu (Japanese Pro Wrestling), the wrestler's character, along with their incredible wrestling moves, adds a major boost to his popularity. Matches are pretty much choreographed, and a champion is usually given by someone who has the most attention by the audience and will be in the long run.

    I'm a full-grown adult and I still watch WWE and TNA, mainly because I'm into the stories of the characters and looking closely at the choreographs and how well they've done, rather than looking it as a sport seriously. So if you enjoy wrestling as it is, then keep watching it. Believe me, there are a lot of people like you who still watch Pro Wrestling even as adults.

    Ha, no one can really tell you to stop.

    Buuut personally I think the same way as them.

    wrestling is known to be "fake" and I personally dont know that.

    UFC, and Boxing is the way for me

    But if you want wrestling, then watch it.
