It PLAGUES wrestling fandom, and Im not immune to bouts of it myself, despite worldwide alternatives being more accessible than ever Even in wrestling I think it's more acceptable because at least with wrestling, you are often speaking about a business that puts a premium on fantasy booking. The whole business is about satisfying fans and create the matches they want to see. Wrestling from a booking standpoint doesn't attempt to tell a grander story or seek out certain truths, so if a discussion comes about talking about how the booking is poor in a company, it doesn't necessarily mean that the person watching is extremely disgruntled. It's a weird mix of a discussion of both fiction and reality that's been propelled by how WWE broke the kayfabe wall years ago. I don't disagree that it's important to find an alternative that would make you happier, just that wrestling is a very unusual situation in terms of mediums of fiction. --- "Reading would be your friend." ~Dave Meltzer ...
