Okay… have you ever heard of being the bigger person?

Sure, have you ever heard of being a killjoy?

I understand you have a sort of "not all men" thing going on in this thread because you're likely a fan of wrestling, but I don't care.

Maybe you and your friends love purely artisanal, organically grown, farm to table, backyard wrestling...but I've bumped into a metric shit ton of absolute douchenozzles that like mainstream wrestling (i.e. the WWE which is what is being discussed anyway) and I don't care about making fun of it or them for liking it a little.

It's possible to like something even if you know it sucks. I was a pretty big Coldplay fan for years...I still watch the NFL a bit despite it being basically eagle, beer, betting, army, trucks, Gillette (the best a man can get) for 3.5 hours interrupted by a few seconds of actual gameplay.

It's possible to see the bad sides of things you enjoy...it's actually healthy IMO.
