Ok, so as this is my first blog, before going into my topic, I will be posting a blog once a week, biweekly, every couple of days or lets face it whenever I truly feel the urge. If you don't wish to read that is fine you don't have to, but if you do I'm sure you will find my blogs interesting and perhaps have similar feelings as myselff and may want to comment as such. That being said..on to topic of....the devoted fan facts.
Before i start ranting and raving about the devoted fan let's get a clear understanding of what devoted or devotion means, shall we? Let's shall...according to webster's online, devotion means and I paraphrase rather than directly quote here, the act of being ardently dedicated or loyal. Thus, let us delve into the devoted fan...and I'm not necessarily talking about just the devoted wwe fan here..let's just say the devoted (wrestling) fan.
The devoted fan...
never misses a wrestling event that they truly like whether it be on television or in person, if they can't watch it they tivo it, tape it, or threaten the life of anyone hogging the tv so they can watch it at some point.
dedicate their entire lives and spending accounts to collecting memorbilia of whomever their chosen wrestler/s may be and don't care if they don't have money for food the next day or charge up their credit card to max. capacity because "hey, we're all going to die someday anyway..might as well die with debt."
sticks by their wrestler/s of choice no matter what..even if they turn heel..even if they get suspended...even if they are seen wearing a barney t-shirt..it makes no difference because they are our chosen wrestler/s and we love them, dammit!
loves the heels as much as the faces because without them the faces would be boring and if your wrestler/s is already a heel then the feeling is vice versa or versa vice..whatever!
will stand in line 2 weeks for a major pay per view event no matter what the weather, no matter how much time they miss from work, just to get nose bleed tickets if that is all that is available once they finally get up to the box office since 20,000 other devoted fans had the same idea.
usually loves all wrestling even if it is their own children beating the **** out of each other...sometimes they will even instigate this if their children have been behaving particularly bad that day...
doesn't care if anyone else thinks that wrestling is dumb or silly because those morons don't know what they are missing anyway.
screams at their television set even though they know the matches are scripted and quite possibly have read all the spoilers...it doesn't matter..its wrestling and you are supposed to scream if you want to..that is the point.
owns several wrestling dvds and would play them on a constant loop if they truly were able to do so.
has bookmarked many of their favorite youtube wrestling matches on their computer at home, at work, and even on their ipod touch or iphone (if they are lucky enough to have one) and will watch such videos over and over and over again, then look for new ones to add.
has very strong feelings for their chosen wrestler/s, and will argue to the point of blacking out over them, but are willingly able to appreciate others opinions...as long as they aren't against their chosen one.
finally, will eat, sleep, and die watching wrestling...won't be here today and gone tomorrow,..won't be a fair weather fan..or think that wrestling is a flash in the pan..ever...
if you have any devoted fan facts of your own..i'd love to read them...take care and enjoy...liz
