Wrestling is Fun is our name, a mission statement, and a goal all wrapped into one. People on the internet take wrestling way too seriously. I mean from the amateur Woodward and Bernstein’s with Twitter alerts on mid card talents to the sadly all to familiar screaming fanboys bemoaning the “push” of their favorite “worker”, the internet is not a place for people who think wrestling it fun.

So why not step back and enjoy wrestling for what it is?

Raw and Smackdown are television programs. I watch them as such. Sometimes it’s hate-watching for the shear hilarity. Sometimes, it’s appointment viewing, a drama performed by the best stunt men in the world. But every time, it’s because I love it. And you do too. That’s why you’re reading this.

A few years ago I wrote a silly little column called Alphabet Soup for PWTorch.com (go there! It’s still a class act of a site!) It was literally a silly column. When I decided to pitch something, my only goal was to write something I wanted to read, because I could not take another masturbation session in the guise of “fantasy booking” on some awful, unreadable website. And I certainly couldn’t take another long winding Tolstoy door stopper about how everyone in pro wrestling is stupid and has no idea what they’re doing…unless they make favorite wrestler X the champion. I wanted to read someone like me (excuse my Horowitz pat on the back here). Someone attached to the real world.

Look, I grew up with this too, ok? It’s not that I’m not passionate. My brother and I were The Rockers for Halloween in hand sewn costumes (thanks Mom!). I cried when Mick Foley got thrown off the cage. I’ve been to Raw. I’ve been to live events. I’ve literally tweeted “I love you” to Cody Rhodes.

I’m one of you.

But who are we?

We are people who believe wrestling is fun. It can still upset us, thrill us, and bring us to tears (sometimes all at once), but it shouldn’t ever stop being fun.
