Pretty simple topic. My mom hates it, she cant watch it (but can take me to shows, as she never wtahces but finds someone to talk to). On ther other hand my dad is so-so. He doesnt like it, but when im at his house on a friday he'll sit and watch a little of smackdown with me. And if i bring one of my dvds, he'll watch a little. And will also bring me to shows (hes the one who took me to 5/12).

What about your parents? Or Friends?

My mom tolerates it,While my Dad is more of a casual fan.Most of my friends are wrestling fans as well. So basically most of the people in my life like wrestling.

My dad watches WWE and TNA with me, and has probably been a fan since he was like 10. But he doesn't like ROH. He's more into the entertainment aspect. He likes the divas a lot. My mom just doesn't really care. I show her a few things every now and then, and she gets all grossed out (ie. Joey Mercury at Armageddon). Some of my friends like it as well, but my best friends think it's all fake and stuff. But they really don't know what they're talking about.

A couple of years ago, when I couldn't get around because unfortunately, I didn't have the transportation capabilities and privileges, my parents absolutely hated it. My mom constantly asks me why it's so entertaining to watch "hillbillies" be gay with one another. On the other hand, my dad can at least tolerate it sometimes. He actually took myself and my younger brother to the Allstate Arena in Chicago to go see the Raw before WM23 this year, quite fun. His favorites are the classic WWF/WCW guys like Flair/Rock/Hogan/Austin/Vince McMahon, everybody else he hates.

Now'a'days, it really doesn't matter what they think. Now that I've had my license and a car for a substantial amount of time, I just drive wherever I want to go see IWA-MS, ROH, Shimmer, WWE, etc,. They don't seem to have a problem with it, even if they did, who cares, it's my car and money, I can spend it as I chose.

My parents both hate that I watch wrestling. My dad thinks it's stupid, even though he used to watch it as a kid but I guess he just grew out of it. I'm also the only one out of my friends who watches, none of them like it either.

My Ma really doesn't care, but I think my dad is secretly a closet wrestling fan. We were watching an IWA-MS dvd and he said "A lot better than vince's gay crap." I'm not saying anything besides...he might be a wrestling fan deep down in his heart of hearts. Maybe.

My mom tolerates it. My dad does too, but he would never admit it. I remember when I was younger and wanted to go to Summerslam and my dad asked me what the point was of paying to "see a bunch of fakes sweat". He then bought me tickets :D

Mother- She used to like WCW back in the late 90's and early 2000's during the Arquette era. Doesn't really care for it anymore, even though she sometimes sees the commercials and wonders what happened.

Father- Watches WWE and TNA faithfully with me every time that it is on. Is a big fan of the wrestling aspect of the show.

Brother- Could care less, even though he sometimes watches it when he has nothing else to do.

My Mom tolerates it. She'll watch it with me when I watch it in the living room. And now she even knows some of the wrestlers. She loves Ric Flair for the obvious reason. Shes in awe that he wrestled back when she was young and hes still wrestling. My dad loves wrestling. He got me into it since I was like 2-3. Even when I went through spurts of not watching it at all he still did. Now he watches every Impact and Smackdown and a little ECW and Raw but he says there on too late for him. He ll watch a match or two on an ROH DVD also. He absolutely loves it and asks me every day if something big happened in the wrestling world. The rest of my family makes fun of me for the obvious reasons(Fake, childish, etc). And as far as friends go I have like 4 who watch it and love it but the rest of my friends tolerate it because I like it and Im the sweetest and they wouldnt dare make fun of it when Im around.

Me and my dad watch wrestling occasinally, and he tags along with us to go to some of the IWA shows. I guess it is a way for us to spend time together in our busy schedules. My mom just stays clear of wrestling stuff.
