Blue Meanie on Why He Doesn’t Care for Wrestling Tribalism

– During a recent edition of Busted Open Radio, former WWE and ECW talent Blue Meanie discussed the issue of tribalism among wrestling fans. Below are some highlights (via WrestlingInc.com):

Blue Meanie on prow restling tribalism: “I watched everything [when I was growing up]. … That’s why I don’t get wrestling tribalism today. Pro wrestling is pro wrestling. Like it all because either way, people who don’t like pro wrestling are making fun of the people who do no matter what they like, so we should just all band together and like all pro wrestling.”

Blue Meanie on why fans do it: “Like, if you don’t agree with my opinion, then you’re an idiot and then you shouldn’t be able to watch wrestling ever again. And I don’t want to blame anybody, but there’s a point in my life where I went from being just a pure wrestling fan to discovering the wrestling newsletters. … I don’t see the benefit of tearing down pro wrestling. If you don’t like it, don’t watch it. Like the thing you do like but don’t take away somebody else’s enjoyment because they like a certain thing.”
