Have you ever ended a friendship over wrestling opinions?

  3. Have you ever ended a friendship over wrestling opinions? (serious)
One of my friends is a huge Dolph Ziggler fan for some godforsaken reason. I wasn't happy when he told me but I accepted it as long as he kept it to himself and didn't talk about it ever.

Things almost came to a head in January when I had a few lads over for the Royal Rumble and he had a few beers too many and started cheering for Ziggler. Everyone looked at him in horror. I was able to smooth things over by telling everyone he was being ironic and no normal person would actually support a piece of shit like Dolph. Some were suspicious but they accepted it.

But now he's taken the nuclear option and bought himself a Dolph Ziggler t-shirt. He said he's tired of hiding his true self and he's going to wear it in public. I've told him to think about his reputation and more importantly my reputation. I can't have people thinking that I tolerate Dolph Ziggler fans because I don't. He said I'm being ridiculous but I don't think it's ridiculous to be upset that your friend cares more about a shitty t-shirt than your public image.

I've got two choices, end the friendship or have everyone think I'm sympathetic to Dolph Ziggler supporting degenerates and I only see one choice there. Does anyone have any advice to save this thirty year long friendship?

Ziggler is awesome. I know this is just a troll topic but if you can't handle your friends liking different wrestlers than you then you don't deserve friends.

It's not a "troll topic" that's why I put "(serious)" in the title. Learn to read!

And when you've done that, read the part where I tried to handle it for over 8 months. He's the one being unreasonable by threatening to wear the Ziggler shirt in public where it can damage my reputation.
Ziggler is my favorite wrestler ever. And I'm not kidding. Get the fuck over it. Guess you hate me too. Oh well. Shallow, tsk tsk.

No I don't hate you because if you embarrass yourself in public it's not going to damage my brand like it will when Percy does it.
What does his t-shirt have to do with your rep? I can't imagine your rep being very good in the first place.
I mean, I fucking hate Ziggler but even I wouldn't do something like that lol.

But... it could be worse TC.

He could start wearing a YOSHI-HASHI t-shirt.

If your reputation can be so easily ruined by another person wearing a wrestling shirt then maybe your reputation isn't that strong to begin with and you need to stick with all the other low-reputation people in the world, like your friends.

you should attack him and then not speak to him ever again

The first actually helpful post in this topic. If he wears it out in public, I'm thinking of rounding up a few of the lads and sending him a message.

Use your brain. If people see Percy in a Dolph Ziggler shirt knowing full well that he's my mate then they'll think that I've gone soft.

This is inexplicable proof that TC is actually a real human being with a real life. Wrestling can get pretty heated among friends, similar to college football. I don't think I ever lost a friend over it back in the day but I sure wanted to jackslap some of my friends and their crotchchops and their YOURZ RASSLINZ COPYIN MINEZ!!!!!!

If pro wrestling can get heated among friends then there are much bigger issues going on.

College football at least is legitimate competition whereas pro wrestling is just college football dropouts playing pro wrestler, play fighting in their underwear in a choreographed environment controlled by a 70+ year old man.

and people wonder why pro wrestling fans get made fun of in the real world.

Honestly drop the friend dude. Ziggler is a jobber and it seems like your friend must be a jobber too

They say you are a combination of the top 5 people you associate with.

You really wanna associate with a loser? It's the same damn thing.

You need to keep your pPo (Pat Punchard Order) strong if you wanna get over in the world.

Don't fuck your friends. But I suppose getting laid is a much better tradeoff for losing a friend than getting to wear a stupid fucking t-shirt
No because

A) I'm not a fucking idiot, neither are my friends (most of them anyway)
B) My friendships are bigger than wrestling

That's a perfect reasonable wrestler to support. I'm talking about a Dolph Ziggler fan.

Noon has passed and he hasn't replied so we have excommunicated him. Blocked and unfriended on Facebook/Twitter and the like. Disappointing end to a friendship but we did what had to be done.
I think you were too hasty in getting rid of him. As a close friend, you should have done more to cure him from this disease first. Go to therapy, hold an intervention, institutionalize him, anything to let him know that you cared.

Only if all that failed would dumping him be a fair option.

I wouldn't want to be seen in public with someone wearing a Dolph Ziggler t-shirt (or any other wrestling related t-shirt) either. If you don't want people to treat you like a man child, you have to dress like a respectable adult and that means no gaudy wrasslin apparel.

Even when I was a child, I would never do this.
Friends can disagree. In fact, agreeing on everything would be pretty goddamn boring. Some things though just aren't worth getting flustered about and wrestling (or any entertainment, for that matter) is one of them.

If you're ending relationships over wrestling opinion I think you need to prioritise your life a bit more.
