Stand Up For WWE: My reasons for being a WWE "mark."

For those who missed it early today Vince McMahon and the WWE posted a video which can be seen here asking the WWE Universe to Stand Up for WWE.

I completely agree with Vince McMahon here and what they are trying to do. The political race involving his wife shouldn't be focusing on her former company the WWE. Yet news networks and her opponent seem to think they should.

I thought I would take this time to post my thoughts on WWE and why I'm such a WWE mark as you would call me.

I first got into pro wrestling when I was two years old when my old babysitters son was very into it and he just got me hooked on it, from there it was all uphill. I loved how bigger then life pro wrestling seemed, all the stars with their awesome entrance music, and willingness to make the crowd "pop."

Hulk Hogan was my first childhood hero(but then again who didn't love hulk hogan?) Hogan was exactly what his nickname was immortal, he made you believe he could NEVER loose. Hogan was the perfect hero for young kids everywhere and he was one of the main reasons I started watching WWE.

I attended my first WWE event when I was 3 or 4? I remember my sister won tickets on the radio for me and we had floor seats, talk about a cool experience to be able to touch the wrestlers hands and cheer them on. I still have pictures from this event as a matter of fact. This was another moment when I fell in love with professional wrestling.

After Hogan had moved on to WCW I became a huge Bret Hart fan, he was just one of the best WWE champions the company ever had, never backed down from a challenge and always defended his title.

Throughout the years I would attend MANY wrestling events ranging from TV tapings to house shows and always have a blast at each one, There's nothing better then witnessing WWE,WCW, or even TNA LIVE! Now a days family's can bring their kids and make it one big family event, there's just nothing like being at a wrestling event live weather it be WWE,TNA, or an Independent show.

When I first got into WWE they were all bout the goofy gimmicks and big man, boy have times changed. I love the fact that it's not a big mans "sport" anymore. Now anyone doesn't matter what size you are can be a wrestler.

The WWE does more for their community/universe then just about any other organization out there. They're always granting wishes for kids through the make a wish foundation, they've gone over seas for a number of years now to do a tribute to our troops, they encourage young people to vote with the "smackdown your vote campaign", plus much more.

These are some of the reason why I'm a huge WWE mark and most likely always will be. I appuladed Eric Bischoff today for standing behind this campaign even though he is the "competition." I would like to see more wrestlers past and present along with fans join along and Stand up not only for WWE but for Professional Wrestling all together.
