Do you get so invested in a character you refuse to see their flaws?

[seabs]

Simple enough thread, inspired by Christian accusing Crayo of it over Ambrose, Lockard being accused of being a WWE mark by some and Testify's apparent TNA bias. Do you? And if so who is it who makes you that way?

Generally I'm pretty good for acknowledging when one of my favourites has a major flaw(s). Although, often if I support a guy who isn't so popular I perhaps overstate their abilities a little bit. I used to do a lot with Ziggler (before he became a smark favourite) and recently probably with Jay Bradley.

Nope, or because I'm so obsessed - :

But yeah seriously, no, and I haven't seen many on here that are. It is the opposite in fact. I have seen so many instances of needless criticism because it is against the norm. People want to hate on what is popular in the IWC because it's just that, popular. The IWC in general is a hub for obsessing over "underrated" or "underused" talent. Even the great Daniel Bryan went under a period of criticism - after he was pushed - for being "overrated". Now CM Punk gets that, and soon the Ambrose is overrated remarks will take over once he gets a push. Sure, the die-hard Punk marks like Randy himself make it seem like you can be obsessed to the point of not seeing their flaws, but we are lucky enough not to have too much of that around here.

I could see myself doing it for football though. I am such a huge Chicharito fan and any criticism he gets tends to make me mad, but because he's such an awesome person, he doesn't get much criticism. Thank God.

I openly point out the flaws of my favorites. lol CM Punk being my favorite of the "now" roster...

In character:
His crying gimmick got old fast.
He became stale in a short amount of time.
He was very repetitive and said the same thing week, after week, after week.
His matches even seamed a bit stale.
He doesn't need anymore shirts, k thanks Vince.
In real life:
He is the biggest hypocrite I have ever heard of.
He plays the "my daddy was an alcoholic" card to get sympathy & reason to be a dick to people. - mf'er so was my dad you don't see me crying over it!
He openly judges everyone, specially when he feels they disagree with them.
He pretty much feels his views, ways of life, & opinions are the only ones that matter & are the only right ones.
Dude can be a dick.

:woo1:

Nah bro, CM Punk is perfect and does nothing wrong ever. BITW.

 

[catlady]

I WILL SLAP YOU WITH A PANCAKE CRAYO! :mad2:

[Crayo]

How ironic.

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

Don't forget he constantly slams people on Twitter. :dawg: But that's part of his gimmick I s'pose so I guess it doesn't really count. It's just really funny to see fans/haters reactions whenever Punk does it. :haha: Either die-hard marks support him in being a dick or haters tweet him Blue obscenities. Lmao.

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

[Lady Deathbane]

But uhh, as far as just WWE characters go, I don't really support anyone blindly. I can admit to Shield's flaws, Punk's flaws, Bryan's flaws (if there are any), Emma's flaws, etc.

I think his own fans tweet him insults to get a response! lol I don't even follow him anymore. haha

Punk only responds to negative tweets unless it's about something he supports, lol.

Thanks for the s/o. Does Bobby Roode have any flaws? If not, then I'm good.
