I did as a kid.

Your second question is still answered by my first answer. To market him to kids. Kids don't understand cocky superstars and they certainly won't back them.

:

Are kids really that childish these days? I mean, I grew up watching Stone Cold and The Rock, which weren't really kid friendly, and I was like 8-10. What the hell happened? :O

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

I think kids will cheer for whoever you push. Give a good guy a bad guy to beat up, and they'll cheer for him. Kids are dumb

Meanwhile, my little bro's favorite is Y2J, followed by Miz and Barrett rofl.

And no, he isn't part of the IWC, he can't even read :3

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

That's awesome. How old is he?

 

[Crayo]

My 9 year old brother is a Miz mark, a Big Show mark (he has several bruises because of this), a Cena mark, a Lesnar mark and a Jericho mark. He despises Rock.

 

[leojay]

8. He isn't a normal kid wrestling fan, he follows it religiously. Since like 4. Probably watched every Royal Rumble 10-15 times over. Not an overstatement either, he's named every participant one after the other in the matches before >.<

Spoiler

Still a Cena fan though

Haha, that's pretty sweet. My bro likes Show aswell, it's sad isn't it?

 

[Rysenberg]

When I was younger I used to lean towards the bigger guys: Triple H, Lesnar, Batista etc. Absolutely loved Eddie though, his gimmick and the way he played it was just sublime.

In addition to this I hated Mysterio and Cena and loved Mr.Kennedy as a heel #YoungSmark

I think it could be worth taking them to the doctors. No person - no matter what age they are - should like the Big Show, that's just not natural.

That's sweet. I was the same way as a kid. Does he still think kayfabe is the gospel or does he have some idea of how things work? I remember my Aunt trying to ruin wrestling for me as a kid telling me it was fake and her boyfriend was always like 'no way man, it's real'

good times

I grew up watching Rocky, Stone Cold, Taker and HBK (four favs). I stopped watching when Lesnar left pretty much, been back since around MITB (got completely back into wrestling though because of this forum actually, thanks @[Crayo]!). I've always been in touch with wrestling though, as my bro's been a fan since 4 lol.

And yeah, despise my brother for liking Show He was a big fan of Rhodes before this feud aswell >.<

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

I was a huge Sting fan when I was 4 or 5, and transitioned into a Kevin Nash fan when he started the wolfpack. Then when I was 7 or 8 I dropped WCW for WWF and started marking a ton for Rock. My Dad's favorite was Val Venis and I for the life of me couldn't figure out why he thought he was so funny :silva:

My brother is autistic, so it's a lot harder to tell him how things work. He wouldn't be able to comprehend it just yet. Going to have to tell him one day though

What?!? Let him think it's real forever! I wish I had the same luxury. You will never like wrestling as much once you find out what kayfabe is

Yeah, we were all proper wrestling kids, not bandwagoners like they are nowadays.

Totally this, loved it so much when it was real to me dammit!

Haha, I would, but he's intent on actually being a wrestler. His dream to work in WWE some day, so eventually I'll have to break the news to him, but I have to do in a way where it doesn't crush all his dreams. Autism is hard to deal with
