Why are some fans so hostile towards wrestlers who make certain career choices ?

[jminter2698]

Guys like The Rock or John Cena who go from the WWE to Hollywood or people like Brock Lesnar who went from.wrestling to MMA, CM Punk doing the same thing, or more recently Ronda Rousey who did the opposite ? Or wrestlers who don't want to return are always asked to come back to "bring back the old days" etc. Whatever the case may be, it isn't up to the fans to decide what's best for them. I get that you're fans (some of you aren't wrestling fans and prefer MMA or the movies) and that's fine but these people should be free to make their own choices. There's no rule that says they're not allowed to do things outside of wrestling or MMA, unless it's in their contract. If they choose to stay or go, then you can't take it personally. You'll have to accept it or just move on with your own life, not somebody else's.

What in the fuck are you talking about?

You know exactly what the fuck I'm talking about, those selfish entitled ungrateful spoiled fans who think they have to right to tell grown ass men and women what to do.

I see it as more of a compliment rather than telling them what to do. If, for example, people want Cena to be full time, that's a compliment to his ability as a draw and means that people wouldn't be happy if he wasn't there for them. It's not that they're entitled or demand anything, it's just that despite always begging for change, wrestling fans always have a hard time with it. That's also why the "good old days" will never be topped, because most people hate change.

Then there are also the people who feel as if people like Cena or Rock "betrayed" the wrestling business by slowly fading away from it, even though they're doing the company a huge favor by shining a big spotlight towards the amazing talent coming out of the E. It's once again just people being bitter about change

I think its natural for any fans of any certain media to "Want" for certain "things"
like for example...

~ I "Want" the classic Sepultura line up to reunite...
~ I "Want" Guillermo Del Toro to make a film adaptation of "At The Mountains Of Madness"
~ I "Want" the Attack on Titan Manga to end before it gets "stupid"

but these are just "Wants" I have as a fan...and I do have a lot of "Wants" as
wrestling fan...

But...

As far as I'm concerned no wrestler "owes" me anything & they are free to go off
& explore their career options outside of wrestling without me being "entitled" or
"ungrateful"

Example: I honestly thought Tenille Dashwood would ditch wrestling & move into
modeling and/or acting once she was released from the WWE...and...thankfully
she didn't...but if she had she still would have had my full support.
