I\u2019ve now been a fan almost 7 years and I will not stop. They have been through so much over these 17 years and have come out the other side stronger than ever. IMPACT Wrestling has said many times they\u2019re for the misfits, the people who couldn\u2019t find anywhere they belonged which is why I\u2019ll always be an IMPACT Diehard and loyalist because they have helped me through so many things in my life which is why I feel I have to defend them against the negativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Social media can have such a negative impact when used incorrectly but particularly when it come to the IWC as wrestling fans we should want nothing but success for any promotion who entertains us and allows us to enjoy our favourite wrestlers. Sadly, though there are some members of the IWC who won\u2019t allow that and says you should watch this company instead of that one, the beauty of wrestling is that there\u2019s something for everyone to enjoy. Haven\u2019t we had enough negativity from non-wrestling fans over the years without being negative towards each other?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There may be promotions or wrestlers you don\u2019t like, that\u2019s fine but there\u2019s someone out there who enjoys the thing you may not. Someone once said \u201cNo one hates wrestling more than the fans\u201d that shouldn\u2019t be the case. By all means speak up if you don\u2019t like something but to the point where you get blocked on social media? Then you\u2019ve gone too far. Wrestling should be about watching what you love, we all have our own stories of why we love Pro Wrestling but if you don\u2019t think someone should enjoy something because it\u2019s not for you that\u2019s not right. If you\u2019re just trying to recommend something tosomeone to give them another option than great but everyone can like something different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just because talent leave the company it does not mean that company are in any kind of trouble It either means the talent are unhappy with something or maybe they feel they have done everything they can as a valued member of that roster. That is fair enough and all we can do is wish them the best, talent will come and go but there are thousands of Independent wrestlers who dream of being signed to a big name brand who never get the opportunity however if someone leaves a company for whatever reason surely that gives hope to all of those unsigned talents out there that maybe it\u2019s your turn to show everyone what you can do. Even if you\u2019ve never heard of them just remember nobody had heard of Stone-Cold Steve Austin, Triple H and nobody thought Rocky Maivia would be the biggest movie star in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My point is wrestling is there for all of us to Enjoy and with all these amazing options like IMPACT,WWE,AEW,MLW,PROGRESS,IPW,KAMIKAZE PRO and NXT there is something there for everyone so let\u2019s enjoy what\u2019s out there and of course support your local indie, you never know who you\u2019ll find on there you could see the next Shawn Michaels or AJ styles and let people enjoy what they enjoy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Craig Ferriman@MrImpact I first started watching TNA\/IMPACT in October 2012 and it instantly rekindled my love of professional wrestling and I knew I would continue to be an IMPACT [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9407,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"tdm_status":"","tdm_grid_status":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[28,2,895],"tags":[436],"class_list":["post-12962","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-editorials","category-featured","category-impact-wrestling","tag-impact-wrestling"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p9jnWd-3n4","jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/prowrestlingjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/img_1342.jpg?fit=960%2C540&ssl=1","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/prowrestlingjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12962","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/prowrestlingjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/prowrestlingjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prowrestlingjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prowrestlingjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12962"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/prowrestlingjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12962\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12963,"href":"https:\/\/prowrestlingjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12962\/revisions\/12963"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prowrestlingjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9407"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/prowrestlingjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12962"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prowrestlingjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12962"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prowrestlingjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12962"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
