Welcome to the *Official* MySpace of The number one Pro wrestling Satire site online according to Google (and why would he lie?) www.thewrestlingfan.com! Yes. That's right. The OFFICIAL Myspace. Not that there's a lot of other people claiming that handle, but hey, we kind of wanted to sound really important. What can you do?
The Wrestling Fan, or TWF as it's affectionately known by..somebody? is a Satire website dedicated to the coverage of Pro Wrestling; or more so, the parody of the stupider side of Pro Wrestling; whether it be what you see on camera, or some of the more absurd things that transpire while it is off. If something's afoot in Pro Wrestling, you better believe TWF will be on the scene...to no doubt completely beat tasteless jokes into the ground and probably offend somebody. It's true. And we have a death threat from The Ultimate Warrior and his people (seriously) to prove it.
TWF is also known for housing one of the largest collections of completely original wrestling-themed Photoshops online, which has been its calling-card since 2003. Chances are, if you've seen a doctored wrestling picture online or in a forum, it was probably stolen from us. Those Assholes.
History:
TWF originally went online in March 2003. And it can all be traced back to one solitary moment when one man had a dream. That dream was to somehow have sex whilst simultaneously eating a meatball sub and listening to the Metallica black album. Sean Carless never accomplished that dream. HOWEVER, his second dream was to create a website for which his twisted brain-farts could FINALLY have a home; in addition to a place where the dreaded harpy known as "Political Correctness" would be barred from the premises like Minorities at a drinking fountain in the 50's.
And thus, The Wrestling Fan.com was born! It would have honestly been called something else, but due to being somewhat inebriated at the time, "The Wrestling Fan" was all Sean could come up with, and thus it stuck. (Well, that, and Superduperfaggotyworldofwrestlingandfun.com apparently was too long to be hosted by the good people at Go Daddy.). Oh well.
In its near 5 year tenure online, TWF's readership has grown exponentially, to the point now where it is widely considered the number one Wrestling Satire website on... THE PLANET EARTH. And that's including all the Seas and the Oceans! No other Pro Wrestling website can claim the popularity we do in the highly coveted aquatic-life demographic, so don't even bother disputing it. And not just because it's a ridiculous claim and completely un-provable. Not even.
TWF currently hosts, and has hosted some of the most popular veteran writers online, including the works of Derek Burgan, Justin Shapiro, Harry Simon and Dave Gagnon; in addition to those who carved their own unique and hilarious niche (along with Canadian Bacon) like Joe Merrick, James Walker, Anvil's Swagbag (if that is indeed his real name) Cameron Burge, Gershon Levy and Catherine Perez, among many, many others! Well, bar a few really talentless people that we've since erased from our History. But discounting *those* people, whom like Chris Benoit, apparently never existed, I have no doubt that the hardworking Staff of The Wrestling Fan, who only survive off of scraps of food thrown to them by me, and get paid entirely in hugs, are indeed the World's greatest journalists of completely unreal predetermined athletic exhibitions. It's a bold claim, sure, but one I'm confident is 100% kind of true. I think.
So, whether it be Satires, Columns, reviews, Recapitations, or unique concepts like the infamous SOUR25's or the reader-interactive FAN LAWS, TWF remains at the forefront of something, I'm sure. When we find out just what that is exactly, you better believe we'll brag about it.
And finally, we wouldn't be here today if not for our loyal band of merry readers, who luckily for us, decided to not press the red X in the top right corner of their screens the first time they saw a mock picture of an Airplane crashing into the heads of Big Bossman and Akeem ever so close to the 6th anniversary of one of the biggest tragedies in U.S. History. And for that, we thank you for your lack of emotion and a soul. (But not a sense of humor. Thank God.).
That said, thanks as well to the many, many sites, who were fans of what we do here, and thus seriously helped TWF grow over the years with well-timed plugs. Such sites as Live Audio Wrestling, Wrestling Observer, 411 Mania, Wrestlecrap, and the F4W EMPIRE~!, and those writers and owners contained within that Sean cultivated a close friendship with...only to then somehow weasel free advertising from. For without them, we would have probably had to spend money getting the word out; and well, who wants to do that, when you can just convince all your writer buddies to put convenient free links to YOUR work, in THEIR work? Exactly.
Also, thanks to the hard working men and women of the wonderful world of Pro wrestling! It may seem like we're a little hard on you guys sometimes, but we wouldn't spend thousands of dollars of our (and not our parents, I swear) hard-earned money on basically dudes rolling around in their underwear, if there wasn't a level of respect and admiration there. We're just sarcastic motherfuckers, that's all. If we make fun of your foibles, that means we CARE. Stop laughing. I'm serious.
In Closing:
Now that we've rambled on, (and boy have we) we'll let you know what this page is for. It is but simply another free tool to promote our TWF product to the masses that may not have ever found their way to us through other alternate channels.
Here you'll find links, plugs and the unapologetic promoting of current and upcoming works. In addition to hopefully some content *exclusive* to this page, including Writers Blogs, original pics, and other things that I'm sure I'll forget to end up doing, despite promising. Yup.
And hey, it wouldn't be Myspace if we didn't want to hear from YOU! No, not you, fatso. You talk enough as it is. YOU right there! Yes, YOU. Drop us a comment, a suggestion, or maybe just give us a hearty virtual reach around, and by gawd show us the love we so richly deserve for really doing nothing of any value to like 95% of the planet. We've earned it. I think.
So, that all said, WELCOME to the TWF Revolution! Kind of! Viva TWF! Which is Spanish for Viva TWF~! (I flunked that class).
