7 Things that incite "Nerd Rage" in the Internet Wrestling Community

Incites Nerd Rage #7 Talking about wrestling in kayfabe terms

Johnny Gargano kicks the taste out of Tommaso Ciampa's mouth during their heated rivalry.

Kayfabe is the 'admitted fakery' that allows pro wrestling to occupy its unique niche in the world of sports.

Kayfabe is, for example, Braun Strowman being crushed in the back of a garbage truck one week, then showing up unharmed the next week coming out of the same garbage truck. How did he not get crushed? Why did the garbage truck not empty its load at the landfill? These questions are meaningless, because in the world of pro wrestling kayfabe Strowman is an unstoppable monster who can't be killed by conventional means.

But then there are the members of the IWC who can't stand these type of stories, or even talking about them. Tell one of these people that "Johnny Gargano hates Tommaso Ciampa," and you will incite their nerd rage. They will angrily--and condescendingly--explain that the two are friends in 'real life' and that you are a 'stupid mark' for buying into the story line.

The same people won't bat an eye saying 'Thanos hates Captain America' even if Chris Evans and Josh Brolin are friends in 'real life.' It just goes to show that Nerd Rage knows not logic or reason!

There you have it; Seven things that will trigger Nerd Rage in certain members of the Internet Wrestling Community. What triggers your nerd rage?
