ESPN’s Colin Cowherd besmirched wrestling fans on his radio talk show the “Herd with Colin Cowherd.” This isn’t the first time that Colin Cowherd and professional wrestling fans have crossed paths.
In November of 2005, professional wrestling superstar, Eddie Guerrero, passed away. Colin Cowherd took it upon himself to use Eddie’s death as a travesty rather than a tragedy. This angered a lot of wrestling fans, including myself. This act of un-professionalism prompted myself to retaliate and to show how much of a cipher Mr. Colin Cowherd really is.
I’ve received emails that supported Colin Cowherd and emails that supported myself. I did it with great pride, and I do NOT recant my words.
Colin Cowherd went on his little querulous tirade about how wrestling fans were “booger-eaters.” I didn’t know Shaquille O’Neal ate his own boogers? Because obviously he’s an avid fan of professional wrestling.
Colin continued his tirade by saying that NFL football players are the best in the world of professional sports and that they have better builds without the usage of steroids. Funny, Bill Goldberg was a football player. William Perry was actually inducted in the WWE Hall of Fame for his performance at WrestleMania 2.
I don’t doubt that football players have better builds without the usage of steroids, but isn’t it funny that some guys like Goldberg, who used to play for the Atlanta, Falcons, or Monty Brown, who used to play for the New England, Patriots and the Buffalo, Bills, are now wrestlers. Go ahead, Cowherd, I DARE you to go up to these guys and call them “booger-eaters.”
Colin finished up his tirade by claiming that he and 90% of his audience were "grown-up" and “above stature” to wrestling fans. I'm sure Colin's audience are grown-up, and do have a high stature, but claiming himself to be "grown-up" and "above stature" makes me laugh. A foppish child all of a sudden claims he's grown-up? Talk about bad comedy.
Not only did Colin call wrestling fans “booger-eaters,” but he even made the obvious generalization that wrestling fans lived in their parents’ basement. Brett Favre lives in his parents basement?
I have to laugh at Colin Cowherd, because it’s as if his disdain for wrestling is only gainsay; in other words, he actually likes wrestling just too temerity to admit that he indeed is a big fan of wrestling. Of course, I think Colin was out sick the day that
Let me enlighten Mr. Cowherd something. Shaq is a wrestling fan. Brett Favre is a wrestling fan. 95% of the NFL players are wrestling fans. Dennis Rodman is a wrestling fan. Karl Malone is a wrestling fan. Chicago White Sox catcher, A.J. Pierzynski, is a wrestling fan. NASCAR announcer Jeff Hammond is a wrestling fan, in fact, sometimes he’s the wrestler.
NASCAR Champion, Darrell Waltrip is a wrestling fan. NASCAR’s bad boy, Tony Stewart is a wrestling fan. There is currently a hockey team in Calgary called the “Hitmen,” which was derived from professional wrestler Bret “Hitman” Hart. I guess all these guys are “booger-eaters” and live in their parents’ basements too.
When I read Colin Cowherd’s remarks about wrestling fans, I laughed. I thought, “wow, wrestling fans have exacerbated Colin to the point that he didn’t know what he was saying.”
At first, I wasn’t going to write a column about it. I figured he embarrassed himself enough already. That is until I realized that he was a sports radio talk show host, and I’m sure he doesn’t realize that athletes, specifically baseball, basketball, football, and NASCAR, LOVE wrestling.
I couldn’t help it. I had to prove how dumb Colin Cowherd was once again. Obviously Colin Cowherd is eminent for stupidity. Thank God, I’m not a part of the 90% that is allegedly “above” wrestling fans’ stature.
I’ll stick with my “fake sport” and Colin Cowherd can continue to talk about his fetish of eating boogers and living in his parents’ basement.
