    TEENAGE fans of TV wrestling are more likely than their peers to be aggressive or take chances with their health, a US study suggests.

    Researchers found that among 2300 16- to 20-year-old Americans, those who watched professional wrestling were more likely to be violent, smoke or have unprotected sex - and the more they watched TV wrestling, the greater their odds of taking such risks.

    However, he said it was "definitely possible" that TV wrestling affected teenagers' behaviour.

    Yet, were told all too often that you're average wrestling fan is some chap who lives in his mothers basement, spends all day online talking wrestling, and is about attractive as this guy.

    I have a sneaky suspicion this poll primarily target the likes of this chap.

    Oh unbiased media, please make your mind up.

    Its true. No matter what you watch or collect or play or whatever, you always fall into some group. Its a bit annoying really. Especially when the majority of people aren't even like the stereotypes mentioned.
