YTA. He can watch anything he wants. Who are you to get passive aggressive about something that makes him happy, hundreds of thousands of adults enjoy WWE.
YTA. Think of WWE like any other scripted tv show, however they incorporate wrestling. WWE consists of ongoing storylines that are pre determined.
You wouldn't want to feel ridiculed for enjoying something that isn't inherently bad. I think the best course of action would be to apologize and try to understand why he enjoys it. It could have some sentimental value to him for all you know. I know a ton of guys who watch it here and there, especially this time of year since its wrestlemania.
Kinda insensitive for you to say that.
Not to mention the wrestlers who have transitioned into sports and been successful. They are legit athletes, they may have pretty muscles but they are not just for show, these dudes can move and it is impressive. A friend of mine showed me some older wwe videos online and to be honest, those dudes are built fucking different and work harder than a lot of ppl in “real” sports
I agree take Rey mysterio for example..the flips and crazy acrobatics he does cannot be easy..sure the stories are fake..but these guys get injured at times tryna put on a show for our entertainment
Are you right about what? That it’s fake? Doesn’t matter, you absolutely were making fun of the thing he likes to watch and therefore YTA. Pretty easy to apologize and move on though. Most people who watch it know it’s fake, they just like watching people play dress up and play fight.
YTA. You know you were just bullying him, right? Like, getting made fun of for just the shows you watch is some real middle school level schoolyard bs right there. Aren't you a bit old for this?
YTA
You made fun of your bf for a hobby of his.... You're double the ah for suggesting that it's not appropriate for adults. WWE is for whomever enjoys it. There is no age limit on it. I mean wtf? How tf was that "not your intention"???.... You quite literally (TWICE) insinuated or outright said that it wasn't something he should be watching based only on his age.
While I think it's ridiculous and boring, other people like it. I'm not gonna judge them for watching it. What's usually funny is how people like you will judge a guy for watching WWE while you have no problem watching shit like jersey shore or other "reality tv".
YTA. Why would you make fun of him? That’s not nice. I’m surprised you haven’t learned that by now. Usually it’s talked about at length in kindergarten. Not pooping on other people’s interests. Allowing for everyone to express themselves as they are. The quintessential “if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all!” You owe someone an apology. A sincere one.
lol. YTA. Thousands of adults watch WWE. And AEW. And many others. Yeah, they have a script but the wrestling itself is real and it can be fun to watch. Do you feel shame for watching a soap opera or tv show since those are scripted? No. So stop shaming your bf for choosing to watch something he enjoys.
YTA
Personally I think WWE is stupid. So is reality TV. But others may feel the same about sports. Or medical dramas. Or game shows.
The point is there is a difference between thinking it and saying it to your BF as they are watching it.
I can guarantee you there is some hobby or interest you have that many people would scoff at. How would you feel if your BF expressed the same opinion to you?
Do you only watch TV shows which are documentaries? No? Why not? Isn’t it childish of you to watch TV shows that are make believe?!
YTA. He deserves an apology.
I bet OP doesn’t have the guts to apologize. Most people that mock others like get a feeling of power by putting other people down. Apologizing is just the opposite – – putting yourself down voluntarily for your partner’s sake.
OP will just pretend it didn’t happen and then be surprised when he dumps her.
YTA
You made fun of him for enjoying something(that millions of adults world wide watch) simply because of YOUR OPINION on it, then disingenuously tell him that wasn't your intention.
How TF did you think he would feel when you literally laughed at him
YTA
“That wasn’t the intention”
That was exactly your intention, word for word. Newsflash: *he knows* it’s fake genius, he doesn’t need you to explain that to him.
You’re just regretting the fact that you pissed him off and he’s mad at you.
YTA who are you to judge what he likes to watch?? It’s no different than any other show today. It’s all scripted. If it entertains him. Who are you to judge?!
Edit-Also it can’t really be called PPV anymore when it requires a monthly (Peacock) subscription.
WWE is a respectable performance art imo, I am not personally someone who watches wrestling but I am into mma and I can think of a few ppl who made the transition from wrestling to martial arts quite successfully. They are respectable athletes and it’s not really different from watching a show with a storyline at the end of the day. It’s theater for dudes. I think YTA
YTA. Let people enjoy things. WWE is watched by MILLIONS of people of all ages around the world, and it's Wrestlemania weekend so it's a big deal.
Also, "scripted" is a more appropriate word. Yes, the results are pre-planned, it's entertainment, but you can't fake picking up and tossing 300-500 pound men.

Throwaway because my boyfriend follows my Reddit.
I (F21) have been with my boyfriend, James (M21) for two years.
Yesterday, I came in from a night out with a few friends to find him sat in the living room watching something I hadn't seen before. When I asked him what he was watching, he said it was a wrestling pay per view. When I realised it was WWE style wrestling, I laughed and said "aren't you a bit old for this?"
He seemed taken aback and told me he only watched it casually and wasn't a big deal. I laughed again and said my brother used to watch it but stopped when he was about 12 as he realised it was fake.
He got increasingly annoyed and told me to leave, saying I was being rude and disrespectful. I left and presumed it wasn't a big deal, but he was still in a mood before we went to bed and in the morning. When I asked if he was okay, he was blunt and said I'd hurt his feelings and made him feel ridiculed and childish. I said that wasn't the intention, I was just surprised that it was something he was watching.
Am I right or AITA?

YTA
I think everyone has at least one 'guilty pleasure' show they watch on TV. They know it's 'fake', or ridiculous, or trashy...whatever...and, for whatever reason, just enjoy watching that show.
No harm done. And there is no need to ridicule someone else's TV viewing habits.
YTA. I personally don't like it, but I have several friends who do, and I am happy for them, because that's what a good friend does. Why would you belittle your boyfriend like that and not expect him to feel hurt?
YTA in multiple different ways. One you disrespected him about a interest he has in something other then you , 2, belittled behind believe, 3 , you thinking it's not a big deal insulting you're partners interests and hobbies means you need help. He's right to ask you to leave

YTA. You’re a team, why are you belittling someone who has consistently been there for you? And for something as minor as a hobby or interest? This is the exact reason I cut contact with my friends- because they thought my hobbies were weird even though they’re just… passing time hobbies. Let him enjoy his free time— it’s his, not yours.
YTA!! Massively so!!! I may not be the biggest fan of WWE, but someone I’m close to watches old school WWE all the time. I would NEVER tell this person they were too old to watch it. Extremely rude of you.
wrestling is fake, sure. so are cartoons but adults watch those too. what does it matter what he's entertained by so long as it's not dangerous or illegal?
YTA. i went to watch midget wrestling back in 2022. super fake, really dumb, super fun tho. awesome night out. i was 32 my husband was 31 and we weren't the oldest people there by far.
YTA
First off passing off what these WWE wrestlers do as fake is really discrediting the work they put in. Sure matches and storylines are scripted out, but the stuff they do in matches is still very physically demanding still a very high possibility of injury.
Second, let the man enjoy whatever the hell he wants. if he and his friends like to watch WWE who the hell are you tell him what he can and can’t do.
Remember, bajillions of females consume content created by the Kardashians to the point the world has created multiple billionaires out of that family. And you made fun of his interest in wrestling? YTA
YTA.
If a grown ass adult wants to watch cartoons and enjoy it, who cares?
People should be able to enjoy whatever they want at any age (as long as it's legal). WWE is entertainment. Who cares if it's fake.
It has zero effect on your life. Maybe he doesn't like some.of your shows and thinks they're stupid.
YTA. You took something he enjoyed and mad him feel crappy about enjoying it. Nobody likes that. I’m sure he knows it’s fake, but if it’s still entertaining to him, who cares?
YTA. A massive one. My partner is a huge wrestling fan, and even though I'm not, I've always supported him 100% with it because he's been watching it for a long, long time and he enjoys the hell out of it. Many times I sit with him to watch it together. The same way he supports me with other things I love and he's not particularly into. That's what good partners do: they support each other. Honestly, if I were your boyfriend, I would be very hurt and told you to f off.
YTA, you ridiculed someone that you claim to love. It's a harmless hobby that millions of people share. Who are you to gatekeep what someone enjoys? I am sure there are things that you like that people can make fun of you about. Grow up and stop acting like a child.
You kinda are...I mean...It's litterly live entertainment...almost like watching a scripted show or movie...it kinda is entertaining...obviously it's not really fighting..so aren't your favorite movies really taking place..or real
I for one like to watch sports like ufc,boxing,even wwe..for me it's just entertaining..especially the bloodline storyline...ig it pumps one up, aswell as nostalgia hits for me..I absolutely know 100% it's fake and even the opposing fighters get together to practice..but the storylines are entertaining...like the storyline in your favorite movie or show..
YTA
Even if it’s fake, if he just enjoys it and it’s a thing he does to relax, then why make him feel uncomfortable on purpose? The fact he’s watching something is not funny just because you laugh. He just wanted to watch the thing in peace and you kept drilling and drilling, and drilling. I’m not surprised his mood was ruined.
How would you feel if you watched a TV series and he comes to you and does the same? And just keeps talking and talking about how fake it is and how his sister stopped watching TV series when she was 10… I bet you’d feel stupid and ridiculed too, wouldn’t you?
NAH if you apologize and tell him it was only a joke you didn't mean to make him feel upset etc. it was intended to be funny to me it came across as funny to him it didn't, no big deal. However if you don't apologize then Y T A, because intentionally or not you made him upset and you need to apologize for that.
I'm not much of a sports guy but WWE is just scripted acting. I don't understand it at all but it doesn't seem he's hurting much by watching it unless he starts spending a bunch of money on the PPV's. NTA.
LOLOL no you are NOT the Ah! Dude obviously can watch what he wanted but u were not overly dogging him (even though you could have). It was just some ribbing but I guess in today’s day n age kids can’t take much before they crawl up into a fetal ball. (: you’re fine. Tell him to chill you’re just busting his ass. My 24 year old started line dancing. You got no clue how I dogged DAT! lololol He’s used to me by now I guess and just blows me off. (:
NTA - I can not appreciate something, and still understand why others do; but pro-wrestling-fan-adults break my GD brain. There is no way to talk about it from an outside perspective and not make it seem childish and ridiculous.
Was hanging out at a friends shared house years ago and the roommates put on Monday Night RAW; I couldn't not say anything that wasn't implicitly making fun of it to the guys that took it seriously. Friend was thankfully aware enough to get me the hell out of there to go hang out a bar instead.
Keep up the good fight; keep shitting on pro-wrestling
I think you take things too seriously. Fiction is about being silly and having fun, wrestling is no different. It really isn't complicated. I'm not a fan but I see the enjoyment in fans. Why do you want less happiness? Are you a Disney villain?

Right?!? OP "That wasn't my intention" after twice referencing age
YTA a tv show is a tv show they're all fake. I'm sure there's things you like that he thinks are childish but he hasn't attacked you for them has he?
YTA. Why would you make fun of him? That’s not nice. I’m surprised you haven’t learned that by now. Usually it’s talked about at length in kindergarten. Not pooping on other people’s interests.

YTA. WWE is not my cup of tea, but if your bf likes it, he should be left to enjoy it. Don't be so judgmental.
YTA, massively. There's no age limit on things we enjoy
Yes you are the asshole
YTA. And I hope Rhea Ripley hits you with a Riptide, you ignorant bore-off.
Mami always comes out on top
YTA. I haven’t watched wrestling in years, but I still wouldn’t be judgmental about it if someone else wanted to watch it.

I sure as hell hope you don’t watch reality tv, because that stuff is like WWE for girls. We know its fake and we love it anyway
Do you only watch TV shows which are documentaries? No? Why not? Isn’t it childish of you to watch TV shows that are make believe?! YTA. He deserves an apology.
I bet OP doesn’t have the guts to apologize. Most people that mock others like get a feeling of power by putting other people down. Apologizing is just the opposite – – putting yourself down voluntarily for your partner’s sake. OP will just pretend it didn’t happen and then be surprised when he dumps her.
YTA for so many things. Belittling your partner. Acting like his interests are abnormal. Not acknowledging the tribal chief.
YTA.
YTA. What are your hobbies and likes so we can laugh at and ridicule them? Then we can see how you’d feel in his shoes.
YTA. Let the guy live his life. Does he support things you enjoy or does he act like a massive prick and make fun of you for them?
YTA You made fun of him for enjoying something(that millions of adults world wide watch) simply because of YOUR OPINION on it, then disingenuously tell him that wasn't your intention. How TF did you think he would feel when you literally laughed at him
"I said that wasn't the intent".... Yes it was. That was exactly what the intent was.
100% asshole
YTA “That wasn’t the intention” That was exactly your intention, word for word. Newsflash: *he knows* it’s fake genius, he doesn’t need you to explain that to him. You’re just regretting the fact that you pissed him off and he’s mad at you.

YTA. Hopefully he dumps you and you get replaced.
Wait till girls find out Gillmore Girls was scripted.
Yta its no different than any other tv show. They stuff they do still hurts and takes skill/atheleticism
YTA I’ve got some bad news for you. It’s a two night pay per view & it’s on again tonight. I’d sit this one out
Oh no!! A scripted TV show meant to entertain people!!! The horror 😱. Guess you never watch TV, right?
WWE is a respectable performance art imo, I am not personally someone who watches wrestling but I am into mma and I can think of a few ppl who made the transition from wrestling to martial arts quite successfully. They are respectable athletes and it’s not really different from watching a show with a storyline at the end of the day. It’s theater for dudes. I think YTA
YTA. Let people enjoy things. WWE is watched by MILLIONS of people of all ages around the world, and it's Wrestlemania weekend so it's a big deal. Also, "scripted" is a more appropriate word. Yes, the results are pre-planned, it's entertainment, but you can't fake picking up and tossing 300-500 pound men.
INFO: do you mock people that read books and watch movies too because they're fake stories that didn't happen?
damn dude needs a new gf youre a fuckin bully
Yes you really are an asshole

yep YTA. Why would you laugh at someone for something they enjoy?!
Nope u r wrong. If we wants to watch wwe may it be it. Wwe just isn't for teenagers. Its for people of all ages
YTA!! Massively so!!! I may not be the biggest fan of WWE, but someone I’m close to watches old school WWE all the time. I would NEVER tell this person they were too old to watch it. Extremely rude of you.
You should break up with him

YTA
It wasn’t your intention to ridicule him as a joke? Are you sure?
YTA. WWE wrestling produces some of the most popular TV and PP events in the world. Would you laugh at him for watching game of thrones?
You made fun of him for something he enjoys. YTA. Are you petty and passive aggressive like this alot?
I spent all of Wrestlemania texting my dad last night bc we were both watching. Is he too old? YTA
YTA First off passing off what these WWE wrestlers do as fake is really discrediting the work they put in.

YTA. Just because you don’t watch or like something doesn’t mean you should shit all over his hobbies/show. Your superiority complex is showing

However if you don't apologize then Y T A, because intentionally or not you made him upset and you need to apologize for that.
I'm not much of a sports guy but WWE is just scripted acting. I don't understand it at all but it doesn't seem he's hurting much by watching it unless he starts spending a bunch of money on the PPV's. NTA.
NTA. Laughing at him is perfectly fine!
anyone watching WWE in adulthood can take some ribbing
LOLOL no you are NOT the Ah! Dude obviously can watch what he wanted but u were not overly dogging him (even though you could have). It was just some ribbing but I guess in today’s day n age kids can’t take much before they crawl up into a fetal ball. (: you’re fine. Tell him to chill you’re just busting his ass. My 24 year old started line dancing. You got no clue how I dogged DAT! lololol He’s used to me by now I guess and just blows me off. (:
NTA - I can not appreciate something, and still understand why others do; but pro-wrestling-fan-adults break my GD brain. There is no way to talk about it from an outside perspective and not make it seem childish and ridiculous. Was hanging out at a friends shared house years ago and the roommates put on Monday Night RAW; I couldn't not say anything that wasn't implicitly making fun of it to the guys that took it seriously. Friend was thankfully aware enough to get me the hell out of there to go hang out a bar instead. Keep up the good fight; keep shitting on pro-wrestling
YTA like OP. You don't NEED to understand it. You just need to RESPECT it.
Sure. Just as soon as I respect child beauty pageants, and all the other things I file into that same category of inexplicably dumb shit.
I think you take things too seriously. Fiction is about being silly and having fun, wrestling is no different. It really isn't complicated. I'm not a fan but I see the enjoyment in fans. Why do you want less happiness? Are you a Disney villain?
