Very very old wank, and not quite fandom, but..
This is probably the biggest wank ever to come out of the wrestling corner of the internet.

A few years ago, there was humor/opinion board that was getting big. About 5-6 thousand hits a day. The WWF noticed this, and *directly* ripped off ideas from them more than once.

But no one would have believed this story if it weren't actually documented.

Read, and watch the story of a carefully constructed publicity stunt on the part of the WWF unfold into delicious wank.

Oh, I'd say it constitutes fandom.

It also constitutes very good wank. My brain is still reeling from it!

And this once more explains why I absolutely love wrestling, but fear its fans. We have a tendency to be truly wanktastic.

Though I am happy that this did not include the phrase "HHH was holding him down" in any way, shape or form. Granted, it takes place before all that started, but it's refreshing none the less.

OMFG ... I am rolling on the floor. I used to be a big fan of Opie and Anthony, listened to them on NY radio nearly every day on my commute home and am quite familiar with this whole incident/story/wank. When The Rock was in their studio and went stalking out it was the most uncomfortable thing ever but OH THE WANK that ensued lasted for weeks, and weeks, and weeks.

I miss Opie & Anthony. Good times. Thanks for reminding me of it all.

The Rock went stalking out of someone's studio? What'd they do? o.O

Can't you just, like, read it to me? Preferably while wearing something sexy?

I am relieved to find that there is a fandom out there that seriously needs to get a life even more than my own fandom. Okay!
