One of the reasons I dropped my football tickets was because of BS like this. I just want to watch the game.
Watch the game then… I’ve literally never been to sporting event and not been able to watch the game based on what promotion was going on
Poor poor HHT. The upside is when he stays away the rest of us can enjoy it more.

This is dumbest reason I have ever heard for not buying season tickets.
Are you from Memphis? Wrestling is in our DNA
Born and raised. Jackie Fargo was my first childhood hero. I was quite disappointed to find out it was fake. That was about 60 years ago.
Jackie Fargo was my childhood Saturday morning wrestling hero as well. He was the good guy, Lawler was the bad guy and there were lots of fun characters as a supporting cast. I think I was over it by the time I was 10 and got into real sports.
I had Jackie Fargo speak in one of my classes at the University. When he was asked if wrestling was fake he rolled up his pants leg and showed all the scars (some of which were from compound fractures) and said non of those were fake.

No way
BTW, I'm sure Jackie got those scars and injuries from a bit too much Roughhousing with his brother.

Jackie father used to make Jackie and Roughhouse fight when they were kids to toughen them up.

Can you please share with us smarter reasons you have heard
1. Can't afford it.
2. Health reasons
3. Moved away
4. That pesky pandemic.
All better reasons than a half time rassillin match. I honestly can't remember when I have stayed in my seat at half time. You miss all the good scenery in the concourse.
Spot on. JSW doesn’t have much in the brain power department. You must not have paid any attention to his posts previously. LOL!!
The site however waits with great anticipation of your next and every post. I bet your brain is so large you wear a 10 gallon hat . People on this site aspire to be like you
Thanks buddy. Didn't realize you were a fan.

They have had Deangelo Nascar car giveaway, Tiger Helmet giveaway, Liberty Bowl Replica Giveaway. I would think Bobblehead nights, T-shirt giveaways, Throwback jerseys, etc. would draw more fans than "wear blue" games. How about a Tiger greats series of Bobbleheads where they bring back a Tiger great and honor them during the game. Deangelo, Wimprine, Isaac Bruce, Anthony Miller, Tony Pollard, D Henderson, Jake Elliott, Russell Copeland, Gatty, Paxton, etc. etc. Even coaches like Chuck Stobart, Fuentes, Norvell, Scherer, and maybe even assistants like Mike Tomlin and Randy Fichtner could have honorary nights.

I would like to see more bobbleheads.
One of the best I have is the Gostkowski bobble head which also features a bobble leg.
