I remember during the Monday Night Wars there was t-shirt stands all over my local mall selling ECW/WCW/WWE t-shirts. That was the coolest time to be a wrestling fan.

THE END
What is the coolest match to have and which is the least cool (uncool) match to have? I think a regular singles match is very uncool, for example. Another example of an uncool match is a tag team match.

Austin vs Kane was pretty cool, it had a fan

If Kane lost and set himself on fire, that wouldn't have been cool

I still think wrestling could have been ironically cool with hipsters if they'd have capitalised on Bryan and Punk being white hot. Hipsters love kitsch Americana and there's nothing more kitsch and American than pro wrestling. But Vince McMahon hates money so...

It looks about the same as I remember it looking. If it's the sort of thing you like, then yes. Wrestling is still cool.

Wrestling is cool in that none of the promotions are all that hot.

An MMA match is the coolest wrestling match, OP

There's actually a ton of wrestling merch in Hot Topic and FYE and Spencers and other kitschy mall places like that mixed in with the Doctor Who and Walking Dead stuff so being a wrestling fan is exactly as cool as being the type of person who would wear a Doctor Who shirt

Wrestling fans are nerds, poor people and 12-year-olds so it's extremely cool, OP.
