I surrendered persuading my 7-year old son, Christian, not to watch wrestling, or at least minimize his viewing it. But unluckilly, he instead dragged all of us in the family to yell and jump from our seats everytime WWE Smackdown is shown. Well at least, all of us grown-ups are there to expalin to him the events of the show. I don't know if it's good but he has this obsession with the Filipino wrestling pro, Batista. That not only collecting shirts with Batista's face on them, but from school stuffs to action character of Batista's different fights. But just recently during our vacation, he persuaded us to get an artificial tattoo (henna) similar to Batista's!What do you thing, do I need to stop his obsession now? Please guide me.

i think you shouldnt make him stop watching it, maby let him only watch it. my brother is autistic and he is also obsessed with wrestling, he knows all the wrestlers entrance songs from smack down his therapist told us that we should not make him stop but continue leting him watch it. she said it is good for children to have a hoby. no matter what that might be. so i say that you should let him watch it but dont let him have too much control. like let him watch only one toy of batista,and stuff like that

Hahaha.. my father is a big fan of wrestling and his favorite is Batista as well. When wrestling is showing on tv, no body holds the remote or touch any buttons on tv. My mother is not a very fond of those close fighting stuff on tv but she sometimes shout when someoned knocks someone on the ring hahaha..

Batista is the one of the vicious character in the World Wrestling Entertainment Industry. He got interesting physical built with the attitude of animal who have devastating physical power to crush the opponent. He character is created that way for the sake of the game and marketing. Your son obsession is because of the character and marketing image of Batista that has penetrate his mindset. Resulting in bringing the same attitude and imitation of the character. It is very tough to get out of it when it is already into the stage of obsession unless there is time Batista no longer play the part of the major character or he some kind of less effort in the marketing. As long as Batista still the major character and a lot of marketing effort i.e. magazine, reviews, videos, highlights, etc about him. Your son going to be a hardcore fan of him. Lol
