First Steps as a Total Newbie
Started binge-watching old wrestling clips last year during my job’s off-season. My cousin kept ranting about “that cowboy hat guy” Zeb Colter doing promos. Clicked some bootleg YouTube compilations – dude immediately grabbed me with that raspy voice slamming politicians while waving American flags.
My Clueless Fan Phase Mistakes
Went hunting for merch like a dumbass. Bought three “illegal” printed tees from sketchy pop-up shops before realizing they ripped off designs. Got blocked by five fan accounts on Twitter for spamming “WHERE BUY REAL SHIRT????” Got scammed twice paying for “exclusive Zoom meet & greet” fakes. Yeah… was rough.
How I Finally Got Smart
Stumbled into this wrestling collector’s forum after googling “zeb colter real fan help.” Lurked for weeks before posting. Old-school fans schooled me hard:
- Rule #1: Never trust “exclusive” social media offers – Zeb ain’t doing secret Discord chats.
- Rule #2: Follow only verified merch partners announced during WWE shows.
- Rule #3: Dig into pre-WWE indy interviews for hidden lore gems. Found goldmine promos he cut holding a mic in one hand and beer in the other.
Putting Tips into Action
Saved cash for three months. Hit that official WWE shop during Christmas sale – scored authentic signed bandana for half-price. Recorded all his appearances religiously in a notebook. Finally caught that legendary “immigration rant” episode live when USA Network re-aired it.
Where I’m at Now
My cousin calls me “Zeb’s secretary” as a joke now. Got proper display case for the bandana. Run a small fan group where we break down his mic techniques – how he pauses for breaths right before dropping truth bombs. Still hunting rare ECW footage. Lesson learned? Being smart fan beats being loud fan every time.
