Within the professional wrestling landscape, wrestling fans have what those within the industry have long called "the dirt-sheets." A pejorative way of describing websites and newsletters which publish rumors -- which often turn out to be true, might I add -- and reports related to recent events, these publications are in sync with a 24/7 news cycle, like you would see on CNN or Fox News. And naturally, a healthy amount of the wrestling fanbase just goes to Reddit to hear the latest and greatest wrestling-related news.

Phish is one of the few bands big enough to not only have its own Reddit community, but to also generate enough content so that there are interesting threads posted all day, every day. Today, for example, within Phish's Reddit community recent posts located include discussion about finding tickets for upcoming shows, recaps of recent live events, seeking old band-related merchandise, and finding people to meet up with.

Comparing concert setlists, is that any different than going over who won and lost matches at a live event? Is talking about which songs you hope to hear at a concert much different from "fantasy booking" a wrestling card or a long-term Raw storyline? And is looking for an old Phish tour poster that far in scope from chasing down a vintage WWF t-shirt? Personally, I'm thinking no, no and no.
