I can’t believe this only something I have only recently noticed. I love shipping as I’m sure a ton of others do as well. The WWE fandom in particular has quite a plethora of ships. Hundreds probably. What I don’t understand is why in a fandom as big as ours, we don’t have ship weeks. I mean I could be wrong but I have yet to see any out there. I mean I’m just looking at some fandoms and I see all the different ships having appreciation weeks. There’s The Flash with Westallen week, Once Upon a Time with Swan Queen week, Supernatural with Destiel week and so forth.
So I just have to ask all the different ships/shippers out there:
Why isn’t there an Ambreigns week?
Why isn’t there a Miz/Maryse week?
Why isn’t there a JeriKO week?
Why isn’t there a Sethanie week?
Why isn’t there a Boss Kicker week?
Why isn’t there a Neth Bellins week?
Why isn’t there a Finn/Bayley week?
Why isn’t there a Roman/Sasha week?
Why isn’t there a Becky/Charlotte week?
Why isn’t there a Finn/Sami week?
Why isn’t there a Ambrollins week?
Why isn’t there a Jimmy/Naomi week?
Why isn’t there a Zowens week?
Why isn’t there a BadaBoss week?
Why isn’t there a TJ/Brian week?
Why isn’t there a Nena week?
Why isn’t there a Bray/Randy week?
Why isn’t there a Orteigns week?
Why isn’t there a Xavier/Kofi week?
Why isn’t there a Jeristyles week?
Why isn’t there a Natayla/Tyson week?
Why isn’t there a Paige/Roman week?
Why isn’t there a Bayley/Becky week?
Why isn’t there a Cena/Styles week?
Why isn’t there an Ambrolleigns week?
Why isn’t there a Nikki/Carmella week?
Why isn’t there a Finn/Seth week?
Why isn’t there a Rolleigns week?
Why isn’t there a Bayley/Charlotte week?
Why isn’t there a Braniel week?
Why isn’t there a Wybrose week?
Why isn’t there a Cassamore week?
Why isn’t there a Deanee week?
Why isn’t there a Triple H/Stephanie week?
Why isn’t there a Breezango week?
Why isn’t there a Nikki/Roman week?
Why isn’t there an Anderstyles week?
Why isn’t there a Randy/Seth week?
Why isn’t there a Chris/Stephanie week?
Why isn’t there AJ/Becky week?
Why isn’t there a Ballins week?
Why isn’t there a Bayley/Sasha week?
Why isn’t there a Heath/Rhyno week?
Why isn’t there a Rusev/Lana week?
Why isn’t there a Saige week?
Why isn’t there a Jeribrose week?
Why isn’t there a Nia/Roman week?
Why isn’t there a Finn/Shinsuke week?
Why isn’t there a Becky/Paige week?
Why isn’t there a Sheasaro week?
This right here is a list of 50 of some of the ships that I know of. Which again is not even scratching the surface because there are so many I personally don’t even know of. Then there are many of the people I listed that have multiple popular ships. So even if we don’t have one week dedicated to each ship we could have a week dedicated to lets say Dean’s ships or Becky ships or Finn’s ships.
My point is I think ship appreciation weeks would be a good thing. Celebrating ships, foster new friendships, introducing people to new ships, having people show off their creative skills and getting people happy and excited for something. I mean what shipper wouldn’t love a week dedicated to their current OTP’s. Heck it wouldn’t even have to be current. What about a week for those of us who love those different older/old school ships that just aren’t around anymore like Junk, Shawter, John/AJ Lee,Jericho/Edge, Codiase, Randy/Stacy, Centon, Trish/Lita, E&C, Zigglee, BHBK, Wade/Justin, Kane/AJ Lee, Cody/Kaitlyn, Chris/Trish, Eric/Vince, Candy, Punklee, Wade/Sheamus, Benerrero, AJ/Paige Miz/Alex and Jerishow.
Whether someone’s ship or OTP hasn’t interacted in three years or even three days I still bet they’re people out there itching to do some edits, or write a fanfic, or create a gifset.
The possibilities are endless on what these weeks could be about, like AU’s for instance:
1950′s AU
Coffeeshop AU
Western AU
Soulmate AU
Domestic AU
Teacher/Student AU
Divorced AU
Amnesia AU
Time Travel
Bodyswap

So why don’t we do it guys. Let’s make a new tradition. Any takers out there because I think if we put our minds to it we can put this together?
