Whether smart fans even like wrestling any more remains unclear. They only seem to derive pleasure from dissecting every program and talking how they could run a show much better than the current crop of nincompoops. They're cranky, insufferable, and too informed for their own good. (I, of course, am a smart.) If a smart and a mark were in a wrestling match, the smart would be the bad guy. The smart is oh-so-superior to the mark, finds him childish and ignorant. The smart hates the mark. He would also do anything to be one

I try to watch it for fun nowadays, but its hard to watch it without picking it apart. I guess thats what happens after a while. No-one just goes along with what they see on the TV anymore. For example :

Edge wins the money in the bank match. Everyone instantly picks up on the fact that he didnt do much in the match and that they feel Christian should have won to boost his overness.

It just can't be helped I guess

I actually thought it was a good idea for Edge to win the ladder match seeing as how he's been pushed as the 2nd biggest heel on RAW for the past 6 months. Whether or not he was the best wrestler in the match, it'd be counter-productive to have him job.

Of course I TOO would have loved to see Xtian win it.

I was just going with the general thought on the match. I thought Edge should win too.

I can't even begin to count how many times I've seen somethin like that. There was and will always be two brands of fans. Live with it.

nah i'm a hybrid, i watch as a mark, and then think about it afterwards as a smark while i'm on tpww.. but off of tpww i never think that way

^Same here,well i try my best to do that anyway.

same here.

I like what I like, and I dislike what I dislike.

I like some shit the WWE does, and I dislike other shit.

I think that's fair enough.

marcyo i see u on tpww during all of mondays doing it. so shhhh u

but who cares about that, that article been done over and over again its old.

Might've hit caps lock and size=7. Ah well.

So what is this guy, the guy that wrote this article? A 'smarker' perhaps?

Shut up.

Pure idiocy and total crap.

nobody was hurt by it. :D

Ruien was.

:rofl:

What's wrong with Shelton?

:wtf:

Two out of three of those guys are actually talented.

its not exactly a well thought out name like stone cold or the rock. its just someones normal name.

if WWE or TNA for that matter, puts across a storyline that i think is complete crap, then you're damn straight im going to complain and whine about it. However i was marking the fuck out at certain points in WM, mainly screaming at HBK to 'tap bitch, tap!!'

:lol:


This guy Can kiss my ass and if he visits TPWW...





SHUT UP YOU IGNORANT ASS!




Edit: I hate it when people talk about "the wrestling internet" and its evils. I have actually become more of a fan due to the "evil" internet. If I wouldn't have found wrestling forums and stuff, I'd probably be the guy who watched it in 1999 and calls people who watch it now "losers". So thank you internet. THANK YOU FOR KEEPING ME A FAN! :y:

And Rocky Maivia didn't sound pretty normal? Steve Austin was always "Stone Cold?"

What about Kurt Freakin' Angle?

Who gives a fuck about the names, I wanna know CAN THEY WRESTLE AND CAN THEY CUT A MOTHER FUCKING PROMO.........DAMN YOU SON OF A BITCHES AT ESPN......*remembers his pressure points* "Wusah, Wusah" *calms down*

I agree, redoneja. WTF is up with bashing the "plain" names. So I guess Brock Lesnar, Mick Foley, John Cena, Randy Orton, and Dave Batista are no-draws too, right? Pff, idiot. In this day and age of wrestling, real names are becoming more and more commonplace. Gimmicks are slowly going away (save for good ones like Eugene and Hulk Hogan).

(Pretending it's 2003 again...)
Are we supposed to get behind somebody named BROCK? Are you serious? BROCK? I yell more pleasant-sounding words whilst taking a crap!

So true, so true.

And if you don't like someone who can't wrestle or cut a promo, you're a smart and hate wrestling. :nono:

I agree with some of that article. The writer was right on when he said that Hogan was a 3 as a wrestler but a 33 as an entertainer. And he seemed to be placing a lot of the blame on the current state of the business on Vince's shoulders. He took a jab at how the Hall of Fame is a joke, and how it's pretty much determined by whether or not you pissed off Vince or not.

He was wrong about the names. How is "Paul London" not a good wrestling name?

"Shelton" may sound a bit weak, but it's original and memorable. "Shelton" was the name I remembered from the Team Angle days. Besides, all he needs is a cool nickname to go along with his real name. "Jake Roberts" is not a very exciting name; but "Jake the Snake Roberts" is.

Howabout SHelton "The token negro" benjamin?

Shelton "Pudding Pop" Benjamin


:shifty:

Overplayed. How about Shelton "Sky Diving" Benjamin. Just through something out of my ass here.

Howabout you think before you post?

I thought his nickname was Mr. Benjamin. :shifty:

There ain't no stopping him now, nigga!

Shelton "WWE's POwell" Benjamin.

No, that's OJ.

Shelton "the Urban Assault" Benjamin.

Shelton Dudley.

Maybe he needs some "street cred."

Change his name to Black and Blue

(and stop him from ever wearing red)

Shelton "Ahmed 2.0" Benjamin
