Because you view yourself as a 'critic' does not mean you are not a mark. Lots of 'critics' seem to make this mistake. Every single person that posts in the wrestling forum and 90% of those actually inside the wrestling business are 'marks'.

And I rephrase you're quote to "When I was an oblivious and ignorant young child..."

I came across that pic of Kendrick with London earlier and got a kick out of it because that part of the shoot is 'pretty rofl'. The Ravishing One (not the TPWW.net/forums poster) shall return at some point

Maybe I'll steal it. How would you feel about that?

I'd have the epic mustache. Your avatar couldn't even dream of growing a mustache, let alone an epic one.

I try and watch as a fan. When I watch as a critic, I am always disappointed.

There's no way you're always dissapointed is there? I know there has been so really, REALLY tough patches in WWE's programming the last 8 years or so, but there's got to be something that, critically, you were a fan of.

Also, knowing and understanding what you do about wrestling, and having a different viewpoint now than you did as a child, where we were all likely oblivious, do you find it difficult to look at wrestling in a non critical fashion?

Personally, at this point in my wrestling fandom days, I don't think I could ever just sit back and not analyze or critique anything WWE or any other wrestling promotion presents to me.

Well thank God. I was worried for a second. First it's the epic avatar, then the vintage white font.

This what I have been trying to get across.

How can you know the ins and outs of the product - the way everything happens and why it happens that way - and still maintain a "mark/fan" viewpoint?
