Often that actually COULD be a solution to a stagnant or limited performers problems.

Burying people is wrong, I hate HHH so much.
Punk should be the champ of all 3 brands.

Let's rag on Cena for being a horrible wrestler
Now let's applaud Khali!

On WSX: It's on MTV, has 3 wrestlers I don't like, I'm not going to watch it it must be awful!

WWE does something silly "STUPIDEST SHIT EVER"
Chikara/Hustle does the exact same thing "FUNNIEST SHIT EVER"

wha?

"American wrestling sucks but I watch it every week, 4 times a week!"

"Let's love a mid-card wrestler, no matter how new he is to company, and say he should be champion, but hate him the second he makes it big." (i.e. TRIPLE H!)

My new favorite..."Chris Benoit was a great wrestler, I don't care what he did!"

Triple H and John Cena are the two best examples of this.

And this is more of a WrestleCrap cliche than a Smark cliche, but "Let's get behind a random hoss for no reason! Snitsky! Hoyt! Knox!" (But for the record, I LOVE this cliche ;D)

WWE sucks so much, they're ruining wrestling!!! I watch all their shows weekly.

[Twinkies Rule! (so does Tacos)]

They don't watch Raw for the show itself, instead they criticise everything that happens
e.g look it's John Cena, but instead of listening to what he's saying I am SO totally change the channel! TAKE THAT VINCE!!!!

People who consider something that hasn't happened yet the worst idea ever and that it will turn viewers off. Or people who will jump to criticise Khali's Title Reign before they've seen how it plays out. Wait and see what happens before declaring it crap.

Last year, within a minute of Edge beating Cena for the title at NYR, there was a thread saying that he was the Worst Champion Ever. I'm not exaggerating, it was that fast.

I remember that!!

Actually thats my strategy for the Diva Searches. I immediately change the channel whenever their little skits come on.

The IWC term, like, a lot of people say that it doesn't exist. But, like children, casual fans, hardcore marks or whatever, it's a portion of the audience. That's what it is generally. I feel anyway.

I think the IWC absolutely exists. It's the fans who converse on the internet.

But I hate when people try to make it out as this cult who all think, feel, and want the same things. Just a cheap way to bash smarks.

The IWC does exist, but it gets blown out of proportion. The IWC is almost like a label for the loudest and whiniest internet smarks.

Actually the terms "mark and smark" irritate me. Why can't we all be fans? I have never considered myself a "smark". Im just a fan. It also irritates me when these terms get used as an insult. As if being a "mark" is a bad thing, as if its "childish"

Welcome to the IWC, where workrate>a 7 year old child.

[Action Bathturd]

Before: More restholds, Randy?

Now: ORTON'S GOING TO BECOME WHC! MARK OUT MARK OUT MARK OUT!

As somebody on a forum I use to frequent once said "Some people say cliches are overused". I'll Just let that sink in.

Agreed, it's like any sterotype. It's not respresentative of everyone, but it has it's roots in the truth.

Obviously not everyone here is living in their moms basement and watching ROH DVDs all day. But let's not pretend that there's not a good portion who come pretty close.

And the whole Smark/ Anti-Smark thing goes both ways. Several times where I've disagreed with posts and immediately been labeled an "Anti-Smark trying to be a rebel".

Smarks saying that they're not smarks is annoying.

I don't like when people say they ARE smarks, like they're better than regular fans.

That's not what they're saying, though. They're not better, just different.

People that think one screw-up warrents "OMGZ HE's th SuXXorz".

It's fairly easy to tell who is an anti-smark. They're the ones who constantly come into a thread and take the less popular view SOLELY in order to stand out. People who really do have unpopular views aren't as easy to predict.

Yeah, but the whole "revolutionary" thing gets old just as quick as bashing the product. So its a moot point.

Here's another one. Every time RAW gets a rating over 4.0 the company is suddenly popular again.

The misinterpretation of the term "resthold". Randy Orton is probably the best wrestler in the WWE right now I would say to be honest. Just, the way he walks, talks, moves, slides around the ring like a snake, his facial expressions, he just has a lot of unlikeable qualities. Orton puts on the chinlocks and headlocks a lot of the time so he can wear down his opponent. He also beats on down on his opponents and grinds down on his opponent. He's rarely ever actually "resting" in a "rest hold".

So yeah, Randy Orton and that "resthold" nonsense. I mean, seriously. He's smarter then most wrestlers when it comes to wrestling, he knows how to get the crowd to hate him and to react. He's smarter then all the wrestlers who do so many crazy things, and just get the fireworks reaction.

*glass cieling breaks*

thank you!

If a wrestler you don't like holds a title, then that title means nothing
