Well now, I see you've come back for more of my thoughts on the world
of wrestling today and it pleases me that so many of you whom read my
first column responded so highly about the issue at hand. Well first of
all, I'd like to say for those that felt it was neccessary to send in
their daily hate mail about my thoughts and opinions on Tough Enough, I
have to say that I could care less because if you didn't like me as
you've claimed so in your daily e-mails sent on the hour, then you would
not be reading my column which is what I find so funny! Well I guess
moving right along here in this months issue, I thought that it would be
interesting to see where this next issue will take us and it's going to
discuss the issuse concerning the fans of professional wrestling. Oh
how this will be quite interesting to see where my feelings stand here.
I've only been a professional wrestler for three years, and I know that
I have not seen it all in this business just yet when it comes to the
wrestling fans, but I know I've seen enough when I walk out to the ring
seeing fans sit at ringside with a notepad and a pen ready to criticize
us as if they were being paid unsurpassed amounts of money thinking
they were the Siskle and Ebert of professional wrestling. This is what we
call SMARKS which is a term used for a "Smart Fan" and I don't honestly
think in my right mind that any fan is smart to the business of
professional wrestling, because they think by having watched "NBC Pro
Wrestling Exposed" or having read spoilers off the internet that they're all of
the fucking sudden, Vince McMahon, and trust me they're not close to
it. These people disgust the hell out of me because they don't quite
seem to grab the concept of coming to a show for fun. When these people
take their notes and post them on the net, they're doing nothing more
but slandering those whom have taken time out of their busy schedules to
come and entertain those who paid their hard earned money. It's
fucking sick. They act as if they know how to do it better and when they're
given the opportunity of getting into the ring to show us how in the
fuck it's supposed to be done, they run with their damn tail in between
their legs with a huge yellow stripe running down their back because
they know they wouldn't be able to back up their hip deep pile of
bullshit. I think what pisses me off the most about many wrestling fans today
is that they're spoiled mostly in part because of the WWE presentation
of professional wrestling. Though I'm not taking anything away from
the WWE, but these people have no idea what in the hell professional
wrestling is all about and they never will because of their lack of
appreciation. As independents, we're out there in the ring to achieve our
dream and to entertain you to the best of our ability. I've seen guys who
damn near kill themselves to make the crowd pop and when they do
something as death defying as a Kryptonite Krunch off the top rope, they
don't even cheer. They just sit there like they're watching a bowling
tournament and it's just absolutely horrid. Call yourself a smark if you
will, but there is no such thing as a smart mark and if you don't like
the fact that I'm out here telling it to you like it is, well then keep
sending your hate mail this way because quite frankly I don't really
give a shit as I laugh everytime. Such is the case from my last column
when [email protected] told me that and I quote, "...if you're not
in the WWE or Tough Enough then you're not a wrestler. You're nothing
more than a loser." Well to respond to him, I'll say this and I'll say
it to everyone who felt so offended when I spoke my mind about it.
To whom it may concern,
I don't give a rats ass if I offended you because you believe that the
only way of becoming a professional wrestler is by jacking off on video
telling the WWE why you should be on their show wasting their time and
most of all, there money. The only way of becoming a properly trained
professional wrestler is by attending a professional wrestling school.
If you're a backyarder, then I understand why you have no common sense
in that huge melon on top of your neck. DUH!
Though I do know people from Tough Enough whom have proven their love
for this business and have decided to take the right path in obtaining
their dream, I'm not fond of the show because it allows marks to have an
opportunity that they never earned to begin with and it takes
opportunities away from well deserving individuals whom have paid their dues
over and most importantly EARNED IT. Many of you are in it because you
think there is money to be made and guess what, there's not! Unless
you're something special and you can put 80,000 asses in the seats, then
they're not going to want to look at you. You have to know how to
wrestle. It's not about running your mouth spitting Rock's catch phrases
over and over again. It's about whether or not you can carry a match and
if you know what in the hell you're doing inside of that ring. But
like you shitheads honestly care about all that. With that said, if you
have the heart and the love for this business, my best advice is attend
a professional wrestling school and if you're only doing it because you
think you'll be rich and famous after being on Tough Enough, then do us
a favor and don't waste our fucking time because you're living in a
fairy tale.
Back to the subject about the wrestling fans if I may also add some
more input before I end this column for the month, I've had the pleasure
of wrestling in areas where the fans have nothing but the utmost respect
for the boys and girls who go to the ring and put on the best
performance possible. It doesn't matter if you're a heel or a babyface, these
people have nothing but respect. It seems the further South you go, the
better the fans are. It is these people who make what we do all worth
the while and worth all the dedication and sacrifices we make. If a
fan holds a chair in their hand ready to hit you over the head because
you told him to wash his ass or you called his woman a heffer, you're
doing your job and they love it to death. I guess a friend once told me
that like everything in life evolves, so does professional wrestling
whether it be for the better or for the worse, but just as long there are
fans out there who appreciate what we put ourselves through out there
to entertain you, I'll always have my fair share of respect for you as
you have for us. With that, I will close this column for the month and
next month, and if you have something that you would like for me to
address my thoughts on, please feel free to e-mail me at [email protected]
and subject the letter "Thoughts" and I will personally answer all
e-mails. Until then, God Bless the USA!
