Yeah, the way he looks at it, if you dare to have an opinion about a PRODUCT that depends on FANS, you're a smark and a big joke.
His comment about "those who have never laced up" giving an opinion. I'm sorry, jackass, but being born disabled, as is my case, meant I could never "lace up". I've an opinion on whether or not we should do anything in space, moron, but I haven't put on the astronaut gear, so my opinion is a big joke I guess.
Point is, we spend money on this product and keep it afloat. Oh, you say Raw is free? No, it isn't. We have to endure the commercials that pay for Raw as well. That's the nature of TV.
If wrestlers want us "smarks" to stop forming opinions, then I guess it's up to the village idiot who still believes it's all real to be it's entire viewing base. A crowd full of "Eugenes". A crowd full of little kids. Guess what, if these little kids had a choice between no more crappy cartoons or wrestling, they'd drop viewing wrestling. Yes, Wrestling would be destroyed by Barney, the fucking dinosaur. How's that for your egos?
Another point is smarks have kept the Undertaker persona alive. We tend to judge on hard work, performance, kayfabe, and all factors. In short, smarks are the diehard fans that keeps wrestling alive. If not, Undertaker would have retired long ago due to fans disinterest.
Let's look at the Undertaker from a non smarks opinion. You show up for one match, maybe 2 a year. A casual watcher would be wondering who in the hell you are and why should they care. "Who is this discrepit old man pretending to be a dead man come to life?". "Why is a wrestler who wrestles almost every single night losing to this?"
Want "smarks" to shut up? Then get used to no reactions at your so called heroes or even the heels. You could run the whole show with comedy relief and it would have the same reaction. I guess WWE would run the piped in cheers and boos full time.
