Friday Night Smackdown thread, Feb. 21, 2020: Is The Fiend next?

[Kross Rhodes]

It is meaningless.....it's just like any top ten list that's made.....it's just done so others can feign outrage over someone else's exclusion......why the hell do you think it's usually done by committee?

It's clearly not or they wouldn't do it and they wouldn't air it and it wouldn't draw eyeballs and these people wouldn't talk about it.

Just because you don't care and you find it meaningless, doesn't make it so. Wrestlers wouldn't wear the rings if they were meaningless.

I agree with your general point that arguing against inductions isn't fruitful, just not the tact in which you engage your point.

The back of his head was bleeding profusely after that stupid piano spot.

That didn't happen?

I think you missed the point. Something's that fake doesn't cause some many people to consistently get hurt performing.

Wrestlers are the biggest marks of then all....smartest guy was Paul Orndorff who just sold his ring right after getting it.....it's just a gold watch every old man gets after being shown the door.

It's a hollow gesture.

I'm sorry if you have no attachments to anything, but most people aren't like that.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Also, at Deezy telling wrestlers who've actually worked the business what makes them marks.

 

[Deezy]

LOL at totally making your own forum look useless with your "you didn't work" mentality. Guess none of our opinions matter.

I also used a famous phrase Bret Hart used in his book......also used by Lance Storm on multiple occasions.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Not anymore than your it's fake so you shouldn't have an opinion on it or talk about or care about it mentality. And I didn't say you have to work to have an opinion, but it's laughable if you're gonna call wrestlers marks because they don't think their own business is fake. Your view on something you supposedly care about is incredibly cynical and most people don't view their hobbies or things they care about through a lens of not caring about it. And if you can find me a quote by Lance Storm that says wrestlers are marks for wearing their Hall of Fame rings, cool. I'll think equally as less of him as I do your view on it. And I certainly hope you don't because Lance seems like a dude who cares.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Nothing makes a wrestling forum more useless than wrestling is fake so don't talk about it or care about it.

Telling people how this shit actually works isn't saying they can't have an opinion.....the only thing laughable is not acknowledging the fact that certain folks who were willing put their bodies through torture for little pay and would continue to do it for even less money because "they love it" isn't mark shit.....that's on you.

This is a carney business, it's always has been and always will be. The entire basis of this is to take people's money.

Only thing real is the money and the miles...another direct quote.

Your view on something you supposedly care about is incredibly cynical and most people don't view their hobbies or things they care about through a lens of not caring about it.

Calling me cynical when I actually go into shows not expecting it to suck is ironic.

I like this shit that's it.......what you're describing is obsessing.....that's why fan is short for fanatic. I'm not a fan, I just like things.

And if you can find me a quote by Lance Storm that says wrestlers are marks for wearing their Hall of Fame rings, cool. I'll think equally as less of him as I do your view on it. And I certainly hope you don't because Lance seems like a dude who cares.

Changing the quote from something I didn't actually say......oh you going to act janky like that?

 

[Kross Rhodes]

You entirely told people they can't have an opinion on the Hall of Fame because it's fake. Don't try to backpedal.

 

[Bobby Barrows]

This is dumb.

I said they don't get to pick.....keep up.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Talking about money sin't the same as the Hall of Fame so your moving goal posts. And since when can't people love what they do? That's just dumb.

 

[Deezy]

This is dumb.

Stay out of it then

 

[Kross Rhodes]

I said they don't get to pick.....keep up. (Thread reply)

Which you used to say they can't talk about. I don't need to keep up. I've been here the entire time you've been trying to tell people not to care about fake fighting.

 

[Bobby Barrows]

Stay out of it then (Thread reply)

Nah. Why don't you both agree you're wrong and start watching some XFL.
