You know, I don't normally criticize grammatical errors, but you're far too arrogant for someone who doesn't know the difference between "there" and "their," as well as "your" and "you're." If you're going to misuse a term, and then lump an entire group of people together into one stereotype, try to present your ideas intelligently. Thanks. By the way, in case you missed it, basically every wrestling fan who knows that it's fake is a smark, in that they're smart to the business, but still marks. Smart marks. Smarks. That's where the word comes from. It's a group with a wide variety of opinions. You seem content, however, to take a small sample of this group and paint their (or, if you prefer, there) biases as being the entire group's, which is false, especially since you fall under this same group. And I know this may shock you, but not every "smart" fan posts at TSM. In fact, I'm the only one I know in "real life" that does. This whole line of argument is flawed and not well thought out at all. Why not call it what it really is: posters on a message board, getting in a slap fight because they have a difference of opinion.

I was actually glad to hear it, because I know I've been using a lot of profanity lately, simply because, well, in real life I use a lot of profanity. I'll certainly try to cut down, there's no need for it. Anyway I'm going to sing praises. 10 for me, I loved it all. I especially dug the Axel/Crystal skit, I like Axel's character a lot, too. I'm interested to see where this goes and how Gunner fits in (hope that helps, Adam).

The important thing to remember is that because you choose to post in a silly, meaningless folder on one message board, you're obviously an idiot and of no worth to the board, or society at large, really. Wait....

Agreed. Also, will someone run this Teletubby question by the rest of us? I'm very curious.

"Smart" means knowing something about the business and how it really works. "Mark" means one who enjoys wrestling. We're all smarks, and as long as we enjoy wrestling we all will be, and in that sense, we DON'T have a choice.

20 on the first one.

Sorry, CWM: 20. I can't imagine this is very accurate, though.

Rando, that thread was awesome. It's also a great example of what I'm talking about.

Yeah, I was never really sure when HHH hate became a smark thing, since all the casual fans I know and almost all the ones I've talked to think that HHH has really gone downhill recently and isn't very good. Admittedly, this could just be my circle of friends, although I doubt it.

I don't think Henry is a bad person or anything, he seems like a company man, and a good guy, but I still think he sucks in the ring. I think a lot of people feel that way. I don't think it has much to do with "smark myths," and more to do with Henry being slow and limited in what he does in the ring. Just because somebody's not Sabuing everything doesn't make them any good. It further needs to be stated that wrestling, like most things, is a matter of opinion and there are no doubt people who like Henry in the ring, but in a forum known for its appreciation of fast-paced matches and extensive movesets, these people are just simply going to be rare. As far as "X-Pac heat" goes, I always assumed that was just speculatory. There's no real way to tell that someone is getting booed because they're over or because they're boring, without asking each individual fan. But it's not unfair to speculate that someone who a good number of people find uninteresting could be getting that sort of heat. Conversely, it's also not fair to assume that's the case. I think both sides need to realize that.

Count me in for Jericho, although I couldn't resist voting for Portis.

Most active at night, and a very quiet forum, with maybe 30 or so regulars, and a lot of people who stop by occasionally. It's definitely not for everyone. It's a very type B place, but I think a lot of people would enjoy it if they gave it a chance. Also, being quieter, it's not as though it takes a long time to stop by. ALSO, the more people we get, the more active the board gets. We are also vampires.

My only concern is that if it merged with GC, or even if such a "junk drawer" folder were created, some of the real nonsense posts wouldn't be tolerated. That bothers me, since these usually aren't malicious and I can't see how they hurt things. But if I knew I could step into GC or this new folder and ramble about snow or my sandals, that'd be just fine. The "I'm here to save the board" and "you suck" threads can take a flying leap for all I care.

Funny, and well-written too. Nice.

Funny story, kinda. I don't think they ever pinned anything on him, but my friends and I ended up sticking him with the nickname "Serial Crapper."

But what if they actually COULD care less? Like, say, they really cared about something? For example, "I could care less about sandals." See, because I like sandals, so I could care a lot less.

Well, I have to say, I'm against this idea. There's a lot of the same in there, true; but there's also fun little threads that pop up from time to time, little nothing threads that aren't malicious or dramatic or anything, but they are stupid, and if NHB was closed, I wouldn't have a place to put those threads. WDI, sure. But I also like perusing the "content" folders here. However, without being able to just cut loose and type up some nonsense, I dunno if I'd have the impetus to keep coming back. I know there's the OAOAST, but I treat that separately from the rest of the board. In any case, NHB is basically my impetus to come here. I don't know if that makes sense or not, but it's the best way I can explain it. At the very least, change it to something like "Stupid Nonsense" or some such. But even if it is worthless, I don't see how it being here is so horribly awful, and it does give us a place to be just plain silly. Of course, I'd love it if more people came to WDI, but I'm not one to recruit or force the issue. Nor is that really here or there -- it just seemed to fit in the discussion. Anyway, my two cents.

OLD SCHOOL!! By the way, you should really all at least visit WDI

Obviously the aforementioned tag match, and I've got a funny little bit planned too.

I'm seriously curious. Was he a PBP, like some people are saying? I dunno, I don't care as such, but he always seemed harmless to me and so I'm wondering.

It's like the urban myth, with the dog and the peanut butter (or is that true?), but...mentally challenged.

I know I can't.

Everyone who whines "Hardcore Discussion is lame" Really ought to leave. Sorry, I know I'm stepping on gimmicks, but I studied haiku a bit in highschool. I love it.

Heh. *approves*
