Favorite anti-smark phrase

[Guest JMA]

Anti-smarks. I'm sure we've all seen them at one time or another. These self-hating smarks live to piss off the same IWC they themselves are a member of. While sometimes they bring up good points, most of the time all they care about is riling up so-called "Established Posters." Typically they will start a thread expressing an opinion that is contrary to the majority of the posters on said board. Different opinions are good, yet the difference is that they do it just for the reaction.

 

These "anti-smarks" (who, oddly enough, ARE smarks) use many similar sayings or phrases. In this poll, vote for your favorite of these phrases.

I voted 'If you don't like it, change the channel' because it's SO damn true.

[Guest Dave O'Neill, Journalist]

I voted "Deal With It", because I used it nine billion times justifying being an Orton Fan who thinks Paul London doesn't deserve a job

"His mic skills suck" can be applied to several wrestlers today.

"You wouldn't be bitching if [blank] did it."

How many times have we heard this lately especially from Orton fans?

An 'anti-smark' thread. How deliciously elitist.

So you're an anti-smark for not agreeing with people. And some people wonder why the WWE folder is seen as shit. And how do you know why people post something and why they don't. If I were to post a thread that's not negative about Orton, I wouldn't be doing it to rile people up. I'd do it because it'd be my opinion.

That's because we get thread after thread of 'Orton fucked up', and then when Eddie Guerrero supposedly botches three moves in a match, and one thread is created...for every legitimate point about Eddie deserving le-way, there's an over-smark whining about how Eddie is some sort of messiah.

Man, if you're part of the 'intelligent non-anti-smarks', I'm glad people see me as an anti-smark.

See though, you'd post reasons and have an explanation about why you like Orton. Lots of people do it and just post:

 

"Hey fags Orton rocks and Benoit sukz mmmkay he can't do anything on the mic and he is small"

 

Or some nonsense to that effect.

[King Cucaracha 0]

Well, yeah...if someone did that...

 

 

 

 

 

...although, Benoit is small.

I'm pretty sure his neck is bigger than your leg.

Benoit's neck is probably bigger then most girls' waists...I mean that thing's a monster

[Art Sandusky 0]

I've been here for nearly two years myself, but I sympathize with the Anti-Smarks MUCH more than the negative nellies in the WWE folder.

 

It isn't just newbies telling people to try and enjoy the product.

I'm somewhat of an antismark, although I'd prefer to be known as just a mark. I vote for "Deal with it." cause really... what can you say to that?

[Guest JMA]

No one is forcing you to post in this thread. If you don't like it...leave.

 

Looks like the anti-smarks can't take their own advice...

Well...I do have pretty fat legs...but that's besides the point.

 

 

By the way, the above and the previous post were actually sarcastic...you know, incase anyone actually thought I was bashing Benoit for being small.

 

 

 

I'm sure some people would.

 

You know, just to stir up 'controversy'.

Swing an' a miss buddy. I posted in this thread because I wanted to, it's not that I don't 'like' it...there no like or dislike about it anymore, because it's so boringly typical of this board nowadays...and despite being an 'anti-smark', I can't remember EVER telling anyone to leave if they don't like something.

 

I think I've said 'If you don't like Orton, maybe you should turn over so the ratings will go down' before. Does that count, oh mighty one?

Please, no baseball references. Let's not go down THAT road. It seems you posted here just to complain about the thread. How does that make you different than some smarks who are too critical of WWE? You could make the comparison that TSM is WWE while the detractors are the angry smarks. What exactly have YOU personally done to improve the WWE folder (besides complaining, that is)?

 

I will admit some posters are far too negative here (especially in the WWE folder). But it greatly annoys me when people just post there to deficate on the folder and the forum itself. These are the guys who tell everyone to "change the channel if you don't like it." Yet they post at a forum they hate.

 

That's all I have to say about the matter. Carry on.

[The Amazing Rando 0]

I am not anti-smark in the least... but like the first post states... i have posted different opinions to put them out in the eye of the board and to not try and get reactions.

 

As was stated with someone like Eddie botching moves... it's the same thing as Jericho doing it a while back... it happens to everyone... but it doesn't happen to guys like Eddie/Jericho CONSISTENTLY enough that it should change our views on them. Everyone makes mistakes...but some make them too consistently for the IWC to not notice and make points about.

 

 

I'm not trying to mess with people right now either... I don't look at the WWE with Smark-colored glasses ... but because of the smark mentality I do have...it does make some things stick out more than others...but when confronted with FACTS (and not anti-smark propagandha) I will at least take notice of what those facts represent.

With all due respect...DUH!

 

I understand who you're complaining at, but at the same time, generalising 'anti-smarks' will bring in a lot more people. I'm supposedly an 'anti-smark' because I don't have the same opinion has most people. I realise that you're moaning at the controversialist ones, but still...gerneralising people doesn't help. Generalising smarks, which I tend to do, isn't good too...not all 'smarks' think Benoit would be a better champion than Eddie, for example.

 

As for changing the folder...I think that's beyond one person's reach. I mean, I've tried putting sensible opinions across on subjects, and then read 5 posts after it ignoring them for 'Orton should be jobbing on Heat...oh wait, he has no heat, so it wouldn't work, so fire him.' And after all...this is one thread. The number of Orton threads...two a week? Three a week. And then there's the threads complaining about Benoit's Wrestlemania World Title shot. That's about double the Orton ones.

 

But, yes...I see your point. I see who you're unhappy at, but I'm sure there's others who just see 'no Orton bitching' and label someone an anti-smark, because the definition of 'smark' is becoming more and more AS style extreme by the month.

[Guest SP-1]

Well, yeah...if someone did that...

Dama, that's the best post in this entire thread. It actually made me laugh out loud.

[Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes]

I hate all of those damn lines, so I used my special system to pick the change the channel if you don't like it one.

 

 

 

 

My Special system is randomly pointing with my eyes closed.

[Guest Salacious Crumb]

Monday was a good example of how anti-Smarks bug the hell out of me. We all had a good laugh at Orton botching the RKO then they descend into the thread with "it's not Orton's fault it's all Jericho" or "If it was Benoit you wouldn't be saying anything." Then we have that idiot posting about how we should be bashing Eddie for botched spots on SD before the show even airs. And other assorted stupidity as certain people seem to be coming up with every reason in the book why Benoit shouldn't be getting a title shot. Or your a sheep for not likeing Triple H.

 

Now I don't mind a difference of opinion at all. It's these people that take a position just to be against the "Smarks". Being the only one saying something doesn't make you cool, unique or better than anyone else.

[Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes]

Triple H is the best damn wrestler today! Chris Benoit isn't good enough to polish his boots the damn midget canadian. If you don't like it, then don't watch! [/Anti-Smark mode]

No pretty much the most annoying thing is the generalizing. People run in and are like "You smarks all think this!"

When in reality it's really just the loudest that think that. Then the people that immiediately draw attention to themselves by coming in and saying 'Well I disagree.....OMG am I allowed to do that!? Are all you sheep going to get angry!?" Dude....nobody gives a fuck if you disagree.....but when you act like an asshole by doing that then you'll get shit for it.

That's the biggest problem is that the people that come in to disagree are usually total assholes about it(besus for example). And they're usually the ones that cause problems.

Another thing that annoys me is these assholes that come in and act like there's some kind of mother hive brain going on here.....look.......I think what I think because of me. Not because everyone else thinks it. And I know I'm not the only one. That right there is just downright irritating.

So it's fine to disagree....but everyone that disagrees around here has to act like a complete hypocritical asshole about it all.

Especially when they complain about smarks complaining. Or they say "if you don't like it then don't watch it!" yet read our posts and complain very loudly about our posts.

Besides if you're "smart" to the business, which everyone on here is then you are a smart mark...thus making you a smark. Everyone on this board is a smark.

[Guest Goodear]

As probably one of those people that others consider a anti-smark allow me to retort. I find the simplest discriptive of the populace of the WWE folder to primarily dislike the promotion or, at the very least, certain members of the promotion. Why it is considered 'smart' to hate everything, I am not quite sure but for the sake of the argument, lets leave the labels the way they are.

 

Quite frankly, the reason I'm 'anti-smark' is because it has always struck me as quite frankly a pretty moronic outlook that seems to reward static feeling regardless of the performances that are actually taking place on the television screen. Someone is deemed either good or bad and are thereafter treated either like the second coming of Jesus or a analogous evil fixture who sometimes deserves death. Once Randy Orton was deemed to be a 'suckbag', it has become impossible to discuss him in any sort of context. In fact, you can't really mention RAW without certain posters telling you a dozen times just how much they don't like him. Heck, look at the SD! thread and you'll see one poster bring up Orton something like 6 times despite no one else talking about him in the least.

 

Now on the face of such overwhelming negativity, it is a simple human reaction for people to look at it and go, "well you shits have gone totally fucking overboard" and post a contradictory passage. And yes, some people take it too far but they stand out only because there are so many extremists on the other side of the fence. When five posters are trying to tell you that Orton is the worst wrestler in history, the lone person saying he's the best seems all the more out there when in fact, both are completely off their fucking rockers.

It would also be helpful if "smarks" would stop ignoring certain facts are changing history to suit their biases.

 

Let's look at Mark Henry for example.

 

Smark Myth: He sucks

 

Real Fact: At about the same time, both Mark Henry and Big Show were sent down to OVW to lose weight. Mark Henry had lost over 100 punds and improved in every way from wrestling to promos. Big Show was allowed back despite still having weight trouble. Henry was left behind. Vince wanted to get mainstream attention again. He oders Henry to regain the weight to compete in the strongman contest. After all of the weight is back, he is put back on TV and is never sent back to OVW for re-conditioning. He is just kept off of TV and suddenly throw into the racist gimmick with Long.

 

Smark Myth: He has no heat. Unless it's X-Pac heat.

 

Real Fact: First, X-Pac heat does not exist. It's only used when previously heatless wrestlers which the IWC dislikes, suddenly begin drawing heel heat. Henry is getting over pretty well, despite not getting ANY mic time. Teddy Long is like Paul Heyman, a great manager, but he puts the heat on HIMSELF. It's not intentional, but he's just so darned entertaining. But yes, Henry is drawing heel heat.

 

See, it's things like that that draw out "anti-Smarks." When it's constant unwarranted bitching, eventually SOMEONE will get tired of it.
