There is a compete difference between knowledge and experience and the main issue because we live in the age of information I can Google anything from the past but I have no experience and the disconnect is confusing knowledge with experience. Even if someone has any access to knowledge that may not even be true. The internet can be and is extremely dangerous I am hoping that this can correct itself. For example: if I Google everything about being a doctor do I assume that I know more than a doctor absolute not. When someone goes to medical school they are not immediately a doctor they have to go through residency to get that experience. That is how important experience is. A little bit of knowledge is extremely dangerous it always has been and it always will be. I have to admit that I was wrong when I first became a fan of professional wrestling it was during the Attitude Era and ECW I can say that letting the fans in on what this is destroyed the business and main thing is the assumption that they have more experience than the performers wo perform it. I do not understand modern wrestling I do not understand what draws a fan into the product is it flips dives because everything that is intrinsic to it is gone so there is no reason in mind to have this business existent. When Dave Melzer calls any fan who does not understand AEW stupid that will never attract new fans. I am not sure how to feel about Dave because he does have a great body of work whatever your opinion could be. The reason the business was protected had nothing to do with pulling the wool over fans eyes or thinking the fans are stupid it had to do with respecting the fans now some may think that Kayfabe was insulating the fans so depending on the fans view that is their choice but that was the mindset. I could read everything about baseball and I could be a fan but I would never tell a baseball player how to play because I have no experience I could write about it but I still have no experience doing it. There are a group of people I am not sure how old or young they are but I am going to make the assumption that they are young because they have discovered Tropic Thunder for the first time and now they want to go after Robert Downey JR for wearing black face in Tropic Thunder man we have really run out of problems. This is what happens when everyone has a platform and unfortunaly it will get worse and it is why I am checked out. No one who has any sense should care about these opinions because if they are truly “offended” they are incredibly weak people and I really do believe they are actually offended. They just want to have the power to get rid of anything they do not like. I have no problem calling myself a “mark” because in professional wrestling and in carnival days that is wat they were. Now the term “mark” or calling someone a “mark” is a derogatory term because I think because of the newsletters they are not giving their opinion they are telling their readers what they should or should not focus it is why I have no problem letting this business go because there is absolutely no reason to do this because it will only appeal to a niche audience. I have no problem saying that the WWE philosophy works because they re educated the audience on what this is supposed to be and I give them credit for that because it opened the WWE to the mainstream but unfortunaly the rest of the industry has suffered and will never recover. The reason why is the rest of the others who enjoy AEW for example: will not allow any other fans who do not go along exactly with what they enjoy which is why I have no problem letting the business die because of what the talent and many of the fans management and newsletters have done to it. The veterans who are angry about this they have every right to be because they were given a healthy business and they competly made a mockery of the business by changing what the “concept of the business is. Imagine if this happened in any other sport or form of entertainment it probably would not happen because they had respect for those who laid the foundation of whatever endeavor they are trying to be a part. For those who think they are just playing a “character” or who view themselves as performance artists or professional wrestling as community theater and do not know any better I am not sure how they got into the business but anyone who knows the difference and accepts that this is what it is I have no respect for you. Anyone who is in the business and that does not have respect for professional wrestling I hate you with everything in me because they are disrespecting those who protected and took the business seriously. I do not blame the fans because if the talent tell the fans that it is okay to view the artform this way that is their fault. This business does not make sense to not have any sort of “Kayfabe” or mystery to it.
