Wonder?

 I really enjoy Eddie Edwards with his Singapore Cain known as: Kenny which was bestowed  upon him given to him by Tommy Dreamer after their House of Hardcore rules match at Slammiversary 2018.   But unfortunaly Killer Kross broke Kenny at the 2300 arena in Phillipdhia Pennsylvania but ECW and hardcore legend: The Sandman gave him a new Singapore Cain called Kenny 2.0.   Which I have to admit when Killer Kross broke Kenny that really bothered me because that Singapore Cain known as: Kenny was Eddie's family in his mind.   But I am glad that Eddie got his revenge against Kross in a first blood  match at Slammiversary 2019 in Dallas Texas.      I do agree with Jim Cornete I wish more fans would "wonder be kids on Christmas morning again that's what's  been lost that is what drew me in as a fan was the "wonder".   But the business is often  broken down and newsletters telling fans that this  is what fans should enjoy and the way they should view the product and ignore others.   Jim made the comparison to magic when was the last time you saw a magician give away their tricks?   Or how if  Jim ever goes to see the Rolling Stones he does not want to know how everything is done he wants to wonder and say Wow how did they do that? That's great.!   The reason I bring this up I completely agree but unfortunaly for me and other fans I am not sure that can be rediscovered the only way it can is if the talent and more importantly the fans rediscover it.   This video with Jim Cornete is an RF Video released in 2003.   I like that Eddie Edwards with Honor No More which is a take off of Ring of Honor he still uses Kenny the kendo stick and with Eddie's past with Ring of Honor that makes sense because he feels betrayed by Impact Wrestling but I like that he still uses Kenny the Kendo stick.   I am not the only one who has discussed toxic wrestling fandom and how that is turning fans away many on the internet have blamed AEW but I can say for certain that  is not the reason for this it has been going on years before AEW began the rise of AEW might have made it worse but in my opinion it is unfair to blame the rise of AEW just because they have extremally passionate fans there is nothing wrong with that and I have no problem with that.  I think the main problem are the fans who read the insider newsletters because I think they believe they have some secret knowledge that other fans do not have.   I do not think there is anything  inherently  wrong with reading newsletters but those newsletters are not just reporting the news they are telling their readers how to think and view the product.   So what is happening if anyone who tries to  just enjoy "the "show"  so to speak and buy into it like myself we are called names made fun accused of "trolling" by those fans who have that "secret knowledge" I do not blame them for being so passionate in fact I encourage it but so much of these inside newsletters make me not want to be a fan anymore  because it is so exhausting.   The biggest issue I do not think Dave Meltzer understands this prospective in fact the way he interacts with fans on the internet criticizing and making fun of fans who disagree with him is extremally problematic.   Jim Ross was asked about the conflict between Dave Meltzer and Jim Cornete who is wrong?   He said no one is wrong because all they are doing is expressing an opinion how can expressing an opinion be wrong?   I disagree with JR because this goes far beyond just expressing an opinion because Jim Cornete was just trying to not have a feud but Dave is so fantastical about his prospectives he takes everything so personally and that he can not stand it that Jim does not like the kind of wrestling that he thinks everyone should like he takes that as an insult in being an expert he can not understand that!   I do not understand why Dave Meltzer goes out of his way to knock Jim Cornete in his newsletter saying that he is out of touch I do not understand why he does this?   But it turns me and many others who love this away.   This fandom really needs to stop the passion does not need to go away.    I think and believe that because Dave Meltzer is so fanatical about his opinions which again there is nothing wrong with that but it rubs off to his readers and makes them fanatical.   Where absolutely no other prospective is tolerated I think we all need to keep everything in prospective about what is really important.   Because if it is not all this will do is turn passionate fans who have a different prospective away which will be a true shame.   Every fan should be able to express any and every opinion they want.   I think the more prospectives there are the better  those fans might learn something.   The point I think it is worth making having just one prospective of any kind is short sided.   If any of this sounds like an attack of any kind it is not meant to be.   I know there defeatedly will be fans who will say well I guess that means  I just can't have an opinion that pity party  route which I am not suggesting that I want to hear the good and the bad but what I am truly bothered by the tribalism it needs to go.   There are always those who want to ruin others party and my point is get a life!   Now there are always people on the internet who will take what I am saying to be an insult it is just ridiculous they can say whatever they want just stop the personal attacks that is what needs to stop but those on the internet do not understand this well I think they do they just want to play victims everytime they are called out or told to leave everyone alone.   I really would just like to "wonder" that goes not just for professional wrestling that goes for rock'n roll movies etc.   I know I am weird but don't you want to know everything about everything because we all know all of this is not real?   My answer: is absolutely not I want an escape for a little while.   But I know there will be those who will say I just do not want anyone to have an opinion no I want everyone to have an "opinion" I just want myself and everyone else to be left alone.   If I know how every musican and band does everything I know I would not enjoy it has much because I know how everything is done.
