Chris Jericho said something recently that in professional wrestling there are no such thing as botches there are mistakes but there is no such thing as botch. Filming a movie a for instance actors get more then one take but in professional wrestling it is a live performance so if there are mistakes or accidents that take place there is nothing that can be done. A huge issue and I have never liked it but fans use words and phrases that they have no idea what they mean. They do it because they feel as if they are in on what the product is in a business that they are not a part not to discount fans because without the fans there is no business but I really wish instead of trying to be "smart" or in on what the genre is enjoy it. I disagree with Dave Meltzer I do not believe that promoters of the past belived that the fans were suckers and that they just took their money and ran along. Hence: what has become a derogatory term "mark" which it used to not be. I am not asking fans to think of it has being "real" but I really wish fans could just enjoy it instead of trying to figure out and second guess everything that is being done. I just wish that philosophy would go away. I know Dave Melzter has said he always looked at it as a business and that those who never saw his newsletter has beneficial to the business were the easiestly mislead. Now I competly disagree with that those who did not see his newsletter has beneficial to the business were the easiestly mislead he has a right to his prospective and I have a right to my own opinion. As I have said many times during this project watching and being a fan of professional wrestling have been the best times of my life. I love it not just how good the matches were but those larger than life chracters which I prefer those personalities turned up to a thousand so that way they are not acting. Those personalities turned up to a thousand is what captured both my imagination caught my attention and made me a fan. But again fans can do what they wish this is not that important to me but I do love it and I want to preserve those aspects that made professional wrestling such a unique and different form of entertainment. I want to send my best to former TNA/Impact Wrestling announcer: Don West I love your authentic passion for both professional wrestling selling baseball cards and everything you do I love you and I am praying for a full recovery for you. Also The Professor Mike Tenay I always enjoyed when he would answer fan questions your knowledge of the industry and your commentary with Don West. Mike Tenay is one of my favorite announcers in professional wrestling I hope he is not disenchanted with the business. Both TNA/Impact Wrestling founder: and current WWE talent Jeff Jarrett and the current: Impact Wrestling Vice President of talent relations Scott D'amore I love both of you and I wish the absolute best for all of you and Impact Wrestling because fans need it. Because much like AEW they have a niche fan base which is different from the WWE because the WWE is a world wide brand but that does not mean that there is not room for different companies and also different prospectives. There is not just one set system because what works for one promotion and group of fans will not work for a another group of fans. There were fans who thought Don West as an announcer was to over the top but to me it was his genuine reaction to what he was seeing. Jim Ross is another example: where he was genuinely reacting to what he was seeing as an announcer as: JR put "it he becomes a fan when asked why he gets excited? I get caught up in his emotion. But again there are a group of fans who believe they are to smart to buy into this so they are going to just focus on the in ring performances which is fine I don't care. But in my opinion in the past promoters never believed that the fans were stupid the reason the promoters were so secretive if you will they knew that if fans caught just a slight of information they would not enjoy it or perceive it differently and think of this form of entertainment as acting and playing a part which unfortunaly has happened instead of what it was intended to be which in my opinion which were not "chracters" they were themselves their personalities were just exaggerated or magnified to the absolute maximum. On the other hand Dave Meltzer and his fans will say fans of the past who brought into what they were seeing were being coned and fooled but that was never the case if someone gets lost or buys into a play no one bats an eye but if fans buy into any aspect of professional wrestling expect how good the in ring performances were not to discount that because I love that aspect of the genre and that is definitely a part of it but there are other elements such as: promos and personalities that connect with the fans. I have never heard any other form of entertainment dissected and over thought than professional wrestling I think it has ruined the illusion. I think I know what it is because unlike a play or a movie viewers accept that the actors are playing a part but in professional wrestling there still are fans who are not sure what is real and what is not but my thought is who cares? I am thrilled that AEW has allowed Christan Cage to be himself he is finally cutting promos and getting genuine reactions from the audience. Well I should not have said that Christan Cage is being allowed to be himself what I meant was there is something inside of Jay Reso magnified or with his volume turned up. Christan Cage in AEW is getting genuine reactions from the audience after betraying Jungle Boy whom he saw as a mentor. Now that to me is more important than how good the matches are the personalities who are able to connect with an audience is what this forum of entertainment is premised. Examples: Handsome Jimmy Valiant and The American Dream Dusty Rhodes. It is a morality play in a sense. There will be fans on social media who will say that I am suggesting that they can not have an opinion I am not suggesting that but what I am suggesting for fans to reel in a little bit and please do not make the assumption that all of you know as much or more then the people who work in the offices and talent who perform it because of something that they read. Here is an example: I read recently a comment by a fan who said that Eddie Kingston of AEW needs to work on his in ring work because he misses and botches moves and my question is how does that fan know that? But that fan has a right to their opinion.
