SmarkMania III is going to be epic when Bryan rolls in off that huge 9:30 win against Sheamus.
ReplyDeleteIs it really Smarkageddon at this point or just straight up regular Fanageddon? That's what I feel like everyone is writing off with the Bryan reactions: these aren't "smarks" anymore, or a small pocket of fans in certain cities.
ReplyDeleteNo, I'M Smarkacus!
ReplyDeleteOr that huge 10 second loss against Sheamus the night before, if HHH is feeling particularly vindictive that week.
ReplyDelete"I know how to get Sheamus over! If he beats that Indy Geek Bryan, it'll prove he's better than Bryan, and all of Bryan's fans will start cheering Sheamus! It didn't work last time because Bryan was a heel, so he didn't have any fans to steal. Brilliant!" - HHH Logic
ReplyDeleteI think the segment of wrestling fans who use the internet and are exposed to 'smarky' ideas is larger than most give it credit for. Not everybody on the internet waxes poetically about it on message boards or even reads newz sites, but look at Mick Foley with half a million followers on Twitter. The majority of Facebook page comments are garbled nonsense, but a good amount of the more highly voted, and thus more visible, ones are well-written opinions. A lot of people are now at least getting exposed to smarky concepts instead of only viewing pro-wrestling on a surface level. There will always be the young kid+dutiful parent contingent at shows, but the rest of the fanbase is only going to get smarkier, and the rebellious crowds will be more and more common.
ReplyDeleteIt should be a fun train wreck to watch.
ReplyDeleteIf I was more talented I'd make a Smarkageddon youtube vid with Armageddon/The End theme song.
