Oh, the IWC

The Internet Wrestling Community. Where to start?

I am a member of it, obviously, but so many times I am left with my hand on my forehead, quoting the Miz, "Really!?"

Everyone is easily entitled to their opinion but in some forums, I read ridiculous accusations, and far fetched booking ideas.

How many times have you seen someone say, "Wrestler A should be champion, because they are the best and Wrestler B annoys me."

Fair enough, but the follow up usually is where it goes even more into a joke. "Wrestler A should put wrestler B on the table, and have a Legend come out and beat up Wrestler B, then Wrestler A should get a ladder, and do a 1080 spin flip on them. Oh and there should be barbed wire everywhere."

Okay, so maybe there hasn't been that exact idea thrown out there, but there's been pretty damn close.

We look into things too much, think we know everything from time to time, and know how it should all be.

But we are so wrong when it comes to that.

The clear example is last Friday on Smackdown. The whole Orton and Christian thing. I was mad, yea I wanted Christian to hold it longer, but I watched it, and enjoyed the match and am really excited to see where they take this. I didn't boycott the show, nor send a hate tweet to Randy Orton nor Joey Styles (really? why pick on poor Joey) because it's scripted television, and Christian and the rest of them know where it's leading.

I asked my 7 year old nephew if he watched Smackdown and he said "Yea, Randy Orton is the new World Heavyweight Champion." I asked what he thought of that. His response was, "Well, I was cheering for them both, so it was good. I really liked the match."

Kids may cheer John Cena, but they know best. They're a clean slate who hasn't been brain washed or manipulated by a smart mark stating an opinion as if they're a vet to the business, when really all they have is a computer, internet access and a log in name.

We need to skip over the conspiracies, get over the disappointments and story lines we don't agree with, and just enjoy a great product. Be it, WWE, TNA (ugh) ROH or any other organization. Cheer who you like, boo who you don't, and just sit back, relax and be a pro wrestling fan.
