Since Smackdown was in Albany, N.Y. last Tuesday at the Times Union Center, Jim Ross who is the commentator for the Smackdown brand, blogged his thougths about that night. While he is proud of the show and loved how that show turned out, he didn’t like the way the fans reacted toward the show.
J.R. wrote in his blog:
About 99% of the wrestling fans I have met over the years are good folks and are nice to be around. The other 1% of which some were represented in Albany Tuesday night can be a real pain in the ass. They can’t stand it if those within ear shot don’t know that they read the wrestling newsletters and spend ample time on wrestling websites. They love to spout “insider” info especially personal items that makes one embarrassed to be a fan during these uncomfortable times. I could care less if fans rib me about being an OU Football fan as that’s old news but when these alleged, educated (I’ll use that term loosely) fans are so insecure that they want to be a part of the show and would rather make jackasses of themselves or yell at Tazz and me than watch the show then there is something wrong.

Welcome to the real world J.R. It is not the 80’s anymore. Everybody knows the news of behind the scenes of WWE that aren’t posted on WWE.com, ’cause that’s what wrestling fans do, they read inside information and spend time reading news on sites like Pwinsider, 1wrestling, etc. Which are called “smart fans”. The fans that know everything behind the wrestling industry. WWE seems to be uncomfortable with the “smart fans” but that’s the way life is. The internet is a good tool to discover WWE secrets and it seems to piss WWE off. WWE should appreciate all fans that support the company.
The Albany, N.Y. Smackdown will be aired on MyNetworkTV tonight at 8 p.m. I’ll be watching.
