I fucking hate smarks. They take all the fun out of it. Sorry to tell you this, but wrestling isn't just about workrate. If it was, Dusty Rhodes wouldn't have gotten over. It doesn't matter how smart you feel, a mark's a mark.
For all of you that don't understand how it can be loved from a pure sport perspective, check out New Japan Pro Wrestling. In Japan, it's treated like a real sport, so there's only bare bones gimmicks like "a guy that likes wrestling," "a guy with a lot of money," "a guy that is flamboyant" and "a young up-and-comer." Up until recently, all title matches started with the Japanese national anthem. Guys actually hit each other in the face, and actually mat wrestle for 30-50 minutes. Check it out on DailyMotion.
