Professional wrestling is built entirely around casual viewers and casual live event walk-ins, not internet smarks.Dirt sheet rumors, "insider dirt," and meltzer ratings are often deliberate misinformation leaked by wrestlers to work internet fans.High-flying acrobatics and 45-minute "workrate bangers" do not sell tickets or generate television revenue nearly as effectively as simple, character-driven soap opera promos.Promoters and bookers do not care about who "deserves" a title run based on athletic skill; championships are purely promotional props given to whoever moves merchandise and draws TV ratings.The wrestlers themselves often mock and actively dislike smark fan culture, chants, and insider vocabulary far more than casual fans do. Most smark darlings are placed in the midcard because they lack broad mainstream charisma and look unconvincing against larger drawing talent. Star ratings, crowd pop volumes, and internet acclaim do not translate into financial success, corporate sponsorships, or sustained business growth.Wrestling matches are actively choreographed step-by-step around television commercial breaks, camera cuts, and sponsor placements rather than pure in-ring storytelling. The majority of casual fans have zero interest in minor regional independent promotions, no matter how technical or high-flying the product is.Modern smarks are regularly worked easier than casual fans because bookers manipulate dirt sheets, fake backstage heat, and internet rumors to control their reactions.

>>21453763>Modern smarks are regularly worked easier than casual fans because bookers manipulate dirt sheets, fake backstage heat, and internet rumors to control their reactions.There's an interesting disconnect with this topic, because when casuals genuinely get worked their usual reaction was that not only have they been had but they're genuinely excited about it tooSmarks tend to have complete meltdowns because to them, getting worked wounds their pride because they're convinced they're as smart or inventive as a good booker is, they're a drag to talk to wrestling about.
