Here's a really dumb tweet, if you think about, from Mike Bennett that other wrestlers, like TJP have retweeted: Oh I guess TJP replied to me when I pointed out that's exactly what a movie critic does. TJP posted:I don't really care, I don't read about wrestling. Although I'm pretty sure no one cares about movie critics. KungFu Grip fucked around with this message at 05:08 on Dec 12, 2012 |

By saying that people shouldn't judge the performances that someone puts on without first being in the same field as that person there is no reason to put on a good wrestling match/Film/Song etc because gently caress the audience, they have no right to judge what is good or not.

I love it when wrestlers or musicians or whoever pull out that ridiculous "you've never done it so you can't judge" logic. As if they actually want me to believe they either have never judged any professional at something they are an amateur at best at, or that they're all prodigies perfect at everything so they can judge what they wish. It's such idiotic logic it makes me laugh.

Wrestlers never read about wrestling but they always know what is going on in the wrestling business, even about guys wrestling on the other side of the world. The whole "you can only be in our industry to have an opinion" thing has always pissed me off. Because if it was Bret Hart critiquing their matches, they'd just modify it to, "Bret isn't an active wrestler to understand the business today" and if it was Austin Aries, it'd be all about how he's just an rear end in a top hat with an axe to grind. Any excuse to never have to look at themselves critically. Paper Jam Dipper fucked around with this message at 05:40 on Dec 12, 2012 |

The idea that people who haven't done something cannot have a valid opinion of something is ridiculous, however... There is something to be said that the best judge of a worker is the guys in the back, who they think is good and who they most want to work with. Likewise, talented filmmakers usually know another talented filmmaker, they are inspired by the greats, etc. (At the same time many don't give a poo poo and are completely ignorant of their profession.)

It's what all the lovely wrestlers from the 80's say to try to discredit Meltzer (and others.) Honky Tonk Man loves to talk poo poo about him in any shoot video he can.

The Justin Roberts episode of Colt Cabana's podcast actually touches on that a little bit. He talks about how wrestlers would ask him about stuff and his opinion on matches and he would always stress that everything he said was just as a fan because he had no other basis on which to make any judgement. Which you know, is something that wrestler should probably also keep in mind. When some random guy says something about your match, it is always a fan perspective and after all, the fans are the ultimate arbiter of what is good and what isn't.

MrBling posted:The Justin Roberts episode of Colt Cabana's podcast actually touches on that a little bit. Pretty much that bit, you can have your match praised and be told "haters gonna hate" by as many fellow wrestlers on Twitter as you like but they're not the ones who're going to stop buying tickets if you're consistently having boring loving matches. See: Eddie Kingston I remember William Regal on AoW as well saying wrestling was the only thing in the world where people showed their love for it by going out and doing it badly. Because there've never been any bad bands or amateur moviemakers. It just makes the fans feel excluded which is really the complete opposite of what Twitter should be for. Besides if people were telling them 100% they were having golden Misawa level ***** matches they'd be trumpeting about how the fans always know best.

Back to twitter, Yoshi Tatsu is using the #Japanese1MB and #NeverGiveUp hashtags, and it's the most adorable thing.  Specifically it took him about 3 days to get his tout to link to his twitter, and every post he made about having not figured it out yet included #NeverGiveUp. Yoshi is the new John Cena.

MassRayPer posted:The idea that people who haven't done something cannot have a valid opinion of something is ridiculous, however... Of course intimate familiarity with a subject and real knowledge will help in a critique of anything. Whether its wrestling, music, filmmaking, politics, or whatever your peers will understand things about your performance that others don't. On the other hand you also lose a lot of objectivity in this process, especially in the case of something like wrestling where there's clearly a "fraternity" in play. But that's not what's happening here. If I think a match sucks and then a wrestler says "What you don't realize is what happened there. Let me make the case for why the match was better than your first impression." Then I'd listen because I respect the fact that others have insight I don't possess. But comments like Bennett's aren't about that, they're about dismissing critics entirely because its easier to live in the bubble. The fact that its an attack on the very people who spend money to see him just makes it worst.
