Al Snow Lashes Out At 'Smart-Marks', Twitter, More

On wrestlers using Twitter: "It shouldn't be a venue to air gripes or complaints, by no means. The wrestling business was a closed business for a very long time. It's kinda like remember when you were a kid, and you were at home and something would happen within your family and it was never spoken outside of the house because it was your family. It was nobody else's business because nobody else could appreciate or understand the situation, and therefore, would pass judgment on something they really didn't have a part in. Because at the end of the day, the only people who are gonna have to go to bed with it and wake up with it are you and your family – and that's kinda like the wrestling business."

On TNA talent using Twitter to talk about the competition: "We're the ones who rely on and depend on the wrestling business for our livelihood and how we're gonna feed our families. So why throw dirt on each other and throw muck around, or air out our grievances or talk about the competition in a public forum. It's okay to do all of those things amongst ourselves, but once it goes outside those doors, and goes into an area where people don't have a real stake in what happens or what it being said then it's like your cousin Jim who went to jail – you don't want to share that with anybody because he's your cousin – he's your family.

On smart fans: "The most oxymoronic term out there is a 'smart-mark'. Just doesn't exist. Because how can you be smart at something – knowing somebody is lying to you, while actually believing the lie. It's a term created by fans who believe they're on the inside of something that they're not really on the inside of. They're not a part of the business because they don't have a real stake in it…A great example is if you ask what was the best match of WrestleMania 3. Most people would say Savage/Steamboat. But it was Hogan/Andre because 93,000 people paid to see Hogan/Andre. The best match isn't about 'working' or 'taking the best bumps', it's the match that draws the most people and makes the most money. That's the best match.

On his job as a producer for TNA: "A communicator who conveys message from an agents' meeting to determine what type of business we want to accomplish from a particular match – pushing a storyline, getting a babyface over, make a character, put heat on a heel, or start teaching the audience (6-montsh out) that a certain guy could be a champion so that 6-months later he becomes a viable threat/contender to the title (in the eyes of the audience)."

Geez. Who. CARES????

To be fair, he has a point.

He might have a point, but the last thing I want to hear is another irrelevant midcarder sharing his views on how the fans should be and blah blah blah. I cracked up when he said the fans have nos take in the business, when the fans are EVERYTHING to the business. Snow himself wouldnt be anyone if the FANS didn't like that whole 'Head' gimmick he did for ages. As far I'm concerned, his old jobber ass can shut the fuck up.

He may not have been that big a star, or a star at all for that matter, but he's respected in the business as a trainer so he is worth listening to.

Although, yes, fans are everything to a show.

Its got nothing to do with that, the fans are not apart of the WWE family...The superstars, trainers, refs, chairman etc are. None of us have any stake in what goes on in their lives because its their lives not ours. He makes a fair point, and its being proven by you right now. You (the fan) hate that you don't have any stake in what goes on in their lives, because you are not apart of that family.

*snore*

I'm sure there are some with that mentality, but there's at least one who doesn't give a shit. Take a wild guess who!
