Ever since the WWE Draft this past June, it has been fact that Smackdown has been the best wrestling show of the three under the WWE name. However, you wouldn't know that if one decided to read the comments on various message boards with people saying that "Smackdown Sucks," "I don't watch Smackdown," "Smackdown is boring" and surprisingly, these comments are coming from people who HAVEN'T WATCHED THE F'N SHOW!
That's right. These ignorant fans, and there are plenty of them, simply read the skeleton version of the taping results on Tuesday night, thus basing their opinion on paper rather than action. Maybe these fans are on to something. Maybe not only for Smackdown but for all major and collegiate sports, we should simply play the games on paper since paper tells us everything we need to know. To quote Macaulay Culkin from "Home Alone," I don't think so!
National Football League (NFL) analysts says this all the time on game day, "On paper, it looks like a mismatch but that's why we DON'T PLAY GAMES ON PAPER! WE PLAY THE GAMES ON THE FIELD!"
The same should be said about Smackdown as it might look bad on paper when you read a skeleton version of the event but don't make a final judgment until you have actually watched the show.
Of course, the reality is that most of these ignorant fans couldn't do that because if they did and saw how good the show was, that means they were wrong and admitting that would be catastrophic to their internet message board ego and reputation.
As for me, I am done reading spoilers for Smackdown as I have enjoyed the last several weeks of Smackdown even more having not read the spoilers and now have something to look forward to every Friday night on youtube (provided the show isn't taken down before I get a chance to view it).

Wait a second! There's still fans of PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING!? The only true fans of the sport are those who pay for a ticket to see the greatest athletes trying to reach the proverbial brass ring that are paying all of the dues that come with the price of earning the opportunity to set foot through the ropes.
Todays society, use the words "Professional Wrestling" and it's treated to the same degree of somebody calling an African-American a "Nigger" ... the point is that it's treated like a obscene word. They're fans of "Sports Entertainment" to which 99.8% are what you call "ignorant" which really they're mindless twits who are sucked into the machine.
It's like that episode of South Park where they nailed it right on the head. If you want to see PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING than pay for a ticket to watch an N.W.A. or Outlaw league because they'll not disappoint.
