Colosso ha scritto:Un colonnista se la prende con i cori idioti su Husky Harris, facendo notare che non c'è differenza fra quelli e gli "Albert" per Tensai, i "Goldberg" per Ryback o perfino i "What". Tutte queste inutile mancanze di rispetto da parte del pubblico vanno CONDANNATE.
But then, just as I was enjoying the Wyatts and their immediate impact on RAW, some morons tried to ruin it for everybody. A certain group of fans in attendance - smarks, to be precise - thought it would be cool to chant "Husky Harris" as Bray Wyatt joined the others at ringside to conclude the segment. If anyone of you are reading this right now, I have a question for you:
Are you proud of yourself? Do you feel special for being "in the know" because you know Bray Wyatt used to compete as Husky Harris? Because if you do, please, tell me what kind of drugs you're smoking. You, my friend(s), almost single-handedly ruined the Wyatts debut with your lame-ass chant. Because of you, your chant made it on TV, where it could possibly inspire other idiots to do the same thing to the Wyatts, week after week. Then again, I suppose you're also one of those intelligent people who chant "What?" when a wrestler cuts a promo, trying to get over. You also chant "Goldberg" at Ryback and "Albert" at Tensai/Sweet T. If that is the case, please contact me as soon as possible so I can make you a LOP columnist, because you're a rare breed of genius.
I understand the concept of freedom and speech. But please, don't be a fucking idiot. You wanna do the Fandango, then go ahead and embarrass yourself on national TV. At least it's a dance that is relevant to what is going on in the ring. You want to chant "U-S-A" when two non-Americans are in the ring? That's fine, geography was never my best subject in school either. But calling a wrestler by their old or real name doesn't make you look cool, nor does it add anything to the product. When I watch wrestling, I like to suspend my disbelief and believe I'm watching actual storylines, not actors. When I'm watching CM Punk cut a promo, and I decide I'm going to cheer for him, I won't be by saying "You rock, Phil Brooks!", I'll be chanting "Punk" instead.
It's a matter of respect, really. If you respect someone, you're going to address them by the name they prefer to go by. If Vince McMahon prefers to be referred to as "Mr. McMahon" and not "Vince", then you call him "Mr. McMahon". If your mom doesn't want you to call her by her first name, then you call her "Mom", simple as that. What those Baltimore fans did last night was extremely disrespectful to the Wyatts, and I hope I never have to hear those "Husky Harris" chants ever again.
There's nothing wrong with being a smark. But when you go to a wrestling show, try and leave some of that smarkiness at home. Everyone has a right to their opinion, but don't think you're cool by forcing yours' on others. Just my two cents...
Io concordo. Il pubblico sarà pure pagante, ma c'è una cosa che si chiama rispetto e che penso si debba concedere ai wrestler che si fanno il mazzo per intrattenere gli spettatori. Se in un incontro i lottatori appaiono palesemente svogliati ci stanno i fischi e tutto il resto, ma per quanto possa non piacere la gimmick di Tensai o si reputi Ryback un clone di Goldberg io non mi azzarderei mai a uscire dalla sospensione di incredulità e chiamarli con i veri nomi/ex ring-name.
Non è che allora se il pubblico paga il biglietto può comportarsi come vuole, così come chi va a comprarsi un jeans non ha il diritto di trattare male la commessa perché "il cliente ha sempre ragione".
