Likewise I'm sure there are members here that wouldn't been seen dead on other forums I post on. I've seen the term used from puro fans bashing american indy fans, puro fans and american indy fans bashing WWE fans. For as long as I've been on wrestling forums around the internet in the past 11 or 12 years I've always frequented boards that are more streamlined to old school wrestling, independent wrestling or Japanese wrestling.
I have a very specific values on what makes great wrestling, despite enjoying a variety of styles. When I express these opinions and at the end of the day that's what they are. I have been labelled smark, elitist and god knows what else over the years.
To me that is the worse part about the broader spectrum of the IWC, members of WWE and TNA heavy forums that are stuck in the rut of contemporary wrestling that don't look for something different, on top of which they belittle people who find other tastes, whilst also feeling to deride 'internet darlings' or 'faceless japanese' wrestlers.
I still watch WWE and whilst there are points of the show that 5 or 10 years ago would have me keyboard bashing the hell out of the shows, I've learnt to embrace the things that I do love about the WWE product.
So whilst the booking of Daniel Bryan has been dire, I still get to watch one of the best wrestlers in the world perform on a weekly basis. There is so much forcing of opinion and ill informed opinion around the internet on wrestling, I find it easiest to collect factually correct information and then make an informed opinion on what I know.
Long are the days I willingly get caught up in multipage threads arguing over something we're meant to enjoy, not argue over. Mitch Henessey likes this.

It consists of the dirt sheet writers, their commenters, and forums for discussion like this. I am a member but when it gets used in context it seems to mostly mean the folks who stand out with strong not necessarily well thought out or maybe different opinions.
The opinions themselves may not even be with a majority of the total IWC membership but they just feel that way to the person using the term and become the "opinion of the IWC".
It's lazy but I'm sure I'm guilty of using it in discussion as well. Spidey Revivey Porn is okay here long as it ain't dudes.

The majority will disagree with the topic's subject.

If you have to use the term "IWC" in an argument, you're using a crutch for your argument. You're either screaming at walls, or hoping to promote a really crappy idea by comparing it to an even crappier one which you've made up on the spot. There's a lot of that here. Joined: Sep 9, Messages: Likes Received: There are certain forums where members do have great opinions and tremendous ideas.
Using the entire IWC as your example of fans who have terrible opinions is no longer applicable. However, you can see where in certain areas of the IWC where the blind lead the blind. Go to a comment section of youtube, bleacher report or wrestlezone to see an example of that. I do think that there is no group of fans that are as negative about what they love than wrestling fans. Maybe it's prevalent because of the negative opinions fed by the columns, news, and opinions by the websites we frequent.
They found a formula for success which is used by major news networks that is the more negative the headline, the more clicks that headline will get and it will drive more discussion. It's like many feel like they can't form their opinion so they let others help form their opinion and continue feeding that to other areas. Or maybe it's because I'm a positive person and tend to focus on that aspect of wrestling instead of pure negativity.

Tend to have a different look on the ring work. They usually tend to argue with women and children extremely pathetic in nature and pose an arrogant attitude. People of the "IWC" are generally social rejects that tend to fit extremely well with the typical suburban highschool geek or misfit.
However the ones that are much older will tend to have facial hair, and appear ungroomed. Are they just as despised as the IWC? The WWAS is a group of writers that write well written, opinionated articles on their love and hate for all things professional wrestling.
Members will face well constructed feedback in the form of positive and negative comments, but will never be condemned and labeled for them. We here at WWAS feel that individual opinions matter whether we agree or not. The WWAS was formed in order to rid professional wrestling of the "IWC" stigma, and in turn offer peaceful resolution to wrestling-based communities around the world.
Just produce a well-written article, mention your allegiance to the WWAS, make good argument and you're in. It's simple. I'm hoping this catches on like that thing people are doing now where they lie straight and rigid in different locations The Internet is a fickle place.
Where your opinion doesn't really matter unless people agree with you. Maybe one day we can all build a bridge across the great divide that separates the IWC and professional wrestling. Believe it or not, we are all a part of the "IWC.
For what it's worth, I leave you with this
