From that position they argue that the character's ways need to be promoted and booked better.
These people think that the booker is holding those guys down, just like the idiot adult(s) in their own life keeps them down... even though for most of them, they're keeping themselves down with a shit mentality.
To put it another way, their brain took a mental bump too many and now they're on the injured list, but instead of taking time off of TV, they try working matches on the internet and inevitably discover the other mentally injured people who've come to suck at life due to their circumstances and their, sometimes not exclusively their, choices that keep them in the gutter.
Even though they argue with each other all the time, they're all in the same boat, where they are random sailors and the captain (the booker of the WWE) treats them like shit and keeps them down.
As a result, smarks inadvertently identify with shitty characters who don't get over and blame the overarching authority for ruining their lives.
When it concerns the people who continue to abuse them (their parents), fair play. But when those abusers are gone, there's nobody abusing you but yourself.
But if the smarks stop abusing themselves, they stop identifying with wrestlers and "lose a passion" that kept them safe and happy when the times were bad, so they'd rather make the times bad in order to keep feeling good, thus ruin pro wrestling to make it closer resemble their shitty real life.
