Can any oldfags tell a youngfag when wrestling fans turned to shit? When did the casual viewers stop watching? When did smarks start being a thing?

2002-04. After Vince killed the Attitude Era, he botched the invasion angle and then let Triple Nose run roughshod over his company and chase millions, AND MILLIONS, of wrestling fans away. Then they went full on reddit with all their virtue signal bullshit and further pissed on the grave of wrestling.

But when did the know-it-all smark types become the majority of wrestling fans?

After the casuals left the only people left to care about it were the hardcore smarks. The casuals used to out number them but now the opposite is true and to a significant extent.

Quoted By:

1. When the attitude era ended and they fumbled the invasion without keeping any wcw fans
2. When they started pushing that faggot cena
3. When benoit killed his family and they had to go pg
4. When punk cut the pipebomb and made wrestling openly fake as part of the show
5. When they let fans hijack the shows and push daniel bryan
6. When they started pushing the bland shitter roman
7. When they started hiring every indie shitter and letting them build a smark fanbase on nxt
8. When they realised ronda rousey was getting over in ufc and started pushing the women as serious competitors instead of eye candy.
There's more but those are the main reasons

This
Fans started getting really annoying as well
started putting them selves over more and thats kind of when the idiotic chants started
The What Chant being one of the most annoying and as much as I loved Stone Cold that retard was responsible for it

Stone Cold himself has said the chant was a mistake. Wrestling fans will ruin everything if left to their own devices. Vince was right all along.
