Smark Out Moment

Do you have a question that you want to ask the minds over at Smark Out Moment? Our version of the WWE Inbox is the Smark Out Moment Mailbag. Once a month, we set aside some time to answer any of the questions on your mind, whether they be wrestling related, trivia to try to stump us, or just general questions to get to know Tony Mango and the other members of the team better.


Here are your submissions for this month:


Question: "Hey, what is the best pre-match video for you guys? Personally I think it's Austin vs The Rock WM 17 with My way of Limp Bizkit"

Answer: I was a fan of Undertaker and Bray Wyatt's from this past year. Shawn Michaels and John Cena had a good one with a fantastic song from their WrestleMania match. If I remember correctly, HBK and Bret Hart from the Iron Man match was great, too. Does WrestleMania's "All Grown Up" count?


Question: "In your opinion, what's the worst moment in WWE history and why?"

Answer: If you're going for non-kayfabe, it has to be either Owen Hart's death or the Chris Benoit situation. In a kayfabe sense of what was just really terrible, probably Mae Young giving birth to a hand. Really, WWE?


Question: "Is the NXT Gen podcast on iTunes or just YouTube? Are you on Wrestling Amino?"

Answer: Nope for both of those. I don't even know what Wrestling Amino is, lol, and Paden hasn't set up the NXT Gen iTunes information as far as I'm aware of, but I'm sure he'll get around to it eventually if the show sticks around.

Question: "How would you deal with someone making jokes about cancer to someone who just lost someone from it?"

Answer: I'm of the opinion that you can joke about a lot of different things, given the proper context, but there's a difference between someone jokingly saying they wish cancer upon you and someone legitimately being offensive about it. If they are that insensitive to say something like that a time when a family is grieving a loss, they're a piece of shit and they need to be put in their place.
