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: "Favorite piece of Wrestling Merchandise?"

Answer: Oddly enough, I don't really have much wrestling merch or memorabilia. In fact, so few items that I can't even think of anything other than the beer can Sandman smashed on his head and signed when I was a little kid.

Question: "Prefer WWE made entrances or separate songs by bands?"

Answer: I'm game for either one, so long as it fits the person and doesn't just sound like a stock rock production theme they grabbed from a library and slapped on them real quick because they didn't want to do any work.

Question: "What fucking happened to titantrons with wrestlers just standing and looking at the camera? now its all just shaking names on screen"

Answer: You know, I haven't even really noticed this, but I'll have to try to pay attention to it now. If it's just names, then that's pretty lame.


Question: "I know this question may be shocking since I asked it to open the April mailbag this will be the 3rd year. How are you guys doing after the hectic March and Mania season you have had?"

Answer: Fucking exhausted, man. Leading up to WrestleMania was a lot of work and then the 2 weeks following it were just insane, and now we have the Greatest Royal Rumble and Backlash coming up, so there's no time to rest from the chaos.

Question: "Do you guys use the same barber when you get a haircut? Do you talk to your barber?"

Answer: A friend of mine cuts my hair, so I always go to her and we gossip and catch up.

Question: "Do you guys wear jewelry on a daily basis? I didn’t use to, but when I was put into the Hall of Fame I dug out my middle school ring. It worked at least two people ask why and I brought up the website like I wanted"

Answer: Nope, I've never been a jewelry fan.

Question: "Do you have anyone on Twitter that when they tweet you are notified? I have 5, but I think the only one you would care about is Renee Young. Speaking of Renee do you have someone on Twitter you harass for no reason? I do mess with Renee a lot and she would totally have blocked me by now if Twitter had a sarcasm button because if you read it not sarcastic some of them come off nicely and I do give her the occasional nice compliment I’m not a complete dick to her"

Answer: I pretty much only check Twitter when I've been tagged in something hahaha.

Question: "Do you think King Maxell, Lord Wolfgang and Birdie Danielson are going to messed up growing up being exposed to fame so early?"

Answer: Oh without a doubt. Look at their parents. They're screwed.

Question: "I respect Tony’s opinion of not liking Final Deletion, but what do the rest of you think of Bray Vs Matt? The current standing is 2 loves 3 in the middle that’s me and Tony hated"

Answer: We'll see what the people on the panel of the podcast have to say.

Question: "Do you think Rounda Rossey is doing the Festus act? Walking down all smiles and when the bell rings intense"

Answer: That would be hilarious.

Question: "Do you think the whole purpose of The Mix Match Challenge was to put Rounda Rossey over? My thought is knowing Rounda would be in a mix tag at mania WWE created Mix Match Challenge to get over the idea in our head that mix tag was good so for fans not to shit on Rounda’s match. But she killed it, so I don’t think that was an issue"

Answer: I get the impression the point of the Mixed Match Challenge was to see if Facebook Watch could be a viable platform, and since rumor has it they were thinking about doing a women's show, they chickened out, added men, figured a charity thing would make it seem like a complete write-off and good PR, and gave very little to no thought into it.

Question: "Do you think guys like Sabu, Sandman, Raven, Axle Rotten, Balls Mahoney, Stevie Richards and Tommy Dreamer will be a legacy award one day? Do you think RVD and Raven join them, or could he be an singles? Also, Richards with Right to Censor"

Answer: I could see that happening. If they don't get lumped in together, I think most of them will just never get in at all. I could see Tommy Dreamer going in on his own, though, along with Rob Van Dam, but the rest will need a group induction or none.

Question: "What do you think of New Oreland’s health commission says ROH is on the same level as WWE able to use the banned moves and TNA and Lucha Underground are not?"

Answer: That sucks for Impact and Lucha Underground to be so low on the list that they can't even register as the same level of Ring of Honor. Good for ROH, though.

Question: "You said you were looking for ideas for Fanboys how about an animated Disney/Pixar tournament? Only one to avoid duplication only the franchise so Car, 2, 3 are all one. Best part I can score it"

Answer: Man, I wish I had the time and the resources and the following to do stuff like that for Fanboys Anonymous. I have SO MANY things I want to do for that site that I just don't have the time to dedicate to, since the audience isn't there to make it worth the investment.

Question: "If you had the time and money for amount of stuff would you be able to accomplish? The amount of stuff must be ridiculous. I now have the time and money with one of my programs and am going to acting school. I’m learning/doing fitness, acting, vocal singing, song writing, dance and voiceover"

Answer: I'll give a generic breakdown of this on the podcast, but suffice it to say there would be about a dozen websites added into a network that I'd control, all with significantly more content, full staff that could control (and improve) all the things I'm not fond of or talented in, and I'd dedicate myself to the things I think I'm valuable for the most like being the frontman of the majority of the podcasts and writing up some opinion-based articles for the sites and topics that I felt like I had something noteworthy to contribute.

Question: "Can you give brief thoughts on Smarkout Moment Hall of Fame class? Some questions I also have: Are you guys like Vince no induction for you till death? Is the women induction equivalent the impression wig or is that Posthumous induction? One non-wrestling joke I’d love to go in with was Angry Bulbasaur who came first in thought process? Am I and I know you didn’t mean to do on purpose, but did you make history inducting the first autistic induction to a Hall of Fame? We both know that’s not the reason I’m in neither of us really cares I’m an autistic induction it’s more fun trivia"

Answer: I'll take care of this on the podcast, rather than in this post.


Question: "Were you one of those booger eating kids?"

Answer: Thankfully, nope. Never was a booger-eater.

Question: "What are your thoughts on Trump bombing Syria?"

Answer: I can never act like I'm the most well-versed in politics and everything like that to be able to be judging that kind of decision 100%, but it doesn't seem to be a good idea to me at all. Any time a war starts, it's never a good thing for anybody but the people who have money invested in it.

Question: "Who is your oldest friend? How did you meet them."

Answer: I met my oldest friend in elementary school and was introduced to him as a fellow Undertaker fan, actually.

Question: "What three words best describe you?"

Answer: I'm not sure, actually. I'll leave that for other people to describe me and see what words they can think of.

Question: "Will the entire Shield be inducted into the Hall of Fame twice. Once as individuals and the other as a faction?"

Answer: I'd imagine they all go in separately, whereas The New Day go in together, for instance.

Question: "Do you think when Roman Reifns gets inducted as a headliner for the Hall of Fame, that he will still get booed?"

Answer: If WWE keeps up the way they've been booking him the past few years, yeah.

Question: "Is Cesaro Hall of Fame Bound?"

Answer: Right now, I'd say no, but if he sticks around a good number of years longer and can attain a solid push on SmackDown, maybe.

Question: "Do you think Charlotte will be the first woman ever to headline a Hall of Fame class?"

Answer: She might not be the first to do it, but she'll do it.

Question: "If you had to change your name, what would that name be?"

Answer: Hm...Nathan? Nicholas? Damn, I really don't know. No other names feel like they fit me.

Question: "Best show currently on TV?"

Answer: I'll spout out a few noteworthy ones: Westworld, Lucifer, Stranger Things, Atlanta, A.P. Bio, Modern Family, Black Mirror...but I'd have to give the edge to Westworld.

Question: "What was your high school mascot?"

Answer: Spartan.


Question: "Going back to August of 1991 how good would a Jake Roberts vs.The Ultimate Warrior match might have turned out if Jake Roberts had not canceled the feud or if the Ultimate Warrior had not have left the company?"

Answer: I'm not super super familiar with the time frame's variables and such, but there's certainly more potential behind that if those factors hadn't happened.
