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: "Will Coppa affect you?"

Answer: It applies to everyone, but I don't think it will necessarily have any direct impact on me. I'm already not making anything but pennies as it is with the Adpocalypse and everything screwing me over, and I don't think my content can be misconstrued as targeted towards kids, but just in case, I've already classified everything as not being in that demographic.

Question: "What are you guys watching on Disney+? What do you want them to added to the app? I've watched Muppets Office version, Recess and Suite Life. I want to be added original Muppets, Aladdin animated series, The Bryan Daniels show American Dragon and Friday night Smackdown"

Answer: I don't have it yet and I'm not sure if I'll ever order it. At the very least, I won't bother with it until the MCU projects come in.

Question: "Do you like Roode and Ziggler with Corbin? I'd rather B-Team and have them be Corbin's Jesters"

Answer: I do like your court jesters idea, but if they want to have two more legitimate lackeys, Ziggler and Roode are a good pairing to go with.

Question: "When Seth Rollins mentioned his Bank Account everyone said that was a dick move. When Renee Young says she's making that Fox money no one says anything. Why they're both talking about Money?"

Answer: Going against Seth is like going against WWE, as he's become a figurehead company guy, so people want to vent their frustrations out on him for things other than that comment.


Question: "Who in your opinion came up with the idea of having a royal rumble match involving the women? Was it Triple H and Stephanie McMahon?"

Answer: It really was so obvious and simple that I don't think anyone in particular fought hard for it. It more than likely just came about naturally in the conversations.

Question: "Why did the likes of Becky Lynch, Sasha Banks, Bayley and Charlotte Flair became so popular with the WWE fans? Was it because they weren't models and the WWE Universe got tired of the models being pushed?"

Answer: I think it was a combination of match quality, being different at the right time, having some character when a lot of the others in NXT didn't, and being part of the "non main roster" bump.


Question: "If you could pick a Table For 3 from the legendary wrestlers that have passed away whether it be male or female, whom would you pick to strike conversations with on the show?"

Answer: If I'm in it and we're fantasy booking scenarios now with a lot of wiggle room, I'd choose Owen Hart and Chris Benoit to fill them in on everything and get their opinions and perspectives following their deaths. If this is a matter of watching 3 people talk and don't have to be deceased, then I'll pair up Vince McMahon, Vince Russo and Eric Bischoff, or possibly Paul Heyman instead of Russo.

Question: "Fuck Marry Kill of Randy Savage's managers: Miss Elizabeth, Sensational Sherri, Gorgeous George."

Answer: Marry Miss Elizabeth, fuck Gorgeous George, kill Sensational Sherri.


Question: "If you could create a female faction from the existing women's roster (Raw, smackdown, NXT, NXT UK), which would you choose? What would you call this faction?"

Answer: Actually, I'm drawing mostly a blank for this. I think a lot of people are better off on their own. I do think Ember Moon could use some partners, be it Alexa Bliss (with some gimmick changes to Moon) or maybe Kayden Carter, but that's not a stable. Maybe a non-Riott Squad group of punk chicks like Ruby Riott, Rhea Ripley and Shotzi Blackheart?

Question: "If you could be a fly on the wall for a rumored wwe story (the saudi arabia situation, sasha bank's supposed meltdown at mania, Brock Lesnar throwing the universal belt at Vince, just to name a few), which one would you choose?"

Answer: I wouldn't want to be in Saudi Arabia at all, that's for sure. The plane ride from hell would be a lot of fun. Montreal Screwjob is another easy pick.

Question: "Do you think it would be better to have a women's midcard title rather than the tag titles?"

Answer: Right now, no. We don't need 2 more singles champions. At least the tag titles allow for some flexibility between the brands, even if WWE doesn't capitalize on that. But whenever the brand split ends and there's just one women's champion, there should probably be a midcard and tag title setup, too.

Question: "Does anyone else think that AEW's Women's division is dry? They haven't had a match that has impressed me yet."

Answer: Very, very much agreed. I've been thoroughly underwhelmed with AEW's women's division from the start.


Question: "Have you ever gotten a wrestling related Christmas gift that you remember being happy to receive? Please expound beyond yes or no lol."

Answer: I'm positive that I got lots of wrestling stuff as a kid that were action figures and t-shirts and whatnot, but I actually don't remember any for certain other than the WWF trivia game.

Question: "Since they just changed the IC belt again, what is your favorite version of the Intercontinental Championship?"

Answer: Classic design with the black strap.


Question: "What are some of your favorite WWE conspiracy theories? If someone told you one of them you will know for sure, which one would you pick?"

Answer: I love the conspiracy theory that Vince McMahon sent people to WCW to destroy it from the inside. The one about the Montreal Screwjob being a work is funny. I guess if I had to know something for sure, it would be the Macho Man situation. A particularly interesting one is that the Saudi Arabia deal is a money laundering scheme of sorts, but I don't buy into that...too much...

Question: "How do you usually spend your Thanksgivings? What are some underrated/overrated foods, and anything else you can think of?"

Answer: Dinner with family and nothing more complicated than that. I'm not all that into the food. I think the whole meal itself is overrated, but what I'll put on my plate is usually a little of everything, minus cranberry sauce. Give me the stuffing, gravy, mashed potatoes, rolls, turkey if it's not dry as hell, pumpkin pie, green bean casserole, etc. I'd rather have pizza, though.

Question: "Do you shop on Black Friday?"

Answer: Only online, never in the stores.

Question: "Did you ever use to dip your chicken nuggets into mashed potatoes as a kid?"

Answer: I wasn't big on that, actually. I typically didn't want mashed potatoes with my nuggets. I was always more of a mac and cheese or fries guy.

Question: "It has been a over a month, what have you thought of AEW TV since its Arrival. Things you would change, whatnot."

Answer: The matches are way too similar for me to not want to skip a chunk of the show every week. The visuals are great and some of the talent has surprised me, though. Overall, it's pretty damn good, but I almost wish it were half an hour shorter to cut out one of the matches or trim the time on them to make it easier to sit through.
