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. 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 edition:


Question: "Who's the next superstar to break out in hollywood? First the rock, then cena, now?"

Answer: I can't imagine it will be Big Show, even though he has his Netflix series. The Miz would've already happened by now if it was going to happen, I think. Maybe we'll see some random thing like that for someone like Montez Ford or something. Becky Lynch supposedly met with Marvel, though...

Question: "If you're eyes had a one time use photo or 30 second film time, what would it be? For example like something no one would believe you"

Answer: Not sure exactly what the question is asking, but if it means if you could have 30 seconds of something you witnessed that you could show people in case they wouldn't believe you otherwise, I don't think I've actually had anything happen in my life that was so unbelievable like that haha.

Question: "How would you book the first ever cyborg to wrestle?like an actual A.I robot"

Answer: Robotic movements in the ring. Very rigid. They slowly, but surely start learning how to be more human. Then, they lose in an Inferno Match with a thumbs up.


Question: "This is my first time asking questions so I'll try to ask the juicy shit that people wanna know lol Tony how did you meet Caroline, is it a fairytale in new york story or more kid falling down Pennywise's sewer kinda deal"

Answer: LinkedIn, of all places.

Question: "What have you guys found to be the best distraction during quarantine, y'll can't stay on pornhub forever and there's only so much wrestling we can take before we explode in a much different way than pornhub :)"

Answer: I've been lucky enough to have Caroline with me for a good chunk of this time so far, which has made this infinitely easier. Once that ends, though, I don't know what I'm going to do with myself and I'll probably overwork myself as a response. Maybe I'll binge The Office for the first time or something.

Question: "I know you're running the sexy superstar tournament currently but who would your all time Male and female picks be?"

Answer: Male, maybe John Morrison. Female options come to mind Sunny, Maryse, AJ Lee, Stacy Keibler, Trish Stratus, Alexa Bliss, Terri Runnels, Brandi Rhodes, Layla El...


Question: "What do you think of the hidden messages in the alphabet? Hi, JK, SUV and LMNO it was never Laugh my ass off, it was always laugh my nuts off"

Answer: Def. No.

Question: "If Burns confession of Maggie or Homer's Season 18 confession of shooting Burns is false, do you these guys could have done it? Chief Wiggum who would question the Chief of police. Lisa seem to know too much in part 2, if she didn't do it, she knows who did, Burns says Maggie thinking Lisa is Maggie. Marge Burns as the hots for. Abe knowing the last Hellfish would die, he shot Burns to get the fortune both Maggie's are you can't convict a baby. Homer with assistance from Bart. If you look at Krusty after Burns is shoot, he is as drawn as Homer from Hommie the Clown, Bart helped Homer change. Maggie explanation is blackmail for Burns on Krusty"

Answer: "Then they found out it was the baby..........*cough*."

Question: "Do dislike a voice after being recast? My is Martin Prince's new voice, but I know people hate Homer Simpson as The Gennie in Return of Jafar"

Answer: Most of the time, it's awful. The only instance I can think of where I actually liked it better was Mila Kunis replacing Lacey Chabert as Meg on Family Guy.

Question: "In our tournament going on, not sure if I should say name because of YouTube what do you think was a bigger upset Strong beating Roman or Lacey beating Renee?"

Answer: Strong beating Reigns was more shocking to me.

Question: "Do you think the NXT Call ups will stay call ups when the world returns to normal? Belair disappeared, Riddle has his issue and I think a tag team was called up, but I forget who they were JK"

Answer: I do think they'll stay where they are, as they've been releasing people.

Question: "Who else do you think could be erased from history from WWE? Enzo and the reason asked Del Rio are on the list. I think Cody will be welcomed back because of Dusty"

Answer: I feel like it's going to take a lot for someone to be completely erased like Chris Benoit. At this point, Alberto Del Rio should be on that list, but I don't know if there's anyone else with as much bad energy around them to warrant that.

Question: "What is your favorite cinematic match? How would you list the other ones?"

Answer: Boneyard Match is the best from this year, but that's not saying much.

Question: "Why do you like Mandy and Sonya's feud? I hate it so much, worse feud of the year. Mandy is the heel for saying Sonya's not a fighter and Sonya is the face for calling Mandy the hot blonde who gets what she wants for that. Also Sonya said she it for us and my immediate reaction was Sonya was a face who was looking out for her friend because Otis is wrong for her, Dolph's douchebag here's a one night stand, the character of Mandy is bi and should be with Sonya. Ps now I'm fine with Otis now, but when he beat Dolph I was the two biggest heels just won"

Answer: There have been missteps along the way, but I like how Sonya is looking to become a more serious competitor.


Question: "Why were most of the WWE releases involved male wrestlers and not female wrestlers? Is the Women's Evolution to blame?"

Answer: Overall, there are more men on the roster than women, so I think it's mostly just been a numbers game. They did release a few women like Sarah Logan, after all.



Question: "I was wondering if you remember when Jake Roberts was talking to The Undertaker on The Funeral Parlor back in 1992 when Jake was asking him as to "which side are you on" and Undertaker had said "not yours"? Do you think that The Undertaker should've remained tag team with Jake and stayed heel? I really thought that The Undertaker was supposed to be a dark character but then fans years later had started to enjoy death, caskets and all his magical performances."

Answer: All things worked out best for Undertaker as they played out, I think.


Question: "What's up, fellas? What do you think has been the best match so far in the Corona Era? From a technical standpoint or entertaining standpoint, your opinion."

Answer: Oddly, I do think a good answer for this could be Edge vs. Randy Orton, as much as I hate to admit it. Daniel Bryan vs. AJ Styles from SmackDown is another option. Stadium Stampede for AEW.

Question: "If you could guarantee a good World Title run to any WWE or AEW wrestler, who would it be?"

Answer: Samoa Joe for WWE (some other names I'd like to toss out, though, are Johnny Gargano, Tommaso Ciampa, Keith Lee, maybe John Morrison). Maybe Scorpio Sky or Sammy Guevara for AEW if it doesn't count that Cody should win the real title and not just the TNT belt. MJF will get it, so I don't need to say him.

Question: "After watching The Last Ride, which has been insanely good, I only have one question...who should make The Undertaker finally Rest In Peace?"

Answer: I think I want to hold off on this for a potential One More Match discussion, possibly next week.


Question: "Is Alexa Bliss a future Hall of Famer? She's a 7x champion and MITB winner at the age of only 28."

Answer: Definitely. Without a doubt. Check out my Claim to Fame page for more of those ideas.

Question: "I miss Shinsuke Nakamura as a face, do you think WWE will ever turn him back?"

Answer: Somewhere down the line, if he stays on the roster for the next few years, he'll turn back, for sure. I don't think it will happen until at least fans come back to arenas, though.

Question: "I remember Ziggler being over with the crowd from 2013-2016, why didn't they view him as a top guy? How come they didn't give him the Bryan/Kofi storyline of overcoming the odds to finally winning the big one and having a lengthy run?"

Answer: I think it was just a matter of him being on the smaller side. His injury after winning the title didn't help his case, either. They gave him a few comeback stories after that, too, but by then, WWE already killed him and he got stuck in a rut of repeating the same promo instead of finding a new way to present himself.


Question: "Mustard or Ketchup or neither? I hate both"

Answer: Despise both.

Question: "How do you pronounce caramel?"

Answer: Caramel.

Question: "Do you consider yourself to be good at telling jokes?"

Answer: Two guys walk into a bar.

Question: "Thoughts on Tessa Blanchard possibly signing with WWE?"

Answer: Frankly, I don't see it happening.

Question: "Do you think Renee Young might hop over to AEW?"

Answer: It's really starting to feel more and more likely to me.

Question: "Do you see Christian being medically cleared to return or do you think it was just a desperate on time thing?"

Answer: At first, I thought that was going to be the case for SummerSlam. After they went out of their way to protect him in his non-match, I'm not so sure.

Question: "Red or Green apples?"

Answer: Red

Question: "Do you think Ripley may be turning heel and will face Io Shirai who will therefore become a babyface?"

Answer: Nope, staying face, but just with a bad case of bad creative.

Question: "Watermelon or Cantaloupe?"

Answer: Watermelon

Question: "When do you see Velveteen Dream getting released since reportedly his days are numbered? What a shame but that’s what happens :("

Answer: I still don't know what to believe about that whole situation, but I'm hoping for the best.

Question: "Do you consider yourself to be a drinker?"

Answer: Not in the slightest bit. I don't drink at all.

Question: "What country would you like to visit if you were able to?"

Answer: Brazil is on my list for obvious reasons.

Question: "Predictions for Fyter Fest and Great American Bash?"

Answer: Can't everyone just have fun and play nice together?

Question: "So Bit Brothers is set to have an Allstate season and apparently people like paul, josh, Derrick, Tyler, Dan, and janelle might be on it. Thoughts? This is probably only for Tony lol"

Answer: I'd be much more up for an All Star season, depending on the cast, than the regular stuff they've been doing the past few years, but they still have to change some of the fundamentals of the show like how annoying all the challenges are and how overly scripted all the diary room sessions tend to be.

Question: "Are you worried about the lack of depth NXT has?"

Answer: I think NXT always finds a way.

Question: "What are some words you always spell wrong?"

Answer: I can't actually think of any off the top of my head.

Question: "Have you ever been to Disney? If so what are some of your favorite rides Speaking of Disney, thoughts on splash mountain changing their name."

Answer: I've been there twice, maybe three times. Not sure about 2 or 3. Splash Mountain changing makes sense to me.

Question: "Finally, how are feeling about the coronavirus right now? I live in jersey so right now jersey and New York are doing great (for now), and I know Florida is getting hit hard"

Answer: I think it's horrendous, people are handling it terribly and I hate it with a passion. It's ruined 2020.
