The Internet Did Not Ruin Professional Wrestling

To spark the controversy that surrounds the Internet ruining pro wrestling, it did not ruin it in the 1st place. The Internet never created itself so a person did it. There were Wrestling Insiders for years like Dave Meltzer from the Wrestling Observer had newsletters sent out to people who subscribed to them. There was that prior to the big Internet boom. The original intention was for data purposes with the United States government back in 1958 to gain a technological lead over the USSR, now known as Russia. It had a boom period in the 1990s when it became public and since that time it has not looked back since. It has been used for other purposes as well such as creating web sites. Many top companies create it for shopping purposes. Others have used it for business and personal use. Of course, news web sites have also come about and then we had eventually some Pro Wrestling Insider websites like the Wrestling Observer or Pro Wrestling Insider being the primary two sites with their own news and if you count the Pro Wrestling Torch, that's three sites. Others have copied and pasted material but some are good enough to credit the source.

Does the Internet have a place in pro wrestling? It does as it can be used as a gateway to research past title history. It could also be used to find out about upcoming events in your local area and of course if you're curious enough to look, stuff that could happen later on for storylines. But that really is more or less a personal choice. You have your own choice on what you want to look up. If you were one of those people who complain about spoilers being posted and you being spoiled not enjoying the product that you like, it's your fault for looking in the 1st place. Nobody forces anyone to go to these websites in the 1st place. No gun is pointed at anybody's head to do such a thing. In fact, those who go on those sites chose to go on them in the 1st place.

Has it taken away the surprise element? It depends on your viewpoints because sometimes stuff doesn't come out right away and if anyone is to blame, it's the people within the companies giving away the spoilers. It does also keep track of who is injured, who is leaving, coming into the company, etc., which isn't really a bad thing. It also has a form of communication between wrestling fans online talking about favorite wrestlers, promotions, so on and so forth. Just because you spoil a show you watch looking in the 1st place doesn't mean blame for the whole Internet. How about not looking in the 1st place? Its easier to blame the Internet for it because nobody knows how to be responsible for what they do online.

It's no different than any other site that has news about soap operas and what's going on exactly. They do the same thing, where's the complaint in that exactly? It's never heard at least not too often anyway. Sure results are given out and posted as well for not just shows that are taped but also House Shows. It also has information on upcoming DVD releases as well so it can't be all that bad. It has it out before it's announced on TV but that doesn't matter. All that gets talked about is mainly the theme of spoiling a show before it airs.To put it blunt and so it is crystal clear, there is no one to blame but the individual himself or herself for this. Take responsibility for your own actions and that would be all right. Keep in mind that you go on those sites; you know what you're getting yourself into when browsing it.
