I've seen this on a lot of forums I've visited over past few days so thought I'd bring it here.

Basically say hello in here when get online and goodbye when you're leaving :)

Let's see how dependent we really are on technology!

You have to give up one of these for an entire year.

Option A: No mobile phone. No social media, messaging apps, mobile games or scrolling.

Option B: No television. No Netflix, films, live sports, documentaries or television shows.

You can only keep one!

💬 Let's Debate!

1. Which would you give up?

2. Could you survive a whole year without the other?

3. What would you miss the most?

4. Do you think life would actually be better without one of them?

Be honest! Which one could you live without?

Let's find out!

Here's one to really get you thinking!

Imagine you have two choices.

Option A: You will always know the complete truth, even when it's uncomfortable, upsetting or difficult to hear.

Option B: You will always be happy and content, but you'll never know certain truths that might change how you see the world.

Which would you choose?

💬 Let's Debate!

1. Is knowing the truth always better?

2. Would you rather be happy or know everything?

3. Can ignorance sometimes be a blessing?

4. Would you want to know what people really think about you?

5. Is happiness more important than honesty?

There are no right or wrong answers, so let's hear your opinions!

What's your choice? ❤️

If you've been around the wrestling world for a while, you've probably heard the term Smark thrown around. But what does it actually mean?

The word Smark combines two terms: Smart and Mark.

A mark is traditionally a wrestling fan who gets caught up in the characters, rivalries and stories presented on screen.

A smark, on the other hand, is a fan who understands the business behind professional wrestling. They know the matches are planned, the storylines are developed creatively and there's a whole world happening behind the scenes.

🔍 What Makes Someone a Smark?

A typical smark might:

• 🎬 Understand how wrestling storylines and booking work.

• 🧠 Know about the backstage side of the wrestling business.

• 📰 Follow wrestling news, rumours and contract developments.

• 💪 Appreciate in-ring ability, character work and storytelling.

• 🎤 Have strong opinions about promotions, creative decisions and booking.

• 🔥 Enjoy debating what happens both inside and outside the ring.

💬 Is Being a Smark a Good or Bad Thing?

The term can sometimes be used negatively, particularly when describing fans who are overly critical or believe they know more than everyone else.

But being a smark isn't necessarily a bad thing!

It simply means you look at professional wrestling from a different perspective. You can appreciate the entertainment while also understanding the business that goes into producing it.

❤️ Why The Smark Report?

That's exactly what our community is about!

Whether you're a casual fan, a lifelong wrestling supporter or a full-blown smark, everyone is welcome.

We want a place where fans can share opinions, debate the big talking points, discuss the latest news and enjoy wrestling without being afraid to speak their minds.

💬 Let's Hear From You!

1. Would you describe yourself as a smark?

2. Do you prefer following the on-screen stories or the backstage wrestling business?

3. Has knowing how wrestling works changed the way you enjoy it?

4. Can someone be too much of a smark?

5. Does being a smark make wrestling more interesting or take away some of the magic?

Sound off below – we want to hear what you think!

In a surprising development, Julius and Brutus Creed have both departed WWE, according to PWInsider.com.

The Creed Brothers were originally scouted by WWE Hall of Famer Gerald Brisco, with Brutus signing in 2020 and Julius following a year later. After establishing themselves in NXT, the duo made the move to WWE's main roster in 2023.

During their time on Raw, they were associated with Chad Gable as part of the American Made stable. They later reunited with Gable during his Original Gran Americano run in Lucha Libre AAA, where they competed as Los Hermanos Americanos.

Their departures bring an end to their WWE run, but the big question now is what comes next for two talented brothers who have experience in both the NXT and main roster environments.

Could they make an immediate impact elsewhere, or might we see them take a different direction as a tag team?

💬 Let's Debate!

1. Were you surprised to hear that Julius and Brutus Creed have both departed WWE?

2. Do you think WWE made the right decision by letting the Creed Brothers go?

3. Did they receive enough opportunities to show what they could do on the main roster?

4. Should Julius and Brutus continue working together as a tag team?

5. Could they become major players in AEW, TNA or another wrestling promotion?

6. Would you like to see them reunite with Chad Gable as Los Hermanos Americanos somewhere down the line?

7. What do you think the future holds for the Creed Brothers?

Your Thoughts?

The Creed Brothers have plenty of experience, athletic ability and tag-team potential. But where should they go next, and which promotion would benefit most from signing them?

The 10/29 edition of TNA Thursday Night Impact attracted 201,000 overnight viewers, with a 0.03 rating in the 18–49 demographic.

The latest figure represents a drop from the previous week's 233,000 viewers, while the demo rating remained unchanged at 0.03.

Looking at the numbers throughout 2026, Impact has generally been moving within the 170,000–260,000 viewer range in recent months, with a few notable exceptions. The 10/1 episode recorded 182,000 viewers, before the audience climbed to 252,000 on 10/15. The latest result puts the show back close to the lower end of that recent range.

There have been some encouraging weeks, but consistency remains a challenge. The question is whether these figures represent a stable audience for TNA or whether the company needs to find new ways to bring more viewers to Thursday nights.

💬 Let's Debate!

1. Is 201,000 viewers a respectable result for TNA Thursday Night Impact?

2. Should TNA be concerned about the drop from 233,000 viewers the previous week?

3. What do you make of the 0.03 rating in the 18–49 demographic?

4. Has Impact found a relatively consistent audience, or should TNA be aiming for significantly higher numbers?

5. What could TNA do to attract more casual viewers and grow its weekly audience?

6. Does the current product have the star power and storylines needed to improve the ratings?

7. What would you consider a successful weekly audience figure for TNA?

Your Thoughts?

Are these numbers good enough for TNA at this stage, or is it time for the company to make changes to its television presentation and promotion?

Let's hear your thoughts. Is TNA moving in the right direction?

The 10/31 edition of AEW Collision recorded 302,000 viewers, according to ProgrammingInsider.com, with a 0.06 rating in the 18–49 demographic.

The episode went head-to-head with WWE NXT Halloween Havoc on The CW, and the audience figure represents a noticeable drop from the previous week's 449,000 viewers and 0.10 demo rating.

Looking at the wider numbers for 2026, Collision has experienced plenty of ups and downs. There have been episodes reaching over 500,000 viewers, while others have struggled to get much above 300,000. The latest figure is certainly towards the lower end of the range.

It's worth considering the competition, the timing of the broadcast and the overall strength of the card before judging the result. But with Collision regularly facing questions about its audience, is this another warning sign for AEW?

💬 Let's Debate!

1. Is 302,000 viewers a disappointing result for AEW Collision?

2. How much of the drop can be attributed to going head-to-head with NXT Halloween Havoc?

3. Does the 0.06 rating in the 18–49 demographic concern you more than the overall audience?

4. Why do you think Collision has struggled to maintain a consistent audience throughout 2026?

5. Does AEW need to do more to make Collision feel like essential viewing rather than a secondary weekly show?

6. What could AEW change to attract more viewers to Collision?

7. Should AEW be worried about these figures, or is there enough context to put this result into perspective?

Your Thoughts?

Is Collision heading in the wrong direction, or is this simply a difficult week caused by strong competition? How would you rate AEW's television performance in 2026 so far?

Share your thoughts below. Let's hear both sides of the debate!

New Japan Pro-Wrestling has announced a major change to its North American operations, confirming that its subsidiary, New Japan Pro-Wrestling of America (NJoA), will cease operations and enter liquidation.

Founded in 2019, NJoA was established to help NJPW develop its presence in the United States and expand its international reach.

According to the official announcement, the decision comes as NJPW looks to optimise its management resources in an increasingly changing business environment.

However, there is an important detail for fans: NJPW has confirmed that its North American events will continue, backed by the full resources and support of the TV Asahi group.

So while NJoA is closing, NJPW insists that its global expansion is entering a new chapter rather than coming to an end.

This raises some interesting questions about the future direction of New Japan outside Japan.

🌎 What Does This Mean for NJPW?

NJoA played a role in helping NJPW establish a stronger presence in North America. With the subsidiary now closing, will this change how the company promotes and organises its US events?

Could the involvement of TV Asahi lead to bigger opportunities, a different business strategy or a stronger international presence?

Or is this a sign that NJPW needs to rethink its approach to the North American wrestling market?

💬 Let's Debate!

• Is closing New Japan of America the right business decision?

• Will NJPW's North American presence suffer without its own US subsidiary?

• Could TV Asahi's backing actually make NJPW stronger internationally?

• Should NJPW concentrate more on its home market in Japan?

• Does NJPW still have the potential to become a bigger player in North America?

• What would you like to see NJPW do next to grow its international audience?

• Could this change open the door to more partnerships with other wrestling promotions?

Over to you! Is this simply a necessary business restructure for NJPW, or should fans be concerned about the company's future in North America?

Let's hear your thoughts and get the debate going!

Survivor Series 2026 could be bringing back one of the most iconic traditions in WWE history!

During an appearance on Stephanie McMahon's podcast, Rey Mysterio announced that this year's Survivor Series will feature a traditional 5-on-5 Elimination Tag Team Match, with Team Mexico taking on Team USA.

Mysterio also suggested that he had spoken with Raw General Manager Adam Pearce and SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis about getting superstars involved from both brands. There is also speculation that AAA talent could be part of the Mexico team, which would make this an even bigger international showdown.

With Survivor Series taking place on November 28 in Houston, Texas, the event will also mark the 40th anniversary of the original Survivor Series pay-per-view.

The traditional elimination matches were once the heart of Survivor Series, with teams battling until only one side remained. Over the years, WWE gradually moved away from making these matches the centrepiece of the event.

Could 2026 be the year that tradition makes a major comeback?

Team Mexico vs. Team USA – Who Would You Pick?

There are plenty of possibilities when it comes to putting these teams together.

Would Team Mexico feature Rey Mysterio leading the charge alongside current WWE and AAA stars? Could Team USA bring together some of WWE's biggest names from Raw and SmackDown?

And who would you want captaining each team?

💬 Let's Debate!

• Are you excited to see the traditional 5-on-5 Survivor Series elimination match return?

• Who would you put on Team Mexico?

• Which five superstars would you choose for Team USA?

• Should AAA wrestlers be included alongside WWE talent?

• Should the match feature only wrestlers representing their countries, or should it be about brand pride too?

• Would you like WWE to bring back more traditional Survivor Series elimination matches in future years?

• Could this become one of the biggest matches on the entire Survivor Series card?

Over to you! Who wins: Team Mexico or Team USA? And which ten wrestlers would you choose to represent their countries?

Let's hear your dream teams, predictions and opinions!

The overnight viewing figures are in for the October 31 WWE NXT Halloween Havoc special, which aired at 7 PM Eastern on The CW Network.

The show reportedly attracted 461,000 overnight viewers, earning a 0.07 rating in the key 18–49 demographic.

Halloween Havoc is one of NXT's established special events, so these numbers raise an interesting question about how the brand is performing and whether it is attracting the audience WWE would like to see.

There are plenty of factors to consider, including competition from other programming, the show's scheduling, the strength of the card and how NXT is being presented to viewers.

But are 461,000 viewers and a 0.07 demographic rating respectable figures for NXT, or should we be expecting more?

💬 Let's Debate!

• Are 461,000 viewers good enough for WWE NXT?

• Is a 0.07 rating in the 18–49 demographic disappointing?

• Has NXT successfully made the transition to The CW Network?

• Does Halloween Havoc deserve a bigger audience?

• What could WWE do to attract more viewers to NXT?

• Do television ratings still matter as much in the modern wrestling landscape?

• Would moving NXT to a different night or time make a difference?

Over to you! Are these viewing figures a positive sign for NXT, or should WWE and The CW be looking for stronger numbers?

Let's hear your thoughts and get the debate going!

Ring of Honor has an important place in wrestling history. Throughout its existence, ROH helped establish the careers of numerous major stars and developed a reputation for outstanding matches, passionate fans and a strong independent wrestling identity.

It became a promotion where talented wrestlers could showcase their abilities and build reputations before moving on to bigger opportunities.

However, the wrestling industry has changed dramatically. With WWE, AEW, TNA and numerous international promotions competing for attention, where does Ring of Honor fit into the modern wrestling landscape?

Can ROH still stand out as its own brand, or has it become difficult for the promotion to establish a clear identity?

💬 Let's Debate!

• Does Ring of Honor still have a place in modern professional wrestling?

• Should ROH operate as a completely separate promotion from AEW?

• Does ROH still carry the same importance and prestige it once had?

• Should the promotion focus more on developing upcoming talent?

• What would make ROH more attractive to wrestling fans?

• Who is the greatest wrestler to have competed in Ring of Honor?

• Would you like to see ROH return to its former prominence?

Over to you! Does Ring of Honor still have a meaningful future in professional wrestling, or has the wrestling landscape moved on without it?

For many years, New Japan Pro-Wrestling has been regarded as one of the very best wrestling promotions in the world.

NJPW has built its reputation through incredible in-ring performances, legendary rivalries, prestigious championships and some of the most memorable wrestling matches in history.

However, the wrestling landscape has changed considerably. AEW, TNA, CMLL, NOAH, Dragon Gate and other promotions have continued to develop their own identities and attract passionate audiences.

With so much competition around the world, is NJPW still the number one promotion outside WWE and AEW?

Or have other companies overtaken it in terms of match quality, storytelling, popularity and overall presentation?

💬 Let's Debate!

• Is NJPW still the best wrestling promotion outside WWE and AEW?

• Does New Japan still deliver the best in-ring wrestling?

• Have other Japanese promotions caught up with NJPW?

• Has NJPW lost some of the international attention it once enjoyed?

• Which current NJPW wrestler is the biggest attraction?

• If NJPW isn't number one anymore, which promotion deserves that position?

Over to you! Does NJPW still sit at the top of the wrestling world outside WWE and AEW, or has another promotion taken its crown?

One of the biggest advantages of smaller wrestling promotions is the freedom to experiment.

Without the same corporate structures, television expectations and commercial pressures faced by major companies, smaller promotions can sometimes take bigger creative risks.

They can introduce unusual characters, try different match formats, develop unique storylines and give wrestlers opportunities that might not be available elsewhere.

However, major promotions have bigger budgets, larger production teams and the resources to create spectacular events and long-term stories.

So which approach produces the better wrestling product?

Are smaller promotions more willing to think outside the box, or do the major companies simply have more tools to deliver something special?

💬 Let's Debate!

• Are smaller wrestling promotions more creative than WWE, AEW and TNA?

• Does having fewer financial resources encourage better ideas?

• Are major promotions too restricted by television networks and commercial expectations?

• Do smaller companies take more risks with their storylines and match formats?

• Which smaller promotion consistently delivers the most original wrestling?

• Can a promotion become too ambitious when trying to be different?

Over to you! Does smaller mean more creative, or do the major wrestling companies deserve more credit for what they produce?

Independent wrestling has always played a huge role in the wrestling industry. Long before many wrestlers make it onto television or sign with major promotions, they build their reputations travelling around the country, performing in front of passionate fans and proving what they can do.

Independent promotions give wrestlers opportunities to develop their characters, improve their skills and gain experience. They also give fans the chance to discover future stars before they become household names.

With WWE, AEW, TNA and other major companies constantly looking for new talent, independent wrestling remains an important part of the wrestling landscape.

But just how important is it today?

Are independent promotions thriving and providing something the major companies cannot, or are they finding it increasingly difficult to compete for attention?

💬 Let's Debate!

• Are independent wrestling promotions more important than ever?

• Do they provide better opportunities for upcoming wrestlers?

• Are independent promotions responsible for developing the next generation of major stars?

• Do smaller promotions have more freedom to experiment with their product?

• Which independent promotion deserves more attention from wrestling fans?

• Could the wrestling industry survive without its independent scene?

Over to you! Are independent promotions the backbone of professional wrestling, or has their importance changed as the major companies continue to grow?

Every wrestling promotion needs to build for the future, and All Elite Wrestling has a roster filled with younger talent who could become major stars in the years ahead.

AEW has an opportunity to develop the next generation of main-event performers, championship contenders and household names.

But which young wrestler has the biggest potential?

Is there someone already showing signs of becoming a future World Champion? Perhaps there's a rising star who hasn't yet received the television time or opportunities needed to reach their full potential.

We're not just looking for who is the best wrestler today. We're looking at who could become one of AEW's biggest stars over the next five years.

💬 Let's Debate!

• Which young AEW wrestler has the biggest future?

• Who has the potential to become a future AEW World Champion?

• Which rising star deserves more television time?

• Is AEW doing enough to develop its younger talent?

• Which young wrestler could become the next breakout star?

• Who would you build the future of AEW around?

Over to you! If you had to pick one young AEW wrestler to become a future megastar, who would you choose and why?

Since its launch in 2019, All Elite Wrestling has delivered some memorable pay-per-view events. From incredible wrestling matches and shocking moments to emotional main events and unforgettable championship victories, AEW has given fans plenty of shows to remember.

Events such as Double or Nothing, All Out, Full Gear and Revolution have all played an important role in AEW's history.

But which one stands above the rest?

Some fans will judge an event by the quality of its matches, while others will look at the overall card, storytelling, atmosphere and memorable moments.

There are plenty of contenders, but we're asking the Smark Report community to decide!

💬 Let's Debate!

• What is the greatest AEW pay-per-view event of all time?

• Which AEW event delivered the strongest overall match card?

• What has been the greatest main event in AEW pay-per-view history?

• Which pay-per-view had the most memorable moments?

• Has AEW's quality of pay-per-view events improved or declined over the years?

• Which AEW event would you happily go back and watch all over again?

Over to you! If you could choose just one AEW pay-per-view as the greatest of all time, which event gets your vote?

Every major wrestling promotion needs someone who represents the company. A superstar who attracts attention, connects with the audience, delivers memorable performances and helps define what the promotion stands for.

WWE has had household names such as John Cena, Roman Reigns and The Rock. But who fills that role in All Elite Wrestling?

AEW has an impressive roster filled with established main-eventers, fan favourites, international stars and homegrown talent. There are plenty of candidates, but is there one wrestler who genuinely stands above the rest?

Is it the current world champion? Someone who has been there since day one? Or perhaps a superstar who has become the biggest attraction on the roster?

💬 Let's Debate!

• Who is currently the true face of AEW?

• Should the face of the company always be its World Champion?

• Is the biggest star necessarily the best representative of AEW?

• Should AEW build its entire promotion around one leading superstar?

• Who has done the most to establish AEW's identity?

• Who would you choose to represent AEW over the next five years?

Over to you! If you could put one AEW superstar at the front of the company and make them its undisputed face, who would it be and why?

One of the biggest talking points surrounding All Elite Wrestling has always been its recruitment strategy.

Since launching in 2019, AEW has signed several high-profile wrestlers who previously worked for WWE. Bringing in established names has helped attract attention, create dream matches and give AEW a roster packed with experience.

However, some fans question whether the company has become too reliant on former WWE talent.

Does signing established stars help AEW grow, or does it take opportunities away from the wrestlers who helped build the company from the ground up?

There is also the argument that AEW should be concentrating more on creating its own homegrown main-event stars rather than relying on names already familiar to wrestling audiences.

💬 Let's Debate!

• Has AEW become too reliant on former WWE Superstars?

• Do established names bring more value to AEW than homegrown talent?

• Have former WWE wrestlers taken opportunities away from the original AEW roster?

• Should AEW focus more on developing younger and independent wrestling talent?

• Which former WWE signing has made the biggest positive impact in AEW?

• Which AEW original deserves a bigger opportunity?

Over to you! Are former WWE signings helping AEW reach the next level, or should the company put more faith in building its own stars?
