LAX's Homicide says American smart mark fans "deserve to get shanked"

Homicide is critical of American insider wrestling fans in an interview the UK Sun conducted with LAX. "America is a joke when it comes to wrestling fans," Homicide said. "I'm going to say it out loud. We got good wrestling fans and we got smart marks who are a bunch of idiots and dorks sitting at a computer and thinking they are better than a wrestler or a booker."

When the interviewer points that out the UK also has its share of "smart marks," Homicide replies, "But not like the ones in the United States. Over here they deserve to get shanked. The UK fans are really great, they're respectful. If you are a smart mark, be respectful." To read the lengthy interview, click here.

Powell’s POV: Homicide goes in and out of character during the interview. He addresses the Konnan situation honestly, but later in the interview Salinas refers to the Motor City Machine Guns as "figure skaters," and Homicide follows up by saying, "They could go to the Olympics, they'd have a good chance right now."

If nothing else, I'm sure the shank comment will get chuckles from the office. I don't think the reaction would be similar if an NFL player made the same statement about a group of Monday morning quarterback fans, but that's life in the pro wrestling business.
