What do you hate about being a smark?

[Savio]

I hate how people always say:

"You know wrestling fake, right?"

Your turn

[LK]

When people say:

"Christian sucks"

I hate knowing whats going to happen before it does

I feel your pain. :'(


Also, when I know that one guy is going to go over another even though I like the losing one better.

Yeah... It's even worse when there aren't any spoilers...

I also hate knowing when certain spots are coming. They can either be wrestler-specific or just general spots. Like when Shawn Michaels is going to flip up the turnbuckles and crotch himself.

[Funky Fly]

That's not totally due to being a smarrk, though. Part of it is WWE's formulaic approach.

Yeah, but I'm sure (or at least HOPE) that Smarks notice it more.

[Funky Fly]

From my experiences, marks notice it too.

I watch RAW with two marks, and they notice it also.

I miss believing that everything was happening at that very moment, not taped a few days ago, or even hours ago.

Well, it isn't that, but the ability to guess what is going to happen, and know what really should have happened, that is a little worse.

But the thing I hate about being a smark is that other smarks assume I have the same problems as them.

After only one month of TNA, my mark friends have figured it out. Either they're reading TPWW behind my back, or they're still "marks."

[Gertner]

i miss not knowing that I can look up the results to smackdown on the internet.

[NoRoolz]

Aside from what has already been mentioned. One thing I hate about being a smark is when marks say to you stupid things like 'Jericho Sucks. Cena is soooo good.' And you get so frustrated and go into a speech explaining how Jericho doesn't suck and how Cena does...or maybe it's just me that does this.

[Sadistic]

"Cena's probably the best wrestler in the WWE right now"

[TerranRich]

"Oh, wrestling is so fake. That's why I watch UFC! It's real!"

Morons. Apples and oranges, anybody?

Old school wrestling was full of predictable spots, wheter in the WWF, WCW, ECW, or any random indy fed. The matches also made sense, at least most of the time.

Is it me or do these things mostly sound more "What I hate about being a fan of wrestling?" Than "What I hate about being a smark."

Yeah, that's what I think about some of these responses.

:yes:

[Arrogance]

Becoming really cynical about wrestling product. Pretty sure that comes with the smark package deal.

Best in show.

[Wishbone]

I hate that I'm always looking at things from an "inside" perspective now. I used to love actually believing that the guy WWE told me was the best was in fact the best. I also miss actually being surprised when something "big" happened because now I always get tempted and check out the dirt sheets which makes returns like Lesnar's less impactful.

[Big Vic]

The crowd kinda ruined it though with them chanting "We want Lesnar"

[Kane Knight]

"Cena's probably the best wrestler in the WWE right now"

But it was true then, and it's true now. Cena>everyone else.

What do you hate about... 05-14-2013 12:47 AM SlickyTrickyDamon grow up
Nice neg from STD.

[RiX1024]

Being too critical of the product and not enjoy it like a mark.

[RiX1024]

Plus staying quiet at a live event instead of cheering, booing and chanting.
