Things you thought differently when you were a mark
 
Like whenever a midcarder would challenge the WWE Champion for the title on a TV show, I always thought that the challenger had a chance of winning the title that night :lol:

ie. When Chris Benoit came to the WWF, he faced Triple H for the WWF Title on SD! I actually thought he had a chance of winning the title

ie. Rhyno challenging The Rock for the WCW Title on RAW. I thought Rhyno actually had a chance

:rofl: :shifty:

I thought that Canada sucked, thus I thought that all Canadian wrestlers sucked.

I thought that The Undertaker and Kane really were brothers and had powers. I even went though the trouble of mailing WWF Magazine asking Paul Bearer if he was really their father. :shifty:

Loose Cannon 06-19-2005 10:25 PM

lol marks :nono:

I thought the Lex Express would swing by sometime :shifty:

James Steele 06-19-2005 10:47 PM

I thought Randy Orton was an overrated douche.



Oh wait...




:shifty:

Gouda 06-19-2005 10:51 PM

I thought that was Ultimate Warrior's real face.

Xero 06-19-2005 11:20 PM

I thought that Goldberg was a technical genius...







Holy shit was I a dumbass... :shifty:

Champion of Europa 06-19-2005 11:36 PM

I thought Hulk Hogan was a self obsessed, egotistical, bad wrestler when he made the nWo.

As opposed to now, where I think that about the entirety of his career.

Ruien 06-20-2005 12:07 AM

Back when DX was around and HHH got hurt (might have just been a sotry line) but he droped the belt and their was a tourny that night for it. X-Pac made it to the finals and I thought he was acually gonna win it.

SammyG 06-20-2005 02:05 AM

I thought Sting lived in a house with that crow that always showed up... i marked out for black and white sting so much.. good old days..

Savio 06-20-2005 02:08 AM

I thought "Man is I was a wrestler I help that guy who is getting beaten up."

SammyG 06-20-2005 02:11 AM

id be mad at the nwo for cheating to win

Extreme Angle 06-20-2005 03:04 AM

i thought paul bearer really got put in cement!
yes i was a mark last year!

cafctom 06-20-2005 01:11 PM

I would actually get excited for a World Title match on Raw or Smackdown.

Nowadays, I don't even care about watching them as a I now the belt will never change hands like it would on a PPV event.

Same here.

They did pull a few swerves though over the years...like Triple H winning over Big Show, Stone Cold over Kane, Mankind over the Rock...etc.

Chavo Classic 06-20-2005 01:33 PM

Being hitting with a baking tray or cookie sheet actually hurts

NoRoolz 06-20-2005 04:27 PM

Yeah I used to be excited about all title matches on RAW or SmackDown, I used to think all 'Brother' tag-teams were actually brothers, LOL I even believed the Dudleys were half-brothers.

Disturbed316 06-20-2005 04:30 PM

Owen really did injure Bret when he kicked the leg out of....his leg :shifty:

Kane Knight 06-20-2005 04:39 PM

In entertainment, the little guy almsot never goes over the big guy. I don't see why being a mark would make you think the midcarder had a chance, unless you thought it was real as well.

Not that I can talk. I thought that Vince Screwed Bret, Stephanie McMahon really Married HHH, and that Shawn Michaels was gay...

Disturbed316 06-20-2005 04:40 PM

Pssh, we all know that Michaels is metro :roll:

AareDub 06-20-2005 04:46 PM

Way back in 94 I believed some of the Undertaker's powers. Yea, I was pretty stupid kid.

Kane Knight 06-20-2005 04:49 PM

Well, that depends on which powers. :p

lol, I used to act like that all the time. 'Why doesn't anyone help him? Come on out, cmonnnnn!'

Evil Vito 06-20-2005 07:56 PM

<font color=goldenrod>I used to think that Goldberg really was unstoppable and that he would never, EVER lose a match or the belt.....man, Starrcade 1998 was a very sad night for me.</font> :(

Mostly the lightning thing. I knew the lights and pyros and all that was set up, but I couldn't figure out how they could do lightning. The whole Royal Rumble 94 thing messed with my head pretty bad. The sad thing is that it was painfully obvious how it was done.

Tiken 06-21-2005 05:31 AM

I really thought no one could see the Ultimate Warrior but Hogan.

:lol: Royal Rumble 1994, what a PPV!

I actually believed that Owen hated Bret in real life and that the Anvil/Owen vs Bulldog/Bret/the rest of the Hart family feud was legitimate out of the ring heat (of course I didn't know the terms then, but ...) :$

Then again, I was still a mark at the time of the Screwjob and thought Bret had actually submitted :o It was only when I read about it all on the 'net and watched Wrestling with Shadows that I found out the truth.

Shame on me ...

seth187 06-21-2005 09:55 AM

i used to mark out on all wwf wrestling events prior to 1997, i consider anything past their ok wrestling or just plain crap....i miss the old days when i would get excited for the royal rumble, survivor series etc, stupid writers, HHH and vince have screwed wrestling to the max.

Warrior (cena style) - "You can't see me"

Hogan - :wtf:

:lol:

Chavo Classic 06-21-2005 01:12 PM

When I was a mark I used to listen to JR like he was reading from the Gospel of Wrestling. I believed every word he said.

Now I've heard 'bah gawd' and 'that's gowta be twenty...thiwty feet high' so many times it's lost meaning.

Just John 06-21-2005 02:02 PM

I thought Kane could really make fire and walk through it

Deceit 06-21-2005 02:22 PM

I thought Yokozuna really did squash the shit out of Tatanka during their fued.

Savio 06-21-2005 02:28 PM

I thought sid actually pooped his pants
