Meeting a mark:
 

so i'm watching the rumble yesterday and then my housemate came home for lunch with a mate of his, turns out his mate is a wrestling fan. probably about 19 at a guess. And then the mate says "oh sweet, the royal rumble. Fuck I hope John Cena keeps his title, he's awesome!" HAHAHA, its my first encounter with a mark in so damn long, it was awesome..

And he couldn't understand how I could like Edge and randy orton and King Booker, and couldn't understand why I wanted CM Punk to win the rumble.

Also I was at a shop with my girlfriend and a little kidwas there, and there was a magazine with king booker in it, and the kid screamed "I hate king booker!" lol


any1 have any fun,interesting or stories in general about meeting marks?

Fuck, I don't understand why you like half those guys.

You realize your wanting CM Punk to win makes you a mark as well, right?

And why is it so damn funny that they like who they like and hate who they hate?

So basically liking/not liking anyone that you like makes someone a mark.

Never mind that cheering who you like and booing who you hate is the basis of being a fan.

Well of course it's because they're following who WWE TELLS them to cheer and boo.

Baa.

haha

I can't believe a kid doesn't like the heal! That's amazing.

Do you know what heal means?

Me and a buddy of mine went to go see Unforgiven 2005 at a theater.My buddy then got into and debate with a 10 year old on who was better Angle or Cena.The 10 year olds arguement was Cena beat angle 4 times already so of course he was better.

freakin' sweet.

so I'm still a mark

I hate that Verb Meaning to Recover from an Injury!!!!

We should all envy that kid.

for the record I used to work with a kid when I was in highschool who was a huge fuckin mark, especially for Triple H who he said was the best because "hes that damn good" and because "he's the cerebral assasin". He also used to elbow drop and suplex carboard boxes.

theres a subtle difference between being a mark and being a living joke. The last part of that story displays the transition.

I'm kidding around, but seriously, you gotta sit that kid down and have a talk with him before its too late.

Who isn't?

Benoit's pop was excellent Sunday night.

:yes:

I refuse to envy someone for enjoying bad TV.

That's like envying someone who's tone deaf for wanting to grow up to sing as good as Will Hung.

I remember being in a HMV in Australia last year and 2 kids were looking at WWE DVD's. One kid picked up the Taboo tuesday 2004 DVD and noticed the Eugene - Bischoff match being loser has his head shaved. The kid then goes 'oooh, that's why Eric Bischoff's head is shaved'. Also the 2 kids noticed the Greatest Wrestling Managers DVD, looked at the front cover and one of them said 'why isn't Ric Flair on this?' :nono:

:rofl: at "Why isn't Ric Flair on this?"...

Over time I have come to the conclusion that I am more mark than smart.

I know this one guy, and he watches most of the programming, but he missed New Years Revolution. So he asked me of how the title match went. So I said of how Cena couldn't pick up Umaga to do the F-U, but he rolled him up for the victory. But the guy couldn't understand why Cena couldn't F-U Umaga, yet he could always F-U the Big Show.

I think your friend was thinking that Cena fucked up the move.

In all honesty, I can't figure it out either. I mean, even with Umaga resisting it it still wouldn't equal the size of Big Show.

Didn't JR explain the reasoning behind that?

I don't know. I don't listen to him half the time. The other half I don't understand him.

Your friend sure showed that 10 year old.

Oh God, I hate being seated near hardcore marks at shows. I mean, I'm happy their there, but when I yell something pretty smarky out, not many get it.

I remember my section started a Cena Sucks/Cena Rules dueling chant at a SuperShow. I believe it spread through the entire building.

If this were to ever happen successfully, it would be the final sign of The Apocolypse.

I was at a Raw in 99 and I was supporting Jericho and Triple H (heels at the time) and stuff of that nature, and the people behind me just didn't get it.

Though they loved my sign that said "I'm holding this so the roody poo behind me can't see"

Little kids just really annoy me at live events. At Survivor Series 2005, we had a "Lets Go Angle, Lets Go Cena" dueling chant. Most of my row was in the Angle section, but I had to be set next to this little girl, and she was cheering loudly for Cena.

Another show was a SmackDown house show in early 2005. I was actually second row for this one. And one little kid behind me was just yelling and screaming for Undertaker to look his way.

Dude, they're kids let them have their fun.

When I'm seated near kids I feel bad for yelling profanities. (Nothing too bad, but still...)

Then there's an ass segment, DX segment or a sex-heavy diva segment and I tend to stop giving a shit.
