List your favorite mark-out moment(s) before you became a wrestling smark.
Lex Luger bodyslams Yokozuna at Summerslam-
At 8 years of age, I didn't think Lex Luger was a terrible wrestler, or realize that the WWE was priming him to be the next Hulk Hogan. In retrospect, I am ashammed I marked out the way I did back then. ![]() 123 Kid steals $10,000- X-pac was a decent mid-card face, and him out-cunning Razor Ramon was classic. SCSA 96 vignettes on Bret Hart- Awesome. SCSA's program with Bret Hart catapulated his career, which eventually led to the Attitude Era. Bret Hart v. Owen Hart @ WM10- Great match which told a story through wrestling. I only wish I can mark out to wrestling matches now the way I did back when I saw this match. There are more mark-out moments, but these were the first to come to mind. List your own. |

I started watching Nitro at 8pm before Raw came on. Imagine my suprise when I tune in and see none other than Razor Ramon come through the crowd, grab a mic, and say "You want a war? You got one." I was thinking to myself, OMFG WWF is invading WCW!! Good times. I think that is my last Kayfabe memory.

The problem is, all of my HUGE Mark out moments still allie even though I am a smark...ECW Return on RAW, Jericho winning the title on RAW, Scott Hall appears on Nitro, Ric Flair wins the Title (every time I marked like a little bitch), Cactus Jack returns on SmackDown (to fight HHH), The Horsemen reunite and Ric Flair comes back, Austin won the Title at Mania 14...and then since I was there live (4th row bitches) at Mania 17 as well. Benoit winning the World Title...from Sid...and again from Triple H. Rob Van Dam beating Bam Bam for the TV Title. Raven won the WCW US Title. Terry Funk winning the ECW Title at Barly Legal. Mankind winning the Title. Razor Ramon winning at Mania 10...yeah those are kind of my biggest mark out moments, and all of them still apply even after I became a smark...so Blah!

Been smart to the business for like 12 years and still had a ton of mark out moments in that time. Before then would probably be Bret Hart being announced as the new WWF champion on Superstars out of nowhere.

The most psyched (whilst not what you would call 'marking out') i've been this year would be Triple H making Shelton Benjamin look like a million dollars 2 weeks straight (although the beatdown was inevitable)
Kurt Angle beating Jericho at No Way Out 2000 was probably my last 'mark out' |

Yeah, like others said, I mark out from time to time. RKO anybody
![]() But others are: Hart Foundation Reunuion Pillman coming back from injury and attacking Austin, then almost breaking his ankle. ECW Reunion DX formation #2 (actually, it would be #3 if you count the first one with HBK and HHH) Benoit Title Win Lugar winning the Title from Hogan on Nitro Warrior Winning the Title Warrior returning at Mania 8 (Now, that might of been the biggest ever) Orton Winning the Title at Summerslam |

I don't remember when this happened, or which PPV.
But it was Diesel and Bret Hart in a cage match.. And Diesel was going to win when out of nowhere.. The Undertaker's arm reached out from under the ring and grabbed Diesel's leg, then pulled him down into the ring as Bret Hart retains the championship ![]() & The Reformation of the Hart Foundation.. when Owen Hart and the British Bulldog were fighting, and Bret Hart came out and gave them a speech, then the three hugged. ![]() |

I don't consider myself a "smark," and really think all wrestling fans not directly involved in the business are marks to some degree. It offends a lot of epople, but if we weren't marks, we wouldn't be watching.
The last "Holy shit!" mark out moment I had was long after I "smarked." One of the biggest (or atleast most prominent) in recent history was the collpasing ring. That had me going : eek: even though it was blatantly rigged. |

HBK winning the title @ WM 12 was by far my biggest mark out moment ever.
Coming in 2nd would be HBK over HHH @ SummerSlam 2002. |

see Lara Emily's response.
at WMXX I was shouting "Tap, DAMMIT!!" at the screen. I would like to also add the Brock Lesnar superplexing Big Show into the ring and collapsing it on SmackDown to the list. Stephanie getting Stunned by Stone Cold.... ...also the post-Survivor Series '00 promo that Stone Cold cut on the "injured" HHH that ran Stephanie off the screen was classic. |

Hands down when Bret first won the title. Me and my Brother were watching Superstars on late saturday night and Mean Gean just introduced him as the new world champ, completely out of the blue. We were both like WTF and started jumping on our beds

I loved it When Rock first won the Title at SS Deadly Games 98 I was jumping up and down, then he turned heel and I was mad because I liked him as a face, the next night at Raw in Rupp Arena with One of the best RAW Main Events of all time, Austin vs The Rock for the Title and that place was popping big for Stone Cold especailly when Judge Mills Lane said Austin got a title shot if he didn't win the tourney.

Goldberg beating Hogan
Pretty much any match during Goldberg's unbeaten streak. Even my dad became a fan of his because of it and he didn't/doesn't like wrestling. Anytime Sting and the nWo had a fight Anypoint during DDP/Raven and DDP/Savage fueds DDP's first World Title win. Loads more though. |

I might get flammed for this, lol but i was only young and my most memorable mark out moment was when i was 10, i watched my first wm (wm9), had never seen Hulk Hogan wrestle but heard about him, and i really marked out when he beat Yokozuna for his world championship

Let's see...
Undertaker returning @ SummerSlam '94 - I didn't expect the WWF to actually pull it off at the time and I assumed at the time that Dibiase's 'take was the real one. >_> Undertaker sending Mankind off the HitC and through it at KotR '98 - I was like... omfg Sting's appearances from Uncensored '97 until early '98 - I admit it. I marked out like a bitch whenever her beat down the nWo. Hogan being thrown out at Royal Rumble '92 - It was one of them "HA! HA!" types of things. Jericho "winning" the title on Raw - come on... who didn't mark out when that happened... |

HBK beating Bret Hart in Sudden Death at WM12
Attending WMX8 HHH tapping out to Benoit, clean, and in the middle of the ring at WMXX. I think I was screaming TAP...TAP YOU FUCKER. Not the best idea considering it was around 4am Brock Lesnar going up to the top rope at XIX, then promptly fucking it up. Brock suplexing Big Show and then breaking the ring |

Not one of my biggest mark out moments but back when the Alliance angle had just begun and before Invasion on Raw Austin came out and stunnered nearly every member of the Allliance and the old SCSA was back. I marked out a bit at that.
Mankind winning the title from the Rock on Raw Cactus Jack returning to face HHH at the Royal Rumble Angle beating the Rock for the title at No Mercy DDP being revealed as the stalker (thought this was the beginning of a huge push for DDP) Benoit winning at WM 20 Eddie Guerrero winning the title Raven's and Tazz's debuts And of course Jericho's win that never happened as I said earlier |

Lesnar messing up the Shooting Star Press
When Orton won the IC title When Orton RKO'd Beniot on Raw and beat him Probably one of the biggest was when Austin turned heel at Wrestlemania 17 And another big time was when we all thought HHH and HBK were gonna reform DX. I was smiling ear to ear to only get it ruined by HHH. Even though I have smarked up to everything for a long time know I think its true that almost everone still has there Mark Out moments. That is what makes everything so great. |

Lesner fucking up the SSP. Although I still think it was Angle's fault for that. If he was at least 2 feet more towards Lesner it would've been perfect!
Beniot winning the title. I was marking like a bitch! And of course...the ring collapsing. I still maintain, to this day! It wasn't rigged. And nothing you guys can tell me will tell me different. |

Snow and Holly in the Mississippi river. I loved that match, until I became a smark and learnt that no-one really likes Holly. I've never covered my tracks so fast.

Tazz's WWF debut, considering I was there
Jericho beating HHH for the title. Benoit beating HHH for the title. HBK beating HHH for the title. RVD's return at Guilty as Charged. RVD in general when Vince returned in March of 2000 and helped the Rock beat the Big Show on RAW. Razor Ramon beating Diesal at Summerslam 94 Bret beating Yokozuna at WM X |
