Stupid things that marks say.

[Guest papacita]

There's also this one indy guy called "Even Colder" who works around here. His gimmick is that he's "Stone Cold's brother", and he looks a lot like Austin. The problem is he'll often show up unannounced, do the run-in and stunner everybody bit, and little kids and marks think it's actually Steve Austin despite this guy being several inches shorter and 20-30 pounds lighter.

I dunno why, but that made me bust out laughing over here...IN THE LIBRARY no less.

It's funny until you're in the building and hear people doing their JR impression.

 

Marks: "STONE COLD! STONE COLD! STONE COLD IS HERE!"

 

Me: Isn't he supposed to be at Backlash?

 

Marks: "Huh?"

[Guest converge241]

"who's got the belt?" or "who got the win?"

 

are annoying responses when arguing with people in person at a wrestling event or at a large gathering of pay per views/monday nights (when it was "cool" to do such)

[Guest JHawk]

Oh, I forgot this one! An indy show. February 19, 1995. The day of SuperBrawl V. Some idiot actually showed up, bought a third row seat, and said "This is gonna be fucking cool. Third row for Vader vs. Hogan." And when you told him, "That show's in Baltimore" he went, "Then why is WCW here tonight?" Apparently he saw Cactus Jack's name on the card and didn't realize Cactus had left WCW five months prior.

[Guest RepoMan]

The marks I hate the most are Hardy marks, though.

Some kid at an Indy show said the Hardy's invinted the ladder match.

 

I was at a Raw right after Austin turned at Invasion and some lady behind me said "I can't belive Stone Cold would do that, I had such faith in him".

[Guest converge241]

the worst Hardy Kids are ones who dress up like they used to with the mesh shirts and same pants and all that , I mean the ones who are way too old to do such like if some 13 year old did it thats okay..hes just a kid but i see over 18 year olds doing it thats a no-no

"Hardy Kids"

 

That's great. I can't help but think of Jerry's Kids when I read that.

 

Not much of a difference, really.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! How did he react when he realized it wasn't a WCW show and he was all hyped up for NOTHING?

[Guest MillenniumMan831]

I really hate when marks refer to something 2-5 weeks ago as "months" ago. Arghhh!!!!

 

Plus, when they make a big deal about a gimmick done for legitamitely months. For example, this lady I work with not only refers to Edge as 'The Edge', but also kept saying how (Early-Mid 2002) she thinks Billy and Chuck are gay. Well, f'n duh?!? What do you think the WWE are trying to get you to think? That they like the smell of each other's crotches?!? Of course, in storyline terms they actually weren't, so I guess she was SWERVED!

[Guest deveshhm]

So deveshhm thinks that anyone who disagrees with what he's heard is "stupid"?

 

"He told me that Arn Anderson was no good. I haven't really seen any of Arns work but from what I've read about him I can deduce he was a good wrestler and a nice guy."

 

Each to their own. Let people like what they like - If this "mark" has only been watching WWF for a year or two, then what will they have seen of AA? Commentating on the the Booker / Buff match. Getting beaten by Taker. Getting pissed on by Austin. If that was all I'd seen of him, then I would deduce that he is "no good".

 

His opinion is nothing to do with him being a "mark", but to do with the duration he has been watching wrestling. Few that had seen the Horsemen would agree with him.

 

Ditto on the HHH is better than Flair thing. Look at how HHH is rammed down our throats, and Flair does nothing any more. If you've seen Flair at his best (or even half assing it) then you couldn't deny he is better than HHH. But if you haven't, then you have no frame of reference other than what's going on at the moment.

 

What I find stupid are people that don't really know much about the topic yet speak as though they do, and then when you correct them they say you are wrong. When you show them proof that they were wrong they either deny that they said it or still say that you wrong.

 

For eg. he told me that Arn Anderson was an idiot. If he doensn't know anything about what Arn did in the past he should just keep quiet. Arn didn't work hard in this business so that somebody who knows nothing can just say he was an idiot. If marks are only watching wrestling for a year or two they shouldn't make comments about wrestlers they know nothing about.

 

And he does know Arn from his Horsemen days.

Not all Hardy marks are bad...

He tried getting a refund and got laughed at by the guy at the ticket window.

If at live shows you don't scream in my ear for Jeff to take his shirt off, then it's okay that you're a Hardy fan.

Please. I can't tell you how many calls I get looking for "Jeff's Gloves", hair dye, and the black light makeup. From grown men and women, at least once a day.

One of the wrestling merch companies (NOT RF, don't worry). Some people know, but I tend not to advertise which one.

<<What I find stupid are people that don't really know much about the topic yet speak as though they do, and then when you correct them they say you are wrong.>>

 

When you say that they "Speak about the topic", do you mean that the promote misinformation, or that they have an opinion that you disagree with?

 

<<he told me that Arn Anderson was an idiot. If he doensn't know anything about what Arn did in the past he should just keep quiet.>>

 

Is followed by "And he does know Arn from his Horsemen days."

 

So I think that this person is completely justified in having an opinion on Arn Anderson.

[Guest Steve J. Rogers]

This could go on the main page, but I have a feeling the "YOU-SUCK" chant is the ONE reason Kurt Angle will never get over as a face. The marks just LOVE saying Kurt sucks even though he does not suck and without that, without him being the dorky heel that can't win "the big one" fans just won't warm up to him.

 

So in some ways marks are actually hurting Kurt Angle's potential more than say a certain hhhholder down of talent

 

Steve

[Guest treble charged]

All they'd have to do is change his music, then. It doesn't even have to be drastic, just change it enough so that there's no time to chant 'You Suck' along with it.

[Guest hardyz1]

I sure don't.

 

Somewhat related to that: I was at a Raw back in January 1998 and when DX's music would hit, this young girl two rows behind me screamed this loud high pitched scream that made me want to punch her.

I was talking to these two marks at lunch (marks are better than nobody to talk to) and the one started talking about Goldberg. So, being the curious one that I am, I asked him what was so great about Goldberg? The mark went on to say how 'berg had the longest winning streak in history....to which I countered that it was the booker's decision to do that, and wasn't based on any skill.

 

Silence from him for a while. Then we got to talking about Brock, don't remember how though, and he was saying how he couldn't wait for the Brock vs Goldberg WMIX match-up. I asked him why. He's like "The F-5 vs The Jackhammer!" Not only that, he hoped it'd be for the title. I'm thinkin', yeeeeeeeah....

I might've had to punch him in the face for even thinking of that.

[Guest HollywoodSpikeJenkins]

I have many mark-who-think-they-are-smarks friends. One of them goes online, and reads results, BUT DOESN'T WATCH WRESTLING! He came to school the day after Sandman debuted in TNA

 

"Did you know Sandman was on NWA last night?"

"Do you even watch NWA?"

"No."

 

 

I want to kill him.

[Guest JHawk]

Ever get that idiot who only reads the fan sites that post "news" and tries to tell you all of that's legit? And then they e-mail it to you but they type like they're 11 or something?

 

Them: "I hurd frm ths guy that GOLDBERG iz cumming to Raw to food wit Brok lezner!"

 

Me: "How are they going to do that with Brock getting the SmackDown title shot at WrestleMania."

 

Them: "But I saw it on tha inturnet!"

 

Me: "::shakes head::"

[Guest MillenniumMan831]

I was talking to a "smart" I work with. Good guy, but he once said something that made no sense. This was about 6-8 months ago about Austin/Rock.

 

Him: Dude, at least Austin helps guys out. You don't see Rock doing that as much.

Me: Huh? Rock has lost to Al Snow, Mark Henry, and even The Big Bossman.

Him: When did he beat The Bossman?

Me: I dunno, it was during the Bossman/Show feud.

Him: When?

Me: Late 1999-Early 2000ish

Him: Oh, that feud sucked!

Me: Well, that's true.

Him: HEY, Austin put over HHH!

Me: And . . .

Him: Hey, he helped MAKE HHH!

Me: Dude, if Bob Hope was banging Stephanie, he'd be the Champion tomorrow.

[Guest Texas Small Arms 09]

My boss's boyfriend had her watch No Way Out and when I came into work Monday, she knew my brother and I watch it and here are some of the things she said that just baffled me.

 

"Undertaker is in the best shape of his life"

 

"HHH has got to be good since he beat Steiner, I mean Steiner is huge"

 

"Eric Bischoff is a very handsome young man"

 

or the best...

 

"I don't understand why Shawn Michaels was booed when he came out, I thought he was supposed to be a good guy"

[Yuna_Firerose 0]

"Eric Bischoff is a very handsome young man"

How old is Bisch, anyways? I know he's not "young", but I'd have to agree with her on the "handsome" part

[Guest Fook_Hing_Ho]

"I don't understand why Shawn Michaels was booed when he came out, I thought he was supposed to be a good guy"

If you don't watch wrestling and don't know the story behind SS97, it's a perfectly legitimate question.

[Guest El Psycho Diablo]

The entire "marks are stupid" bit is like beating a dead horse by now.

 

Anyway, I've seen "smarks" say things that are just as stupid, if not worse..

 

(The ten billion "Who would YOU fire!", "HHH sucks", "_______ is being held down", or "______ needs a push" threads, for an example.)

 

The only thing that really bugs me would be the fucking "What?" chants. Anyone doing that needs to have their genitals diisabled, because they REALLY don't need to reproduce. Fucking idiots.
