Bundy dropping the elbow at Wrestlemania 3 on Little Beaver. I lept from my seat at the Silverdome and threw my arms in the air.

[Guest Retro Rob]

I was born a Smark. I would rate my birth about ***1/2, which is very good considering my mom was still a rookie to the scene since I was her first child.

[Guest MillenniumMan831]

The Ultimate Warrior pinning Hulk Hogan 1-2-3 at WrestleMania VI. I was a HUGE Warrior mark and to see him pin 'the guy who never loses' was very satisfying to an 8 year old mark.

[Guest Super Leather]

Man, some of you really show your age with these posts. Just an observation. These are moments that I loved and hated, but now I look back on it and think differently.

 

-The Four Horsemen kicking Dusty Rhodes' ass in the parking lot, and for that matter just about any Horsemen run-in during the mid-80s.

-The Road Warriors. Period.

-Hulk Hogan beating the Iron Sheik for the WWF title.

-King Kong Bundy squashing Hulk Hogan on Saturday Night's Main Event. I was shocked, but then Hogan got his revenge and all was serene.

-"Dr. D" David Shults drawing massive amounts of blood from Hogan in their match that's on the first Hulkamania video from Coliseum.

-The same video, different match: Big John Studd bodyslams Hogan on the concrete and gets disqualified.

-Hogan losing the title to Andre the Giant due to the Hebner screwjob. Lousy Hebners...

-Piper's Pit vs. Adrian Adonis’ Flower Shop.

-Roddy Piper beating up Frank Williams on Piper's Pit.

-Roddy Piper hitting Jimmy Snuka with the coconut.

-The debut of Demolition, and when they won the tag titles from Strike Force at WMIV.

-Earthquake killing Hulk Hogan on Brother Love’s set. By this time, I was no longer a Hogan fan, so I stood up in my living room and cheered.

-Roddy Piper putting Hogan to sleep at Starrcade.

-Sting choosing WCW over the NWO.

-"Curt Hennig, did you use a foreign object to win the AWA World title?" [Cocky smile] "Yes." I loved Curt Hennig for that and have been a fan ever since.

-Colonel DeBeers throwing Jimmy Snuka off the top rope to the concrete floor. Snuka was a BLOODY mess.

-The Hart Foundation winning the WWF tag team titles for the first time. I thought Jimmy Hart was the smartest manager in wrestling that day for hitting Dynamite Kid with the megaphone to take him out of the match.

-Bret Hart going insane after the cage match on RAW.

-Steve Austin breaking Hart's ankle the day after Wrestlemania.

-Hulk Hogan's heel turn. I was pissed because he'd been off Nitro for a while and things were going great. Then he had to come back and I was all like "Man, this old son of a bitch is back on my TV every week."

 

I am sure there are many others.

[Guest eiker_ir]

oh right, i forgot about Bret going all crazy and cursing at Raw before WM 13....classic

 

anybody has a transcript of that?

[LivingLegendGaryColeman 0]

I marked like nuts when Vader and Marc Mero came to the WWF. I had watched WCW every so often and those were two of the bigger names (or faces in Mero/Badd's case) to me that weren't past WWF stars. Mainly more for Mero because he had been a "good guy", unlike Vader. I remember really marking for things involving guys like Ahmed Johnson and Savio Vega (especially for him at KOTR 95). I remember back at a house show in 1992/93, when Superstars used to have some of the wrestlers talking about coming to town, Harvey Wippleman talked trash about my city. I was yelling up a storm at him, just using his insults back at him, and I was about 30 rows back, so he never would've heard me. Oh well, it's fun looking back, although all I can vaguely remember was I believe an opening match with Adam Bomb vs. El Maditor and the main event of Macho Man vs. Mr. Hughes with a run in from Evil Doink.

[Guest kingkamala]

My favorite mark out moments geez I can't rememember that many but here's the ones I do.

 

 

Scott Hall first appearing on Nitro

 

Marc Mero winning the IC title in the IC title tournament back in 96.( I don't know why but I went apeshit )

 

Marty Jannetty debuting in WCW ( I was the hugest Rockers mark for a while and I might have been the only one who marked out for this ).

 

Bret Hart Vs 123 Kid

 

The Undertaker Vs The Undertaker, come on now who didn't want to see this as a dumb mark?

 

The Steiners winning the WCW tag titles from the Outsiders on a Nitro in 97 My mom made me go to bed because I was so loud after the Steiners won.

 

Everything HBK did from about 96 to his first retirement after WrestleMania XIV.

[Guest Dynamite Kido]

I was born a Smark. I would rate my birth about ***1/2, which is very good considering my mom was still a rookie to the scene since I was her first child.

I heard that your mom had a great workrate back then but now she is just holding other Smark children back and refusing to do the job

[Guest notJames]

Duggan winning the first Royal Rumble. After that, smarkitude came a-calling and I never went back.

[Guest godthedog]

Shawn Michaels faggoty pre-match antics

lol. Sadly, when Michaels was at the height of his popularity, I used to run around trying to dance like him.

it's okay. i have friends who are old enough to drink and STILL dance around like he does when they hear his music.

[LivingLegendGaryColeman 0]

Bret Hart Vs 123 Kid

I loved that match. Those were like two of my very favorites. I actually held onto the tape of it, and I found it not too long ago. Good stuff.

[cmclennan 0]

My favourite moments...

 

Shawn Michaels winning the 1995 Royal Rumble, but not 1996, as it was obvious to me who would win... And also when he won the WWE title at WM XII.

 

Also, my two BIGGEST Mark-out moments were the first and second time, in that order, that ECW invaded the WWF!

[Guest Drury37]

My top mark out moment ever was Bret Hart beating Rowdy Piper for the WWF Intercontinetal Title at WWF WrestleMania VIII, as far as I go, Rowdy Piper was always one of my favorite's of all time but Bret Hart was my ALL TIME FAVORITE and that was just a great match and moment!!! Followed by that my second favorite mark out moment was Hulk Hogan beating Yokozuna for the WWF Title at WWF WrestleMania IX, just a flat out great moment for a Hulkamaniac like me, haha!!!

Thanks.

[Guest TheBostonStrangler]

Rey Mysterio winning the cruiser title, and Foley winning the big gold belt.

[Guest Kahran Ramsus]

Strike Force vs. Brainbusters from Wrestlemania V. I hated Chico Santana and loved watching Martel (who I didn't mind despite being in Strike Force) ditch him, and then Tully & Arn beat the crap out of him for 5 minutes. It was great.

[Guest JHawk]

Piper. Snuka. Coconut.

 

Enough said.

[Guest ShamRock]

- Goldberg beating Hogan for the title

- The debut of ECW during the Invasion

- Benoit and Jericho beating Austin and HHH

- Mick Foley returning after being retired

- Hogan tapping out to Angle at KOTR 2002

[Guest JAxlMorrison]

The Warrior returns at the end of Wrestlemania 8 to save Hogan.

 

Ric Flair wins the Royal Rumble 1992 to become champion.

 

Bret Hart wins his first WWF title.

 

Taz debuts at Royal Rumble 2000.

 

Warrior debuts in WCW.

 

Bret Hart debuts in WCW.

 

I'm sure there's a whole lot more.

[Guest notJames]

Taz debuts at Royal Rumble 2000.

I stand corrected. Forget what I said about Duggan winning the first Royal Rumble. I marked out hard when the Garden erupted for Tazz's entrance.

 

And of course, Jericho's RAW debut. I still watch the tape from time to time and it still gives me chills.

[Guest eiker_ir]

Jericho = Marking Out
