Spaceman Spiff 0 Report post Posted September 17, 2003 I knew this was coming. If Hurricane had won the fight everybody would be rejoicing and kissing up to Helms. Now that it's reported Mack won the fight and of course, because he isn't an I.W.C darling, he should be "fired". It was almost as predictable as the token Smark bashing. You know, the "predictable smark bashing" might not be so prevelant if you "smarks" would get some perspective and stop always making excuses for your little internet favorites. Just a thought. Hurricane starts a fight with Rodney Mack and gets his ass served, and even though he clearly instigated it you guys look the other way because he's your geek hero. Meanwhile I see people hoping Mack will now finally be fired, not because he was at fault, but BECUZ HE SUX LOL! Pretty sad guys. This still hasn't been determined. We don't know that "Helms starts a fight" or that "he clearly instigated it." For all we know, Mack could have said "shut your fucking mouth, you little bitch," causing the argument to escalate, then took a swing at Helms when Helms bitched back at him. Bottom line, the story doesn't say who was at fault, only that Helms got upset, words were exchanged, and a fight ensued. Until more details emerge, maybe you shouldn't be so quick to bash people taking Helms's side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any smark knows about HHH's politics, however not every smark reads every inside news update. Everyone on this board knows something about what's going inside WWE, so they are a smark. A mark knows nothing about the inside stuff. And if you say you have some friends that are dumb marks that know about HHH's politics, well then they are smarks.

Ripper 0 Report post Posted September 17, 2003 Yeah well...the skinny little gangster guy is always a wuss. I got a guy who lives across the street that always has his rap blaring and his bling bling going. He walks around like a hardass, talks tough, and basically is a little wigga. Well he got a job with me and we had to lift these 40 pound bags of flour onto a stack. Now that's 2 40 pound bags in a package...making an 80 pound lift...the little bitch could barely lift it....yeah so tough. Maybe his justification was "Damn sucka, you know how it's gots to be: a brotha just gots to carry that WHITE shit all day, yo, and I is sick of dat wack-ass shit."

Damaramu 0 Report post Posted September 17, 2003 Adrian is on here saying "you smarks" as if we all are one big mother brain that all thinks the same thing And you do a bang-up job of proving me wrong, huh? So how come you can say "we" speaking for everyone when you have Barron specifically saying "don't lump me with you", and you're justified. But if I say "you smarks" as a sweeping generalization you take offense. I think it goes without saying that I don't mean literally every last person on this board when I say "you" either, and somehow you still get all pissy- and not for the first time either. Seems to me what I said shouldn't offend anyone who it doesn't apply to.... And if a smark is anyone who's smart to the business, wouldn't the majority of fans be smarks then? There's not that many people who still think wrestling is real. Hell, non-fans know this shit is fake, are they smarks too? When I say "we" I refer to everyone that shares the same opinion as me. Not everybody. Get it straight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ant_7000 0 Report post Posted September 18, 2003 Im black, I don't say bling bling, the only time I might say bling bling if I referring to shiny jewerly (not even) or that Cash Money song. Only white people seem to say "bling bling" especially entertainment news reporters who trying to be hip or some white say it to mock us. As someone saying "Jigga" that person was refering to Jay-Z she must be a big fan. As for "Holla/Holler" its a common word for people in the south before it came a part of hip-hop slang.

Ripper 0 Report post Posted September 18, 2003 Well, no, seeing as this is the south and they can want to be black all they want, they know that the word Nigga from a white guy still equals ass whooping. Don't really have time to tell the difference between which one they are saying. I did see this white guy walk up to another and say "What's up my nigga". I just found it hilarious.
