Wrestlers who were the biggest marks...

Considering the whole WWF Attitude Era was an admitted copy of ECW's style, I'd say he accomplished his goal.

I'm gonna throw "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorf into the mix. I've heard him give interviews over the last few years and he seems really markish over himself.

I would venture to say that Paul Orndorff is the most overrated performer of all time.

You could make a long list of wrestlers that are marks for themselves. I suppose that I'll just name the big offenders:

 

The ENTIRE Clique

Ric Flair

Vince McMahon

Stephanie McMahon

The Ultimate Warrior

Buff Bagwell

Bill Goldberg

Sid Vicious

[The Czech Republic]

Yes. And clearly, he did.

 

I don't see what's so bad about being a mark for yourself, really. If you don't believe your own hype, you won't make it. This goes for wrestling, and elsewhere. You don't get to the top by selling yourself short.

We should make a list of which posters on TSM are the biggest marks for themselves ... or would the list be too long?

Just C&P the list of registered users and you've got the list.

Oh, I forgot to add Honky Tonk Man, who apparently believes he actually is the greatest Intercontinental champion of all-time ...

 

Paul Heyman saying he's going to change the face of pro wrestling isn't being a mark for himself- it's just being ambitious. And to be honest, he did a pretty good job of it, too.
