To be honest it's a legit question you ask and they pretty much do it all the time. I also thought the "CAN YA FEEL YER TOES?!" came from when the stage collapsed on Vince and he started shouting "PAUL! PAUL!"

Honestly there are different types of smarks. The one that you are talking about here is this type:

The other is pretty much the IWC in a whole, who all know it's a work, read the dirt sheets but still love watching the product.

And to me, the definition of a Mark is pretty much anyone who isn't knowledgable at all about stuff behind the scenes and such. So all of you in this thread claiming to be marks because of things like Shawn/Taker are wrong, since you still know its fake, just because you marked out for a little bit doesn't make you a mark.

FishBulb posted:

To the people that actually use the word mark, like people in 'the business' anyone that watches wrestling is a mark. If you know its fake and you still watch it you're still a mark. Being a mark is a carny term for a rube you can get money out of. It doesn't matter what you know, so in that sense we are all marks.

Yeah I think Smark used to mean smart mark, but here we just use it for people who are all about wrestling

I think they would give Cena the streak.

That's really awesome. It makes me love Kane that much more.

Made You Look posted:

As much as the whole gimmick gets annoying from time to time, I really do think that Cena would do this. But I mean with a streak like that, Undertakes last match is going to have to be a Wrestlemania loss to someone that they want to put over HUGE

Shawn had hoped to get a chance to talk to Bret to apologize and hopefully clear the air even a little bit between them. Bret said if he saw Shawn at all that weekend, he'd skip the induction, and if he saw Shawn during the induction he'd walk off the stage. Shawn told Vince that if that was the case, he was fine just leaving the room during the induction before Bret's.

When it comes to the recent years of WWE, I'm fairly new to wrestling. Thus, seeing this video got me thinking, has the Undertaker ever had an actual feud of any kind with Ric Flair?

TL posted:

Although while Orton was briefly REALLY over as a face, he quickly had his legs cut out from under him by dropping the belt to Triple H after a month. And I can't really blame them for putting the belt on HHH so quickly, since Randy SUCKED as a face.

CubsWoo posted:

Not to knock Taker, but it's pretty easy for a wrestler with a decent talent set to produce quality matches when you're rarely expected to wrestle outside of PPVs.

no. bob holly. he'd hit someone with his forearm and then look confused like he hadn't mentally put together the concept of PIECE OF METAL + SOME CHUMP'S SKULL = WIN.

That refs reaction is perfect - it's the exact reaction I would have if I walked into my bathroom at 2 am and saw a giant spider on the wall

Burrito posted:

There was a ppv or RAW within the past year that had someone with a sign that was a giant cardboard cut out of John Cena's face, and it rose up from the crowd in an ominous manner. A gif was made of it and I need that gif and maybe even what show it was on. Does anyone know what the hell I'm talking about?

Ok what the hell, sombody get off their rear end and pull this out of their gif folder. Jerusalem, Hulkamatt, come on.

Hogan's Meat Shoes was a ridiculous post in GBS about a guy thinking Hogan sponsored shoe's that had little compartment in them that you could store pieces of meat in and when you walked the sweat and warmth from your feet would warm them up.

I believe this is it. Starts around 28:10. The preceding segment with Edge is pretty good too.

bobkatt013 posted:

Speaking of Edge has there been any updates to his condition? Has he begun rehab yet?

CM Junk posted:

Wait. This whole time we've been hating on Cena's promos because he said "fart juice" in passing during a promo in 2006 when he wasn't even champion?

I hate SA so much sometimes.

When you've been a veteran/legend for that long and you're still around, at a certain point, it becomes awful hard to make fans boo you. This is more for the Undertaker, though--the whole Undertaker gimmick is "I pick a guy, assault him, and leave," the only time they successfully made him a heel in the 21st century involved stripping that away entirely and making him an evil biker who was anal-retentive about respect and made leather jackets out of people and such. It'd be pretty hard to get people to boo the present, classic-style Undertaker.

As for Michaels, the fans want to like him because he's Shawn Michaels, he moves face merch becuase he's Shawn Michaels, and there really isn't a face they can heel him up against. No one can get full-blown heel heat against Cena anymore due to the part of the fanbase that wants his blood, so the only main-event face he could turn on for any reaction would be Triple H, and that's only slightly better. That being said, if Michaels really wants to be a heel, he'll find a way. He can pull it off.

Kentucky Shark posted:

That's a pretty special circumstance though...Michaels can get heel heat in Canada without much effort. I also remember the MSG crowd booing him pretty heavily at WM 20. Other than that, he's been a pretty permanent face since he came back from his back injury. It's just hard to boo a guy who is still the best overall performer in the company even after he had a near-career ending injury.

That is a wonderful video. I especially like JBL's "I've always wanted to do that" line. And just seeing how many people they get to do it. And Al Snow's face at the end is priceless.

At least Tony can laugh at both Dusty and Brain making fun of him.

On one of the Botchamanias, there's audio from Cornette talking about that botch. Although I'm sure it hurt, he makes it sound absolutely hilarious.


I see your SSP into RKO and raise you a powerbomb into diamond cutter.

Yeah. Their finisher pretty much ruled. Chaz hit the superkick and while the opponent was falling, D'Lo hit the Lo-Down before the guy even hit the floor. It ruled.

What was up with that episode of Raw where HBK (and possibly HHH too, maybe a DX angle?) were stalking Coach backstage? I remember it was borderline psychedelic, it had lots of weird lighting and music and was hilarious. Think it was from 2007.

I'd love a video of this but "HBK Coach backstage" on Youtube doesn't turn anything up.

Does anyone know what the hell I'm talking about?

The Gooker happened around the time that Undertaker debuted and a lot a people thought that he would be the one getting the egg man gimmick rather then the dead man gimmick.
