Ha ha! Worse than me too! Guess we're not so bad, Ghost!

It took a combined 26,000 posts for you to find someone worse.

I don't think either one of you are really bad but even if I did, this guy would "take the cake" like Ghost said. This guy shouldn't complain about the wrestlers making fun of him. That is the job of the heels to do who cares they don't mean it. Oh well, one less useless person to fill a seat for someone worthy. IMO of course

Actually I'd be sort of honored to help a heel get over. As long as it didn't go too far. And very, very funny Mr. Funk. Actually I did get a much needed laugh out of your post. Thanks

I think the guy figures the wrestlers are making fun of him for real, not as part of a character. W/e. I know some of the wrestlers laugh at me backstage and shit, thats their choice. Im sure Holly the same. Its nothing to cry over and shit. They are just people .

[Superstar Steve]

Why is being called a "mark" so insulting?

Its not IMO. I think maybe the wrestlers made fun of him in other ways too. See my last post.

I admit, I'm overzealous and way over the top when it comes to my love for wrestling which is really unusual. I certainly don't fit the demographic profile of a wrestling fan - 17-25 male. But I sure as hell enjoy it as much as they do, and if they make fun of me for that and how I enjoy it at the show, I don't care. I'd die w/o it. Need a fix now lol. Haven't been to a show since April DAMN IT!

[Camo Bag]

That's so pathetic! He decides to give up on wrestling just because someone made fun of him? Obviously he doesn't understand cheap heat and how it works..

[Michael_R_Giusti]

haha what a mark.

wait. unless he wants to buy my tape.

That is REALLY sad. you sound like someone with serious addictions like alcohol, gambling, drugs. etc. I hope you were being somewhat facetious.

Maybe SMIDGE. I haven't gone without watching wrestling for more than a week (about 3 years ago) in YEARS. I honestly have to say it's what keeps me going.

Bundt cake?! Nah. Coffee....yeah! Wrestling and coffee! Keeps me going, and going, and going....(coffee sure does - in more ways than one lmao)

Sorry, I had that one coming.

[Michael_R_Giusti]

i don't get it.

[GrayGhost]

Yeah, you remind me of how I still am at times, and almost always used to be, as well as reminding me of a very hungry fish. You take the bait every time, get hooked, and reeled in. Thats why everyone has so much to say.

[Michael_R_Giusti]

Actually, yeah, let's just go with that.

[Rumors Rule]

You can ask most workers in TNA, WWE. or ROH.. They will tell you that at one point they were Marks.. Without being a mark, they would not be in the business today.

I will now get to my point. The reason I am no longer a 'financial' supporter of wrestling is because I was tired of being made fun of by the wrestlers, I was not personally made fun of but when (mostly indy) wrestlers do interviews, post on websties...ect. they call fans 'marks' I don't have to explaine to you that being called a 'mark' is an insult. .

Interesting. He is acting like he is a total insider yet has no clue where the term mark came from. He is a spectator who is not part of the show who is paying to see a rigged fight. What the fuck does he think mark means? God the term is used in many other areas and it all means the same thing, someone who is swindled and has for over 200 years now. It is a freaking carny term older than any wrestler he can name and he is going to whine about it?

This is why I love the know it all smart marks, half of them have no clue about anything that goes on but if they read the internet they suddenly know the entire biz. Great for laughs when they go on epic rants about shit without having a clue what they are talking about.

The reason I brought up friends being movie fans is because, we all know movies are 'fake aka scripted' but it is ok for that two hours to believe that it is 'real', people laugh, cry & even get angry over movies, but that's ok. Actors don't come out and call movie fans 'marks' But if you do the same with wrestling you are considered a 'mark'

Good thing he is not watching TV, as if watched an hour of Mindfreak magicians call their spectators marks. I am waiting for the dark day of magic smarks. Thankfully exposure is a big thing in the community and most things worth doing are still very contained.

They already have magic "smarks" as you call them. Go to Penn & Tellers website and any other magic message board.

They are there!

Okay... watch through the Muppet stuff. Penn & Teller show the "marks" how they pull off a classic illusion.

Yeah, change of pace and off thread.
