If you could get zapped by a MIB style neuralizer and become a mark again...

[Lacky]

No, I would rather be a smark discussing wrestling on boards such as this. Otherwise I'll be on twitter called TripleHLover and have a account dedicated to marking at Triple H or something.

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

Not sure though. Do 2012 WWE marks mark the same as the marks in the past did? Is there as much to mark about other than John Cena?

In the AE or Ruthless Aggression Era there was MUCH more to mark over right? If I get zapped do I become a 9 year old who likes Brodus' dancing?

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo

You still are yourself, you just think wrestling is real.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo

Okay but do we find the stupid stuff like his dancing enjoyable? Need specifics to answer this question :tough:.

Because otherwise there is only John Cena entrances/promos to mark over, as the crowd never goes crazy in modern WWE for anything else, apart from Ryback, but I mark for Ryback now so no difference.

Do you find it enjoyable now? how would you thinking wrestling is real have an effect on Brodus' dancing? If you think it sucks now you'll think it sucks after

You really don't get this premise at all lmao. You are still yourself. You aren't a 9 year old. You just think the matches are real. You think that the characters they play are real. You think the promos they cut are how they really feel and you don't understand kayfabe. How are you not following this?

It has nothing to do with John Cena, Ryback or the crowd.

If I thought it was real I wouldn't be a fan, so no I'd rather not be zapped. The only few shining lights which keep my albeit waining interests are smark finds.

Did you not grow up a wrestling fan?

 

[Crayo]

I'm judging how much of a mark I'd be based on everyone around me (the crowd). I completely understand it lol. No way would I become a mark in modern WWE, I think I'd actually enjoy it more as a "smark".

Yep, but even that was simply out of habit for a long time. I can't see me sticking around weekly for anything currently tbh, unless a big return happened.

I sure don't see how considering WWE caters to marks.

and no, you wouldn't just magically follow the crowd if you were a mark anymore than you do as a smark. Just because you think wrestling was real you would suddenly become a sheep and following what the crowd says? That's not true, the only way that would happen is if that's how you already are. The only thing changing is you go from understanding kayfabe, to not.

 

[Dat Kid1]

Nope, the "mark" version of me was not socially acceptable. Chicks dig internet fans tunga:

You seriously don't think marks are generally sheep?

For arguments sake let's say you are a closet wrestling fan (I am anyway lmao) and you don't go about your everyday life discussing it with people

This discussion is simply for the sake of your enjoyment of wrestling while you are watching a show

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

Most marks are kids, and kids are sheep. You are still you, you just think wrestling is real after you get zapped.

Can you please tell me you are now following this simple concept?

 

[Lockard 23]

The vast majority of wrestling fans (except for small children under the age of 4-5) know wrestling is 'fake', so I could never be a mark again in that sense. There are so many things that make it obvious wrestling is fake, that the show is much more enjoyable knowing it's not real.

 

[Crayo]

All marks are sheep, that's why WWE can push who they want on to them. Just because I question the questions it doesn't mean I don't understand the concept ity:.

More reasons for me to say no way to becoming a mark. Also I'd probably boo Ambrose if I was a mark, even if that's what a heel is meant to get I'd feel like I'm dying inside.
