Biggest Smark-Out Moment

[Guest Boyo]

As opposed to biggest mark-out moment... instead of discussing what things over the years have made you "mark out", ie: letting go, accepting kayfabe for a few moments, cheering your favourite wrestler, shouting at the TV, all the things 7 year olds do :P...

 

What moments, matches or other stuff in wrestling have made you "smark out", ie: made you think "Golly! That was close to the bone!", or "I never expected them to actually admit that/do that/say that", or simply, perhaps made you enjoy the product at a different level because it recognises your smarky knowledge?

 

Could make for some interesting discussion! :xyx

 

Cheers!

The Matt Hardy/Edge storyline. In the beginning at least. Hardy crashing the Edge matches and the whole worked/shoot deal that went on was fantastic.

[Guest yoyo]

For me it would be when Cena won the title at WM 21. I think everyone here would happily agree.

Almost everyone ;)

Definitely agree. The way the story was adapted from the real life situation made it one of the hottest feuds of the year.

 

Other smark-out moments:

 

Paul Heyman and Rob Van Dam's speeches at ECW One Night Stand.

 

Joey Styles' speech this week on RAW.

 

All three of those speeches touched on controversial subjects well known by internet fans. The smark in me loved all three of these incidents because at least it tells me WWE know about these things too.

I marked out. Most of the arena did too. And did so until the move to RAW later in the year.

I knew someone would agree! Great smark-out moment.

[Paul 584]

Nooo, Dra said he MARKED out, not SMARKED. ;)

[Guest remi MPW]

Joey Styles' speech this week on RAW was superd.

it raised alot of good points. ECW will be great!

and im a WWE fan through and through

[Guest Dickie Hyde]

Joey's promo AKA: Shoot on RAW

 

Matt Hardy returning to attack Edge

 

Triple H's promo to Cena pre-wrestlemania 22, saying that he's not a very good wrestler etc...

 

It's a hard one to think about this... Might take some time.

Smark wise I'd say the moment when Eddie bladed REALLY deeply and I was sat there thinking, "F*** me, that's a blade job gone bad". Usually when blading happens I think we don't really go all smark at it even though we're all aware it's self-inflicted (unless your in a match against New Jack) so its has to be either really good or bad to catch my attention these days....

[Guest MartynJ]

Like whats been stated

 

Paul E's shoot and RVD's at ONS

 

Matt hardy/ Edge/lita, on Byte this, was a good shoot and i still watch it now when im bored

 

There loads i could think of

[Omega 354]

I was lead to belive that at least Heyman's "shoot" was actually put past Vince and Co. before hand very much like Style's latest "shoot" which he wrote but was ok'd by management 1st....

Excellent post, I totally agree :xyx Eddie's blade job that day was crazy.

 

Heh another moment i guess we all smark out is to a casual fan, or a non-fan, like my mother. I was watching Backlash and she happened to be in the same room. She saw Triple H's blood and was like "that's so obviously a blood capsule of some sort" Kind of made me laugh, and there I was trying to explain to her, and she was coming up with "you wouldn't bleed that much" etc...

 

Kinda funny, but made me go all smarky :D

[Ryan 188]

the Eddie Blade-Job your talking about, was it the Judgement Day 04' blade-job?

[Guest Dickie Hyde]

the Eddie Blade-Job your talking about' date=' was it the Judgement Day 04' blade-job?[/quote']

 

The Eddie one is yes. And the HHH one from Backlash just gone.

That Judgement Day 04' blade job was sick! i cant believe my brothers ex gf had the Gaul to tell me it was Tomato Ketchup! :evil

Some guys are just to ignorant and that realy pisses me off but hey we gotta deal with it.

[Guest CoTT]

HAHA! :lol

 

I get that the whole time as well.

[Guest horsemansmiler]

I think the first edge/matt hardy attack

 

 

Joeys commentary at ONS " thats more painfull than having to play simon dean on monday nights"

 

 

The fire bump. I thought wwe was far too kitty kat to use fire i was wrong sorry vince

 

 

the god angle

[Guest Drake]

When someone says to me "Ohh that Ketchup" then I put a face of "You have to be kidding me". I mean I really don't know how can someone be so stupid.

[Ryan 188]

Whenever someone says that to you, go to the kitchen, get some Ketchup give it to the person who thinks thats what they use, and tell them to make it look like blood, then watch them throw a thousand excuses when they cant.

[Guest Kanenite]

I actually never get the blood issue. I used to get it a lot when even I didn't understand but I think as people close to me know i'm mad on Wrestling they believe me when I tell them that they use a blade. Funny because I used to think it was a capsule from seeing HBK bleed at Royal Rumble 03 and something lying next to him.

[Guest Danny Styles]

recently i would have to say Joey Styles promo on Raw because i never expected him to be allowed to say some of that stuff

 

 

but my main one would be the FIRST time Matt Hardy attacked Edge backstage before WWe crapped the angle up, i genuinely thought it was real

[Murph 93]

When I heard about the ECW PPV...If that counts...
