What’s the biggest “mark for themselves” moment you can remember?
>>19487256Badass taker
Everyone that actually gets over is a mark for themselves.
>>19487256Triple Paul having a fake retirement announcement because of his fake broken arm and the entire crowd just chanting "You tapped out" at him the whole time even though he started fake crying and played to the crowd multiple times for sympy
>>19487256
>>19487256Would you believe that right now there's a woman in this same company where her gimmick is that she collects belts and that in that same company there were two closeted gay dudes who went around saying they are the best tag team in the world while carrying 3 companies tag belts but the not the belt of the company they were saying that shit in?FTR bringing their little souvenir belts with them everywhere and sasha hauling trash around the world is one heck of self-mark parade.
>>19487256triple h after a pay for view begging for cheers
>>19487256John Cena ripped this off yesterday kek
>>19487311this was based tho
>>19487256the baby gender reveal was worse than this
Montez flipping and everyone acting shocked.
>>19487256Was he taking a knee for BLM?
>>19487341Nope, Russo Tard
>>19487256Breaking the throne
Phil's worked shoot promo.
CuckMan Phil
Every single week in AEW Cody would have a self-mark moment. He contributed so consistently to the strange dream-like feel of the show, where his ego reality was bleeding into random parts of each Dynamite
>>19487256Probably H's mania entrance where he wore the retarded cyber armor or war armor.
Anything Jeff Jarrett did in TNA
>>19487853based I miss how Lynchian early AEW was
>>19488644Fuck Jarrett for burying Monty Brown
HHH and Taker calling their match at Wrestlemania "End of an Era Match" specially after their second match was just built on wrestlers saying how epic it was for them to face each other at Wrestlemania even though they had already done it.
>>19487256whenever the last time they gave becky lynch a mic was
>Mark for themselves thread>Half the answers are about a certain Connecticut blue blood Should just mention the obvious where Paul didn’t let any promotional footage for a SVR game show him being pinned or beaten up
>>19487256Not the biggest but the most recent is Último Moné.
>>19487256https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-qL4Pj17wo
>>19488702I thought Monty Brown couldn't fully commit to TNA because of family issues?
>>19487256remember when Cody hugged that referee at the brodie lee tribute show and looked directly into the camera. His nickname backstage was "Sociopath"
>>19487295Kek I had forgot about this
Anything Moné
>>19487256Cody's solved racism promo. Always and forever.
Goldberg seething on Twitter about Asuka recently is pretty funny
>>19487256Basically everything that happens in AEW and that's not tribalism it's facts because the inmates are running the asylum over there
>>19487256Triple H being front and center of the WM poster and narrating the ads and all that.
>>19487256Last night when John Cena retired and everyone had a good time. Shame on us all for marking out but it was an appropriate time to do it.
>>19487341That was giga cringe, so no.
>>19487256Whats this pic?
Cody CM Punk both are faggots
>>19489028Lol remember on the boston raw when he randomly came out and big leagued cena
>>19487256Undertaker literally burying AJ Styles in his last match. It was indicative of his entire mentality.
>>19487256The year long John Cena retirement tour. Never seen a more narcissistic self mark than this fucking wigger.
Paul doing Kimura's to Brock Lesnar.
>>19488644speaking of Jeff where has he been? i recall they were setting up a World title match between him and Mox but that was quielty dropped
Triple H doing the "Then, Now, Forever" thing at the start of the shows.
>Company man and the main title holder run>Notorious for active year burials and creative death grip>Notorious for beefing with almost all the top names and wannabe top talents that he could get away with>Kings of Kings>I am the game>Can't stop making everything about himself post retirement>"le heckin' leatherjacket" type gimmick changes for everyone>Does the PLE promo voice overs>Mic time in almost every PLE There's a case to be made old man Hunter is marking out to himself in the mirror everyday, with the side note that he never did anything Vince didn't OK at the end when active and as a current whatever job title he has he's under theTKO-Endeavor-WWE conglomerate and their shareholders whims too.
>>19489396i completely forgot about this feud2013 in general is one of the most forgettable years in recent memory. what the fuck happened in 2013? without a doubt the jannetty of the 2010s
>>19489413>what the fuck happened in 2013?I cant remember anything notable in life in general either lol you're right
>>19489396Pauletty is so bad
>>19487335Leaving your boots in the ring has been around for decades, Cody's was cringe because no one believed he was retiring
Any time Haitch comes out when he really doesn't need to be there>Opens special shows for no reason usually with a long winded promo>Runs a video package about Hogan featuring his voice over on 3 separate shows>Comes out after Cena's retirement for some reason only to be booked>Comes out and declared a new era every 6 months
>>19487256This was so bad that Arn turned up to Cody's house to call him out for being a mark
>>19487256Triple H really mindbroke you all kek
Would also put the Bucks on the list too as pointless marks tooting their own horn way past it's best before expiry date.
>>19488880Mercedes Monke is just desperately trying to validate herself. I don't even know if she actually believes her own bullshit (like a true mark for themselves does).
This shit was almost 35 minutes
1. Cody2. hhh3. Becky4. Russo5. Seth
The night after Jeff Jarrett won the WCW title and him and Russo came out and cut a promo for 20 minutes about Jim Ross and the WWF.
>>19489412What a heel booker
>>19489413That was Daniel Bryan and Kane's year
>>19487256There's good contenders but nobody mentioning Dwaynetty's family tree that revealed he was actually nobody's cousin? And calling himself "High Chief" on it?????? He showed it like it was some grand reveal when it actually taught everyone his grandfather did a blood pact with another islander and boom that makes him the high chief of my hairy ass lmao. There's NO bigger mark than Dwaynetty, mark my words, and HHH is a close second. TK has a self esteem down the toilet so he will never be a self mark but the other two...
>>19487853In retrospect an extremely dimes gimmick if he actually would’ve slowly turned heel
Douglas has an arm so heavily bandaged that he looks like he’s auditioning for Mummy 3. They slug it out to start and Snow goes after the arm, smartly. Shane gets an elbow, but Snow pounds away. He goes up, and they fight on the top, but Francine crotches Snow and he bails. They brawl on the floor and Douglas gets dropped on the railing and crotched on the post. Geez, three ballshots and we’re not even 5:00 in. Back in, Snow knocks him down for two. Douglas dropkicks him out again, however. They do some brawling out there, and head back in, where Douglas gets a terrible clothesline and hits the chinlock. Necksnap and Shane sets up a bunch of chairs, but Snow slugs away. Shane returns fire. THRILLING. Shane gives him an atomic drop, and Snow fails to take a big bump on the intricately staged chairs, succeeding only in knocking a couple down awkwardly. Shane powerbombs him on them instead. That gets two. Snow comes back with a DDT and a clothesline as Joey starts into his “What a classic!” voice. Candido runs in and gets tossed, but Shane gets the belly-to-belly for two. Oh my god, someone kicked out of a belly-to-belly suplex? CALL THE PRESS! Snow heads out with a quebrada onto Bigelow and Candido to get rid of them, so we relocate to the floor again. Everyone has come out to watch the match. HHH would be proud. Snow goes up for a bodypress, but Shane rolls through for two. Snow Plow gets two. Francine gets involved and gets taken out, as does Candido. Snow goes up, gets a sunset flip, and Shane counters for the pin at 11:29. The crowd completely turns on that finish, tossing the heads into the ring in protest. The ECW locker room puts the guys on their shoulders like this was a ****1/2 classic or something, which only serves to accentuate what a disaster this was. Snow, with no point in being in the promotion any longer, would show up on RAW the next night and never return.Rating: ½*
>>19490611The more I read about Meltzer's analysis (I never really bothered to before) the more I realize he doesn't get the fundamentals of wrestling despite watching it his whole life.
>>19488909That was his WWE run.
>>19489754That show had like 10 minutes of wrestling on it. Then the year after they have a show where theres 7 minutes of wrestling
>>19488880Fucking upvoted and sharing this to r/SCJerk
>>19489026This, but also, Tony controls the industry simultaneously
>If there was ever a time for a 'Yes' chant, it's now
>>19487256/thread
>>19490562His ego was too big. The fans were begging for it
>>19490525>>19491052This takes the cake
>>19487256Dwayne doing that unnecesarly long segment at mania with the flamethrower.
>>19487853The "Cody Vortex" term caught on for a reason.
>>19487256Tony khan getting into the wrestling business
>>19491052Rocky fucked Daniel Garcia???
>>19487256Didn´t Edge book himself into winning the RR being the number 1 entrant?
>>19487256Triple Gay constantly inserting himself into the spotlight despite not being an on-screen character anymore.
>>19487853It was unironically kino and I never once was bothered by it. I quit watching AEW when entertaining shit like this disappeared
>>19487311And the legacy continues with JCW. I hope that was a one time deal.
>>19491052Motherfuck this might be it.A goddamn elementary school family tree presentation are you FUCKING serious?Unless it has to be things that happened specifically in the ring, It’s this.Nothing comes close. I still can’t believe that at least 2 people said this was a good idea.The most hilarious part of it is that it showed to the world that none of those coconut niggers are related to The Rock at all. Not one. What a fucking failure of of a presentation.
>>19491355Rock Derangement Syndrome
>>19491355And calls himself "High Chief Pieter Seuili" lmao. This was a failure on every level.
>>19491052yeah it's this hands down
>>19491366How?Another anon posted it, and I greatly agree.
>>19489567>Arn Anderson turns up at your house>Starts burning your suits>Starts calling you a bitch for wanting to retire after eating a loss>Tells you to get your ass back to work Unironically, how did Cody recover from such a brow beating?
>>19491052Holy kek I forgot about this
>>19491337I agree but I always felt ambivalent towards it because it created so unsettled creative tension with the rest of the show that was just building up and up until he was the hottest thing on the show by the time he left, he was getting bigger reactions than Punk albeit they were booing him out of every building
>>19491427Wtf? This actually happened lol? What a nice show of gratitude to all tech teams and little hands that travel the country to try to make your indy show look half decent while this guy travels in his private jet with his upside down excel notebook. Jesus fucking Christ lol.
Anytime Tiny appears on screen
>>19491461This but HHH post "retirement"
>>19489413>without a doubt the jannetty of the 2010sthat award goes to 2019, but 2013 is a close second
His whole gimmick is he deserves to be champion because his daddy wasn't. There is no way the locker room isn't seething about him
>>19488865The thing is though that people like hogan or stone cold would have done the same if they had as much pull
>>19491052>High Chief Seiuli (The Rock)Fuck's sake.
>>19491052>Joseph Yokozuna “Sefa” FatuLmao come on
>>19491052When have the samoans acted like self marks though? Don't get me wrong I totally hate them but it seems like Vince and then Hunter just lick their asses and hand them everything. They don't refuse to have matches or put people over, insist on having the belt etc. at least as far as I know.
>>19491672That rock family tree segment is literally the most self-mark moment in history. Shamelessly self-indulgent
