Do you still have the ability to go into "Mark mode"?

[Green Arrow]

I see a hell of alot of negativity around the IWC, mostly coming from people who claim to understand all the ins and outs of "DIS BISNUS"

That got me wondering, can YOU personally switch off the part of your brain that wants to overanalyse everything that happens, and just run with the flow as a fan??

I went through a stage where I just couldn't, and it most certainly had an adverse effect on my ability to enjoy the product, but now, I've just managed to run with the flow, and its a hell of alot more entertaining!

I find it much harder to do it during a RAW for example, however at PPV's i seem to have no problem just becoming a fan again.

[Heartbreaker]

Of course I do. Whenever a huge moment involving my favourite superstars happens and going to live events.

[Turd Ferguson]

All the time. That's why I still watch.

[Bo Rida]

Sort of, if a match, moment or promo is good enough it can make me switch from my more detached viewpoint and draw me into the moment, it's perhaps most noticeable in Undertaker's WM matches where he (and his opponent) briefly make me think that he may actually lose. Sadly this doesn't happen very often.

Everything else is on a sliding scale depending on who is involved, how it's been booked and how fun it is, I can often sit back and enjoy NXT as a pure mark (the are exceptions) whereas Orton or Del Rio boring the hell out of me will put me straight back into smark mode.

[Green Arrow]

I botched the question...

[The Tank]

Very rarely. But it's pretty noticeable when I do.

Man, I was shouting at the TV when it looked like The Shield was gonna fight The Wyatts.

Yeah, in retrospect, that probably would've sucked, but both groups have been booked well enough that they had me believing it would be awesome.

Any live event. I'll go to a Raw, absolutely love it, then see online that people hated it.

Something about being there live and starting chants and stuff, it makes you into a little kid again.

Absolutely... Never been to a live event, (being in Aus, and nowhere near a city doesn't help there). But it's like watching Footy on the TV, I just can't! But put me in that stadium surrounded by 75k other fans, I love it!!

[MiLB Fan]

Sure, especially when I see a show live. Walking into the seating area and seeing the ring and the big screen and stage always gets me pumped up for the show.

["Gentleman" AJ Powell]

I only have two modes, Beast and Depeche.

[1 Free Moon-Down with Burger]

Sure do.

Usually happens at live events where I'm too busy to look at the Internet.

Mania 28 was a beautiful day for me.

[SeVeN: #TheBadGuy.]

Definitely. The last time was the brawl at the end of Raw. When chaos erupted, full on Mark mode.

If I ever lose the 'Mark' in me I will be done with wrestling.

No Brie Mode?

[Deleted]

Of course. It happens at least once a week, if not more for me.

Oh wait, did you mean Mark Henry Mode?

That only comes out when I reach out and touch faith.

[Instant Classic]

Pretty much any Cena/Orton thing.

[Deleted]

Sure I do, if I didn't I wouldn't even bother watching.

[A Platypus Rave]

Yep.

[Deleted]

I keep assuming I don't but it keeps on happening.

I'm pretty sure no one would ever take me seriously again if they were sitting in my living room during Shield vs Rhodes.

[Phil Parent]

Yes, rather easily. When they do something that triggers my imagination.
