20 posts in and no Triple H?
The man who asked, am I going over? The man who didn't want to look weak in any screenshots for a WWE video game? The man who buried many due to his insecurity? Even after he obtained power in the WWE. E.g. summer of 2011, CM Punk.

Literally the exact opposite. Source: man who Colt has helped make generous money in professional wrestling. His fellow wrestlers love him. No disputing that. As a fan, try talking to him when you’re not buying something from him. He wants nothing to do with you because it’s all about him. That comes from at least several people that had the same experience I did. You can also listen to his podcast and hear how much he talks about “his run” in the WWE. Over and over. Yeah, no thanks.

Dude has a limited amount of time to make his money, and there’s a lot of people who want to buy his merch. I don’t think him choosing not to leave money on the table by jawing with you makes him a mark.

Yet he acted like a phony kissing the asses of whoever bought his stuff. Thought he might be having a bad day until at least several people told me they had the same exact experience without even hearing my story first. Their experiences were even worse involving the way he talked about himself, so yeah he’s a big mark for himself. That’s ok. People fall for his bs. He’s a good worker like that. I’ll give him that. Listening to his podcast is enough proof that he thinks way too highly of himself and that’s ok too. I stopped listening a while ago. I have no time for him anymore.

As much as I love the guy, Bret Hart has to be the single biggest mark for himself in the history of the business. Ryback had to be up there though. Dude actually thought he should be getting the same money as Cena. In a way, I think Bret being so proud of his work helped him put out some great performances. But still....yeah.

Low Ki, who once threw a temper tantrum during a match in CZW because he couldn't get his stuff in, not to mention his multiple flouncings from various promotions. EDIT: For anyone who hasn't heard the story I'm referencing, here you go. Minor language warning.

He's what, 5'4" and expects to be booked like a main eventer everywhere he goes. I know his WWE run wasn't going well, but Daniel Bryan was pretty much booked the same way and eventually won the title. The fact that he's had chances at most of the major companies in wrestling and yet is stuck in the mid-level US indies should say enough.

Bob Holly.
I wouldn't say he's the biggest but after hearing STWW definitely thinks he's more important than he actually was.

Wrestler: Bret Hart
I'm a fan of Bret's, but his autobiography started getting really self-aggrandizing from his first World title reign onward. He seemingly never pushed for a bigger payday as WWF champion, which kept everyone else's pay lower as a result. He had glowing words for how Eric Bischoff treated him immediately after Owen passed away, but post-stroke he vigorously complains about the guy. At least when Bobby Heenan lost his spark, it was because he offered advice and was ignored. Felt like Bret just expected things to be handed to him. (If he should be mad at anyone from WCW, Russo was the guy who booked him against Goldberg. Bischoff wasn't even there.)
Promoter: Dixie Carter
Bro, I'm telling ya, Dixie was as big a mark for herself as she was for Russo, bro. Tens of millions of dollars spent, yet the person with a PR company could never run any kind of campaign to promote her company. Then, all the reality show aspirations. Yikes.

Gail Kim Even if you want to say it's unintentional on her part her 2nd run in TNA is ridiculous and on par with HHH reign of terror She got to leave the ring beating 2 of the best KO's they had on the roster and deliver a farewell speech without putting anyone over. Also keep in mind they bum rushed her into the Maria/Allie feud and put her in over Allie who's story called for her to get revenge against Maria and not Gail Kim This, at least Bret made money. Kim actually took a pay cut so she could be champion.

I have met him twice, and he was really cool to me in a genuine way that I didn’t feel like I was being worked or sold something at all. However, I was buying something from him both times. But, I have heard he is really cool to pretty much anyone who wants to talk. I guess if you had a different experience, there isn’t much I can say. But, I saw him being cool to a lot of people that couldn’t have all been buying merch.

It most certainly did and you accept that about Bret but he took it way too far sometimes which is what got him his ridicule
You see what happens when he just turns his brain off which is what happened in WCW but you also see the guy who take it way too seriously which opened up its own can of worms in WWF
He never really had an even keel

Low Ki took the money and no showed the event haha. Deep down he's a conman who sees himself as a tough guy.

Already knew he had a shitty attitude and holds himself in high regard but that gives me an even more negative opinion of him
