Times When You've Actually Marked Out Watching TNA

[KAMALARAMBO: BOOMSHAKALAKA!!!]

I don't see the phrase "marking out" thrown around as much as I used to and even more so not in regards to TNA. Still, I think it is a fun term to use and I'm pretty sure everyone knows what I mean by it.

Anyway, what are yours?

Although I've enjoyed plenty of TNA, the one moment that really stands out for me is when Scott Steiner busted out a Frankensteiner in I think 2007 after not having done one for like 10 years. Really, I never thought I'd see him do it again.

[Magic knows Black Lives Matter]

No joke on nothing, Sting no-selling that guitar shot at BFG 2006 isn't just my favorite TNA moment, it's one of my favorite moments in wrestling period.

[TK The Friendly Robot]

Most recently? When Mr. Anderson came out last week and kicked Bully Ray's ass. I really wasn't expecting him to be back and I am actually a big fan of the guy. There's been so many more that it would be very hard to list them all but the ones Magic knows Black Lives Matter and KAMALARAMBO: BOOMSHAKALAKA!!! mentioned are up there. Desmond Wolfe absolutely owning Angle on his debut has got to be right up there too.

I marked like a kid for this too. Things that made me mark:
- Double A winning the title.
- The Knockouts four-way in a cage at I think Lockdown 2007? Honestly I don't even remember the proper circumstances of the match or the stips, I just know that I have never marked for women's wrestling until that moment.
- 'I'm Bully Ray. And I'M FROM NEW YORK CITY.'

[AdamAFL was sooooo wrong]

My go to for this is the Joe/Angle confrontation on Angle's Impact debut. For some reason Tenay yelling "OLYMPIC SLAM! OLYMPIC SLAM!" is engrained in my memory forever as one of my favourite commentary lines, and he was just calling the f***ing move.

As Magiconz said, Sting no-selling Jarrett's guitar shot at BFG '06 was amazing. I get goosebumps everytime I see it.

More recently Aries winning the World Title and Storm beating Roode at Bound For Glory last year had me mark out a bit (specifically the Aries win).

There have been far too many to list although a lot of them will be similar to the one's I posted in the "defining images of TNA" thread or whatever it was called that was posted recently.

Even after the shitstorm of a show that was Bound For Glory - AJ winning the World Title and celebrating with the crowd had me marking out.

Roode winning the TNA I literally screamed at my t.v "Suck on that you Steve Austin wannabe"

[carp (SPC, Itoh Respect Army)]

A lot in the early days of the X-Division. I remember in a ladder match, Low-Ki was on a ladder, and it got tipped over. He landed feet-first on the top rope and bounced back up so the ladder was upright again.

You don't mark out for that, I don't understand you.

[The Spelunker!]

The first time I saw the Canadian Destroyer.

[Celgress]

1.) Kurt Angle debuts

2.) Monday Night Warz II episode one

3.) Gail Kim becomes the first ever KO Champion

[gladstone]

I remember marking out a lot in 2004/2005 when it first came on Fox Sports, mostly because of the X-Division. I had no exposure to any of those guys or that style until that point.

Some of my fondest memories of those days:

- Joe's undefeated streak, including that time Delirious showed up.
- Pretty much any AJ/Abyss match. I thought they had great chemistry together.
- Sonjay Dutt and his gold pants!
- The Unbreakable 3-way

[Harry The Arrow was Wrong!]

- Jeff Jarrett returning as the 5th member of Team Angle just before Lockdown 2007
- As mentioned above, Steiner busting out the frankensteiner was crazy
- Steiner doing the Steiner Screwdriver for the first time in years against Petey Williams
- AA winning the World Title

[HMARK Center]

While I don't remember which PPV it was, there was a big gauntlet match at the start of one PPV, and three of the last guys in the ring were Chris Daniels, Elix Skipper, and Low Ki...and they reformed Triple X by beating the crap out of everybody else who was left in the ring.

I legitimately marked out for that.

[Vampiro138]

like others said Sting no-selling Jarrett's guitar shot is on the top

then joe, after angle debut and headbutted him, joe has a little blood on his forehead and angle is celebrating, and theres this shot where angle is looking happy and joe is right behind him looking like he is about t murder him, the blood on his forehead completes that look just a really cool moment.

and then as much as i hated hogan in tna...the ending to the hogan vs sing match when hogan hulks up and saves sting from immortal it was marking out big time for that.
