I'm kinda torn on the guy... On one hand I think he's funny and intelligent... But I also think he's kinda a jerk. Namely his dislike for "small" wrestlers, and saying that need to "hit the gym more." The only thing I can think of when I hear that is men like Dynamite Kid who's career and life was ruined in part by a the pressure to be bigger and more muscular. Yes I know Marky isn't advocating steroid use, but how many people will rather do that than put the work in, especially with a busy travel and work schedule. Also there's his complaints that "Wrestling isn't mainstream anymore. It panders to a niche audience." To which I have to ask, is that necessarily a bad thing? Yeah, I can’t stand the gimmick. It’s eye-roll worthy but I love me some old TNA (the good and the bad) and as far as I can tell, he’s the best on YT at covering and recapping it

I watched the cut of all his Ring Ka King videos strung together and it was entertaining enough but the burnout of him telling the exact same jokes every video in the exact same way about the exact same people kind of burned me out of wanting to check him out much further. I don't know if he's gotten any better on it, but two and a half hours of recycling the exact same material really showed his weaknesses before I could even take in his strengths.

This will always get a laugh from me. I like when it happens when you’re least expecting it

I used to like his video but his schtick about hating smaller wrestlers is why I dislike him and a lot of old school talking heads like Cornette and Al Snow. Wrestling evolves so do the sizes of the wrestlers. You can dislike their style but you shouldn't hate them for stuff they're born with.

He has a video up about Del Wilks/Patriot's micro main event push in 1997.

The abrasiveness seems to be mostly an exaggeration on his end. Marky doesn’t seem to be like some of the other wrestling channels who can come off really dunderheaded (the kinds who gripe about the women’s divisions not having enough T&A or skeevy angles, and want all the controversial segments from Attitude back that didn’t age very well). I don’t get all that hung up over weight classes myself and I’m fine with any size main eventer down to Rey’s height or higher, but if that’s his preference then it’s fine.
That, and he can admit when TNA gets something fun going, there was a lot of bad there but his perspective on it is balanced.

Dude spent his whole Angelico video gushing about how awesome Lucha Underground was, so it's not like he rejects everything that isn't "Land of the Giants"-type wrestling.

One of his videos came up randomly on autoplay on YouTube. I'm glad I tuned in since he's easily my favorite Youtube wrestling personality. Plus he also has a simple rating system when it comes to matches. No half or quarter stars...I hate that stuff.
And I'll never get sick of:
"A wild SlapNuts appears.."

"The Idiot Abyss."
"The Obese 8-Year-Old Indian Boy."
"Jimmy 'Don't let him near a mic' Rave."
"Matt Boring"
"Jeff Hardy's Stoner Friend."
The guy is great at funny nicknames I'll give him that much.

His videos now has me using the term "slash zone" instead of getting hit in the "junk/knackers/bollocks."

I’m hoping he does a piece on Ultimate Warrior’s failed 1996 WWF stint because I think it fits the criteria of less than 30 televised matches. I’d give it an F only for the HHH squash. Everything else was either unmemorable or garbage like the farcical Goldust match and the feud with Jerry Lawler.

I watched his whole recap of Ring Ka King (including interviews with Magnus and Jimmy Rave) and it's quite an interesting journey.
Makes me wish Ring Ka King could have gone further
