Things In 2007 You Marked Out For

[icansleep]

As 2007 gives way to 2008, what things in 2007 in life did you mark out for? Try to keep your marking out to things that debuted/were introduced/that happened in 2007.

I'll start.

I marked out for Halo 3 Mountain Dew. One because I love Halo 3 and two because I love Mountain Dew. Talk about a total mark out moment!

[Clash, Never a Meter Maid]

The football Mizzou Tigers' pretty-good run.

Amy Winehouse.

Besides a GREAT year in cinema?

Patriots going 16-0, pure piece of NFL history our generation has witnessed....

But as a wrestling fan, its three things:

(1) MVP/Matt Hardy program
(2) Jeff Hardy going main event
(3) Takeshi Morishima helping to make ROH the world's most legitimate wrestling title belt, which we haven't had since 1970s NWA.

Plus, its nice to see a monster of a champion that aint a tall hack rassler (Great Khali) or a steroid freak (Snitsky). Imagine if Dusty Rhodes' evil Mirror/Mirror universe "alternate," but came from Japan.

The ending of the remake of Halloween with the home movies and cool theme...

I'd say wrestling-wise would be RVD's return at RAW XV.

a) Being a damn good actress

The whole Raw 15th show, Jericho's Return and Santino in terms of Wrestling.

I marked very hard for the Simpsons movie. That show was like my childhood and to see it on the big screen was an amazing thing.
