"Why is Bobby Lashley on ECW? He's too good!!"

[4real]

Watching wrestling with marks is fun. Really fun.

Watching Smackdown! (an excellent episode of Smackdown! I might add) with my sister's boyfriend last night, and it was entertaining from start to finish. Here's some highlights.

During the Chavo Scotty match:

Michael Cole: "Gregory Helms watching on"
S Boyfriend: "Who is Gregory Helms?"
Me: "He used to be The Hurricane"
S Boyfriend: "What's up wit that?"
Me: "Yeah that guy, he's been Cruiserweight Champ for a year, where have you been?"
S Boyfriend: "I don't usually watch Smackdown! It sucks."

MITB Ladder Match promotion:

S Boyfriend: "Who the heck is CM Punk?"
Me: "Erm.....he's in ECW"
S Boyfriend: "Well that explains it, don't watch that either"
Me: "Smart man"

S Boyfriend: "What is this TNA thing Kurt Angle's in now?"
Me: "Well he got fired from WWE about 6 months ago"
S Boyfriend: "Really? For what?"
Me: (Trying to think of the easiest way to explain it) Erm....drug abuse, he tore 3 muscles in one match, so they fired him"

During the 6 man tag:
S Boyfriend: "Who are these guys (Deuce & Domino), are they waitors?"
Me: "It's a 50's gimic, and it sucks. They look like RTC don't you think?"
S Boyfriend: "God yeah, i used to remember that Stevie guy....
Me: "Steven Richards"
S Boyfriend: "Yeah, he always got his ass kicked, he was terrible"

During King Booker's entrance, just as Booker enters the ring, looking humble:

Me: "ALL HAIL!!"
S Boyfriend: "Ugh...."
Me: "What?"
S Boyfriend: "Just look at his face, trying to act like a king. Does he think this is how Kings acted in England?" Can't stand him. When are they gonna stop this crap"
Me: "Until KOTR probably"
S Boyfriend: "Ugh, i can't take it anymore"

S Boyfriend: "Who do you think will represent Trump at Mania?"
Me: "I'm thinking Bobby Lashley"
S Boyfriend: "Why is Lashley on Smackdown!? He's too good for that.
Me: * Stunned silence *

S Boyfriend: "Umaga has to be the most boring wrestler ever, why is he IC Champ, he sucks" (Ok he's right on this one)

Also he thought Finlay was stereotypically Irish (Me: "What do you expect?"), hates Cena and thinks Khali should be fired.

Still at least we got a good laugh out of Matt Hardy's giggling movements on the ring apron. Hilarious.

..No love for Stevie?! ...Shut the front door. >=(

[odanobunaga]

[ronsimmons]

DAMN

[Tea & Crumpets]

He hates Stevie, King Booker and SD, didn't know who Gregory Helms was, and thinks Lashley's too good for ECW or SD? I don't know whether to laugh or scream.

Neither, I pity the poor soul.

He also doesn't visit the internet for wrestling, watch it regularly , or even seem to understand the whole concept of it being predetermined.
So his actions are justified

To the first 2 I'll say fair enough, but not know it's predetermined, come on! Unless he's like 10,which obviously isn't the case, he should know. I honestly thought pretty much everybody over the age of 16-18 actually knew it was predetermined now, and the 'marks' just chose to ignore that. I didn't think anybody still really believed 100% in kayfabe.

[Hulk With A Mustache]

I can forgive him for not liking Stevie Richards. He probably didn't see his ECW run and only saw him in WWE jobbing to everyone. If you only see a guy lose, then you're gonna think he sucks.

However, I can't forgive him for not liking King Booker. ALL HAIL KING BOOKER!!!!

[OGBoardPoster2005]

"Marks"(as people would say)sometimes choose to go with whatever the company feeds them rather than thinking for themselves. Some "marks" believe that Smackdown is still terrible but that is mainly due to how it was from 2004-prior to CW launching. From what I can evaluate they see more appeal in Raw guys(Cena,Edge,HBK,HHH,Orton,and Jeff Hardy) than the Smackdown guys(Batista,Taker(despite being possibly the most over wrestler in WWE today),Booker,Finley,and Rey Mysterio). Plus the whole live thing gives Raw a big show effect to it. Smackdown,however feels like a regular ole wrestling show. In defense of him saying "Stevie sucks" you have to realize that he has only possibly seen Stevie from 2000 onward and not the one everyone loves from 1995-1997 the same goes for him liking Lashley its the WWE influence.

I can understand why he hates Booker he probably thinks it looks really stupid and in that case...its working for WWE plus wouldn't you think that some guy prancing around acting like a king and speaking with a british accent despite being from Texas looks stupid? You want to see pain try seeing me playing wrestling videogames against my relatives who are ALL Batista/Cena/Mysterio fans. They say I cheat in SD vs Raw 06 because in their minds there is no way that Chris Jericho can beat either of the three despite me being unbeaten against them(even in 3 on 1 handicap matches).

[4TheGlory]

Stuff like this makes me wonder why I still even got to shows with these people

[Galluchadore]

i just wonder how old he really is. If hes over the age of 15 i really fear for him.

He's 21. He also didn't know about Eddie's death until 3 weeks after it happened.

[balmudo]

Bah, I wouldn't call him a mark per se. A mark, to me, would still watch the shows regularly. He sounds like more of a casual fan, or just some guy who hasn't watched it in a long time..

And thats why Stevie won't get a push. Now stop asking for one.

[Austin's Middle Finger]

I agree with him more than Lance Storm.
