Its monday and to all us wrestling fans, its Raw time! So here is an installment
that I used to do once in a while over at the now defunct site of bubblews called-
You know you're a wrestling mark when-
-every time you put on a red and black flannel shirt, you immedidately say-
"BANG ! BANG !"
-that one time when security had to escort you out of a building, you started to hum Bill Goldberg's entrance theme. . . and you even did the pause and exhale before walking away.
-you know who Linda Mcmahon is
-Your knowledge of old school "wrestling territories" helped you ace U.S. geography in high school.
-a coworker gets injured and you stand near him with your arms up in the air in the form of an "X".
-when you cut yourself shaving your bald head, you imagine your bladeing in a match.
-you always volunteer to help set up tables and request for someone to yell at you, "Devon! Get the tables !"
-You literally wonder as to how David Otunga still has a job, seriously, no kayfabe here, how does he still have a job!
-You have a subscription to WWE SlamCrate . . . (I do)

@Plethos .. Why must we always be at war, be it among humans or be it when we are with god....I want a god who is more mature and more powerful to snuff the life out of all wars and differences and diseases and hunger...and desires...hmmm...tall order.

@Plethos haha thats awesome great job coming up with these! I am sure if there are other WWE fans here they will chuckle and agree with some of these. My son and I worked on a slideshow presentation this weekend for cyber school. He chose to do John Minton aka Big John Studd.

I had no idea knowledge of the territories had that benefit. I sadly know who Linda is, but I don't know about the red and black fiannel shirt bit. I think that was before my time. And I get the other examples except David Otunga.

@Hanyouyomi - naw, its just that hes not really necessary when you think about it. at any time theres about 5 tv play by play guys on sd. im really starting to hate the multitude of ring side t.v. commentators on both shows. 2 is greaat, 3 is pushing it for me. i cant even watch the nfl pre game shows because they all seem to have 5 or more talking over one another. its too much to try to focus on.

@Plethos Monday Night Wars was my childhood from 1998 to about 2001. Tis partially why I detest FastLane's main event, because Goldberg's intro had me feeling nostalgic for WCW which got me hyped. Then that finish blue-balled me.
And I marked out when Bubba Dudley appeared at Royal Rumble 2015. And the Dudelys' feud with the Wyatts was fun.
I also looked up David Otunga, and it's no wonder I don't know who that is as I don't watch Main Event or Superstars. I'm guessing he's more despised than Michael Cole...?

I use to watch matches in person for many years. One of my friends and I would go and we enjoyed seeing Hulk Hogan, who was so good at entertaining people. I do know who Linda McMahon is and can name many of the people that were the stars in the old days.

I would have failed in all of those except I know who Linda MacMahon is (well, if it is Vince's wife, then I know who it is...but, for that I would actually be guessing;)...and although I have cut my head shaving a whole bunch of times, I can't say I've ever done that before, but I remember as a kid watching Hulk Hogan wrestling, and wishing that someday I would be bald-um, now that I am older, this seems like a bad thing to wish for;P.
