Most markouts during a 1-month period in a LONG time!

[Father Uncle Oscar]

It all started with the Shooting StaRKO. I was going CRAZY!! I said to myself, "There's no chance in Hell that PG WWE can top that." But then Summerslam rolls around. First, Kane opens the coffin... empty. He opens it again... vacant. Then again.... still nothing. I start thinking, "Alright, no Undertaker tonight." But then BOOM! There he is! They made us wait for the second most predictable event of the evening (besides Cena looking like Superman ), which I actually LOVE!

And now... it's time for the main event. Nexus vs. Cena and 6 other guys. Cena, Edge, Jericho, Morrison, R-Truth, Hart, Miz. Wait, wait, wait, wait, WAIT...... you're too late? Khali's healthy? Triple H is back? 7-on-6? No.

Daniel Bryan Danielson.

I. Went. Apeshit. Until Superman didn't turn heel. Other than that, I havn't marked out as much in a 1-month period in a LOOONG time. But I wasn't around for the Attitude Era, so I can't say much.

So my questions:

Were you the same way as I was in this period?

Is this a step away from the kids for WWE?

What will make us mark out next?

 

[Ferbian]

Were you the same way as I was in this period?

A bit indifferent, but sure I marked out for a few of the things. However I could certainly have marked out for the situations much more.

Is this a step away from the kids for WWE?

I'm not sure what you mean by this? The kids loved Bryan Danielson, they love Undertaker. They love cheering for good things, last night we saw good things, awesome things. Why would that be a step away from the kids?

What will make us mark out next?

That's quite a broad question that will have no right or wrong answers. I guess the first thing that really jumps to mind would have to be - Miz vs Bryan Danielson United States Championship match. Other than that, I really can't see anything that will truly have the world marking out, except for maybe the IWC and a Cena heel turn. But I'm not counting on the last one.

 

[Find'er Woo'er Ryder]

well i for one was compeletly shocked with bryan danielson joining team wwe. great move on wwe for hiring him again. and kane/undertaker thing was a gimme. i knew he was coming back and so did everyone else over the age of 12. and next for us is a great ppv known as night of champions. i think that a scheduled match will take place for the tag titles between the hart dynasty and nexus which is a good step for nexus

 

[Maikeru_1979]

I called Bryan Danielson returning last night at SummerSlam weeks ago when Cena announced who his 6 team members where. Yet I was wrong on who he would be replacing. I thought he would replace Bret not Khali.
1...no i think wwe has sucked over the last few weeks....and supercena winning the 7 on 7 was stupid
2....no this isn't a move away from the kids/pg rating.

3...a remarkable story(and the way the Nexus story as gone recently its not remarkable) line or Cena Heel turn is about it.


I've been having more fun watching TNA over the last few weeks then watching WWE.

Ok RobbyH259...please do me a favor....go talk to your mom and then sap her in the face. I mean she gave birth to a moron. How can you say Summerscam was awesome. Supercena ruined a good storyline. Also DID YOU NOT NOTICE THE COFFIN HAD A BLANKET UNDER IT...hmm maybe to hide Undertaker. Enjoy watching Raw tonight while your mommy feeds you glue. ******

Sorry, but being an ass qualifies you for being in a crib away from the big boys, dipshit. Bryan Danielson's return was why Cena stayed face, but the reason why there were talks of Cena turning Heel was BECAUSE WWE was being smart and concealing Danielson's return. As for the blanket, it wasn't obvious enough for the rest of us, so it worked in keeping Taker concealed.

 

[trashboy]

The Undertaker return was obvious.. when Kane fell against the ropes the last time, he reached over and closed the coffin.. right then i knew Undertaker would be there the next time it opened.. and i had a feeling Bryan Danielson was returning as the 7th member.. but with all the stupid rumors about Triple H or Cena turning heel.. i wasn't sure.. but there was no real mark out moment for me.. WWE has sucked for quite a long time, Nexus was the only good thing going and they ruined it by having Cena win the match.. Cena could have just beat them some time later down the road, and let Nexus have this one, making them look like a force to be reckoned with.. TNA has been blowing away WWE lately

 

[alistahr]

wow how could anyone enjoy this shit anymore?! seriously? taker in the coffin?? how many times has that been done? same old shit
There were no mark out moments, could have been a few though, such as danielson joining nexus and beating cena, i mean wtf was the point in giving him all the worked shoot promos if hes just gonna join the machine in the end?! seriously
awful awful ppv

Chill Out FozzyRocks, the kids only enjoyin the show. It was Bryan Danielson that ruined the storyline, cant believe he was the 'big reveal' after weeks of forum chat on what would happen. Huge letdown at the end,it became the Cena show again!Maybe the heel turn was scraped because he has a new purple T-Shirt come out?

 

[Dimice121976]

As bad as Summerslam was last night, I cant lie I did mark out when i saw the WWE.com article about Bryan returning about 10 minutes before the main event. Everyone who is upset about Cena not turning or HHH not returning and turning heel has to remeber that it appears this was put out there to keep Bryan's return quiet. And since we are talkin about "Mark Out" moments, I think Summerslam in all its awfullness last night has set us up for possibly 4 "Mark Out" moments in the next month possibly starting tonight.
IMO I think the potential 4 are:
1)Bryan vs Miz at NOC for the US Title. This feud which should go into full gear tonight, should be amazing based on the mic work and pure natural chemistry between these 2. Bryan winning the US belt at NOC will be a mark out moment for me at least.

2)Miz cashing in MITB. IMO I think once he drops the US belt to Bryan, its a shoe-in that he will cash in MITB and win the WWE Title. Again has potential to be huge mark out moment if you are a fan of the Miz.

3)Kane over Taker at NOC. Everyone will expect 'Taker as usual to destroy Kane and win the WHT. I for one think that Kane will somehow go over 'Taker at NOC and retain. I have been waiting 12 1/2 years for Kane to beat 'Taker in a big spot and I believe this will be the spot. The trade off being is that I think they will rematch on the Smackdown on SyFy Live premier which will end with Kane getting owned.

4)This one is just pure opinion on my part, but I think as early as tonight HHH will be revealed as the leader of Nexus and Stephanie as the Apple using GM. If anyone or both of these happen I will Mark Out big time!!!

Again this is just my speculation but I think they have at least a 40-60 chance of happening.

I am tired of the smarks trying to act like being PG is ruining WWE. I honestly don't think WWE has been this entertaining since 2002. I think WWE is really hot right now. Just because there is less adult content doesn't make it less entertaining. Granted, it's obvious that characters like John Cena are targeting kids, and that they might be more interesting if they were a little more edgy. But PG is not going anywhere, anytime soon. WWE was PG for a very long time. Several decades. Then the attitude era came, and it was TV-14 for more than a decade. So what makes you think WWE is just going to do a full 180 turn and go back to being TV-14? They're not! And if you can't accept that, please go watch TNA or something, so you can listen to Mr. Anderson say "asshole" all the time. Despite TNA being TV-14, I still think that WWE is producing a far superior product right now. Do I like everything about WWE? Hell no. I think Santino and everything he is involved with is completely unwatchable. But I love SES, Nexus, the Miz, Randy Orton, etc. All I'm saying is, it doesn't have to be adult oriented to be interesting. Honestly, I'm glad WWE has toned down now, because I have kids of my own and I'd like to expose them to wrestling like I was when I was a kid. And I'm sure many people who were fans during the attitude era are in a similar situation.

 

[LitasRevenge79]

I don't think the Taker being in the coffin was THAT much of a surprise to be quite honest. You could kinda tell from the way it was positioned, because he was either under the coffin, or under the ring and sliding under the coffin. But I did mark out a little bit with relief to see Taker because I was like "Finally!! Some hope is back to Friday nights!!" I was a bit confused when seeing him go to Rey, and had hope like ::Wow...maybe Rey could be changing, this would be SO cool to have an evil Rey:: But alas, it was just as cool to see Taker kick some ass, until he got his veggie ass kicked. But I'm just glad to have him back. I was still left guessing most of the night about the 7th person. I kept thinking VKM. I was hoping to see HHH interrupt the Orton-Sheamus match, but alas, no. My hopes were dashed. Then that left me hoping for him in the Nexus-WWE match. Then I was thinking "Yes...HHH or VKM." Then Miz gets his azz kicked to the curb, and then "Lo and behold...from the ashes...rises Daniel Bryan." Now..I never really was a big fan of his to begin with, but was quite surprised and pleased. It wasn't too bad. I think I was more entertained by the StarKo when I saw it. I think I was more excited to see Melina get the title off that Alicia Fox. But I don't think this last month was the MOST markouts...

OMG why do People that are TNA Fanboys have to comment its a WWE Section if u dont like it fck off to the TNA section and talk about how you love to feed off of Hulk Hogans Man Boobs

You mean a Raw Heavyweight title match which doesn't feature Orton/Sheamus/HHH/Edge/Jericho? Miz actually defending the US title and actually win the match. That Undertaker will return in a different way than a casket, that the WWE will never play another Matt Hardy (Danielson) and a PPV that has clean finishes throughout....
Yes anything can happen in the WWE, the thing is its all happened before!
The WWE has done nothing in terms of shocks, even the way they introduced Danielson back was bad on two levels. One being WWE.com ****ing up and the second was the lack of build up and Cena's terrible build up to it as well.
As much as TNA is deemed to be a bad way for its bad booking, what on earth is WWE? They are bad as one another. Where TNA tries everything, WWE tries very little.

Answer this though, what are The Nexus? It's really just a group of rookies wanting a job (which they have, and in Barrett case already had with a title shot too). They have no direction and no central purpose. Why is Team WWE just Raw? Why did Cole keep going on about his job and how it was at risk if Nexus win (like they were WCW!). In general the whole angle is terrible booking and you can sense they don't have an end outcome in mind.

WWE is in a bad shape, I don't know people can't see this and it has nothing to do with PG. The PG rating does not affect the wrestling, the storylines, the booking and so on. Just look at 1997 up until Austin wins the belt. That was PG WWF and look at what they created (DX, Austin, NoD etc)

Holy fucking shit, dude, get off my back for liking some of the show. Just because you hated it doesn't mean whoever enjoyed it has to visit a gas chamber. I never said Summerslam/Summerfest/Summerscam was awesome, I said it had its moments. I know Supercena ruined the storyline, I hate him as much as you apparently hate me. The blanket wasn't as obvious as you think. His return was obvious, but not the blanket. And I will enjoy watching Raw tonight, while I feed your mom MY glue. ******

Dude I totally agree. All these wrestlers and announcers keep talking about how Nexus is going to destroy WWE and they will lose their jobs and stuff. What are they talking about? I'm trying to suspend my disbelief, but that doesn't even make sense. Please explain to me "kayfabe" how Nexus beating people up could make Jerry Lawler and John Cena lose their jobs?

 

[thegame95]

ok first of all WWE saying cena was turning heel was all a bunch of bullshit,but it got alot of people to buy summerslam,hell i was on my tippy toes when they said the miz was to late,and shit bryan daniels went apeshit,he the future of wwe,but i see miz and bryan fueding,hhh returning and feuding with sheamus,cena some kinda shit with nexus,but tonights 21 man battle royal could change everything,wwe is actually starting to use there head agian,we the wwe universe should be the ones to blame,we look at spoilers and its our choice we just blame it on the wwe

 

[jsanders78]

WWE has actually shown effort, and for that I appreciate the hell out of it. They've seemed to catch on that the IWC knowing things before they happened was killing the product, and they've done a great job with smoke and mirrors to hide what really was going to happen. For instance:

1) How many times did we hear (and even have Bret go on radio and say) that the MNR in Canada would be his last on WWE television, only to have him wrestle for and WIN the U.S. title. EVERYONE expected that to be his "farewell". Add to that the GM position, followed by his "firing", followed by his sudden return on Raw - all instances that were kept quiet, and produced at least some what of a similar feeling to the attitude era.

2) The anonymous Raw GM - as annoying as Michael Cole is reading the damn things (at least pretend like you are reading an email - not a script) it's intriguing how they keep dropping hints to someone different each week. Add to that the fact that the GM appears to be neutral - and it makes it even more intriguing.

3) Daniel Bryan - while I was VERY disappointed that he was the big surprise, at least it was a freaking surprise. I felt this was the opportunity WWE needed to do something big, they at least surprised me which is more than what they've done in the last 8 years.

I almost feel like WWE has people on the web boards now, and when an idea or rumor catches on, these people report back to VKM, and he purposely goes a different route just to keep up guessing. It's brilliant IMO.

 

[thegame95]

i agree with jsanders78 people need to quit fucking crying about wwe not trying and fucking up,wwe i admit is doing an exellent job making the fans anxious and wen the wwe universe dosent get what they want they come on here and start fucking crying,like some dumbass waqs complaing that the casket was obvious that undertaker was returning,fuck how else r they gunna get him in there,hes not god,and for cena superman,that how wwe is making money,but think of the star we have now that the wwe can pay those stars because of cena selling merchandise,i only got 4 words for all u fucking bitches that keep crying,SHUT THE FUCK UP

 

[DX98folife]

err Back on topic;

I marked out pretty big last night over a few things that deserved marking.

1) Miz and his promo skills of course. Hes pure gold and keeps getting better.

2) The way the Undertakers return was handled. For a moment I thought Rey might ACTUALLY be the culprit or they are gonna turn Undertaker and Kane heel. Even when the predictable happened and Taker turned to Kane to reveal he did it, It was still a nice surprise that Undertaker didnt bury Kane right then and there and Kane actually got a leg up on his brother. Kane is looking like a strong WHC.

3) Bryan Danielson. Of course this was the money of the night; worth it to pay the 45$ I did(Ya I bought it; sue me). Add to the fact that they made him look really good allowing him to use his vast arsenal of techniques and score 2 eliminations only to be taken out by a cheap shot. Suddenly 0-9 on NxT will be long forgotten.

Of course the PPV had is bad spots.

-Supercena. Beaten to death but left me with a bitter taste through the night.

-Sheamus failing to defend his title cleanly AGAIN. He's now 1-5 in Title defenses all ending in either cheating to retain or losing cleanly.

-Where the hell was the Miz? Sheamus is half dead but standing after the match and The Miz after all his hype DIDNT come out?! WTF?

I'll mark out next maybe for Triple H returning or Bryan Danielson winning the US title.

you have nailed it on the head with that. i le that cena is some who i can have my nece and nephew look up to. i look up hogan and guess what that was pg. i odnt knwo what ever body big compaling about summer slam if cena woudl of turn all mark would of been it to priditible. i thoguth ti was great how micael cole was tottaly pulling the jerk face on bryan. Who know maybe bryan will challe mis for the bref case and win it. Maybe just maybe bryan will make miz lose his mib case who know let hope the write can get it wright

 

[DeadmanWalkinagain]

-Where the hell was the Miz? Sheamus is half dead but standing after the match and The Miz after all his hype DIDNT come out?! WTF?

The miz came out PRIOR to this match, stating I WILL JOIN TEAM WWE.
Nexus would have beat the awesome outta him, if he ran down there AFTER the bell ring, and thus, lose his briefcase is my assumption of this... think about it, they attacked KOFI and DOLPH. Smackdown guys! They don't really care what happens to raw as long as they arent involved, and the nexus attacked them to make sure they wont be the 7th member.

 

[tru_overdose]

as an anti-dumbass wrestling fan (a true rarity on this forum), i mark out every time i see a return (got 2 last night), a great build up to a great match, (got 1 last night), and most of all, i mark out for innovation and young stars being born (theres been tons of that lately).

it has been nice to see the Nexus invasion. its been for the most part, well put together. its been nice to see the 5 match series in TNA. hell, its nice to see established stars have good matches.

people definitely read too much into things anymore. its a big "shit-i-hate" fest instead of just enjoying things for what they are.

i think im going to start marking out for everything that people on this forum hate. LETS GO SUPERCENA!

 

[CyDeez]

I agree with the moments you listed as "mark out" moments. Taker being in the casket not so much because of the way it was dragging on I kept saying "Taker is in there"... Still a cool moment though.

The Miz had me going both times he attempted to cash in MITB.

I don't think it is a move away from the kids. Though I do think they eventually will move away from PG. I believe it is still quite a while away still.

I have no idea what the next "mark out" moment will be. I do think we are due for a few decently big moments. I don't think it will be Miz winning the title. Because for some reason I feel like they will have him fail.

Triple H won't cause me to mark out. I think The Revealing Of The GM is right around the corner. I agree with the CSR guys, it will probably happen by, or at the 900th episode. That could be a "mark out" moment, depending on who it is.

I also think a Nexus Leader will be revealed and that too could possibly be one of those moments!

WHOA! You have a niece and naphew? How old are you 9?I could hardly read this thing.Anyway Is there blood in this days pg era?NO. Was there back then during the hogan days? Yes not alot but there was some.But im not saying that there needs to be blood in every match but how bout some in some cage matches,Hell in a Cell,Elimination Chamber.Anyway Summerslam sucked.

 

[The Viper Orton]

1) Well, much more, I actually went crazy with Orton's RKO. But what Austin did during attitude eras can't be repeated. When Austin said he'll do something, then this night is at least 5 times more entertaining than Summerslam. Punching Mike Tyson, Throwing Triple H with his car, stepping on other people's cars etc.... This was only Stone Cold. When Jericho was ready to talk or cut a segment (even after attitude era), it would be just amazing. The Rock.. OMG.. The Rock, his segments, and especially for me his poems made me crack, I can listen to it for 3 times and still laugh the third time. SOwhat you saw simply is a small piece of what attitude era was weekly (not PPVs).

2) No it isnt even close to step away

3) I think well wait for a while before seeing something, and after NXT angle maybe for years
