Put it this way: DiBiase >> Rhodes.

He's good but nowhere near Cena good, as for the bolded part I couldn't agree more.

Are you honestly saying that Cena has better in-ring ability than DiBiase?

If so...

Maybe I misunderstood?

Comparing Cena to DiBiase from a pure entertainment standpoint is like comparing Jerry Seinfeld to Charley Murphy.

Really? He sells merch, he has his five moves he'll do in the ring, his stupid "you can't see me" gesture and he'll stick up his pinkies in the air.

Cena fans...

Man, I remember when I was REAL in to wrestling. It was crazy. I always enjoyed ordering WrestleMania and watching it. A lot of great matches happen there, and it seems another one is about to happen with Undertaker/Shawn Michaels. I just can't see Undertaker ever having his streak snapped to be honest, so I think with the stipulation that goes along with the match, this will be Shawn Michaels' final match (unless they swerve and have another storyline that'll have him wrestle again). Looks like a good show.

I'd call you a mark, more then I would call you a fan.

Private Encounter · 03-28-2010, 05:27 PM

I'm guessing R.Truth/John Morrison -vs- The Miz/Big Show will be up first and HBK/Taker will go last. Just a hunch.

What does a mark mean?

I'm a fan of Wrestling, even if it's scripted, does that make me a bad person?

Does no one remember John Cena deadlifting The Big Show and someone else? That's like 500lbs on his back

Mark
-A fan who believes that the characters and events of some or all of professional wrestling are real.
-The term can also be applied to a fan who idolizes a particular wrestler, promotion, or style of wrestling to a point some might consider excessive.
-"Marking out" is the act of reacting to an event in wresting as if it was legit even though the person reacting to it knows it to be staged.

It's not an insult though.

I once watched wrestling while being high. It was the very first time I paid attention to the refs instead of the wrestlers, it blew me away.

5 e-bucks on the MITB match going first and Cena/Batista going last.

Glad to be a Mark then

thanks for enlightening me.

Imo WWE is all about your favourite Wrestler and his storyline.

You seem to be more hardcore than me though and so does Nate but please, let the casual fans dream

Just for mentioning Daniel Bryan in this thread...

Of course I know Danielson, I prefer Nigel though. And I used to have a massive man crush for Jimmy Rave in the Embassy. That gimmick was one of the best.

I actually just showed my Wrestlemania party a 4-corner survival between Ebetaroh, Delirious, Joe, and Jack Evans. So epic.

LOL Well for someone that isn't involved and all, it's alright. But for some in the business, they actually laugh at people like you (not me though).

Hey, dreaming is fine. I did that too once upon a time, then turned that into training class and getting involved.

Enjoy the show though.

It's become rare now.

Evan Bourne does occasional jobbing, so dos Santino and Carlito, but that's about it.

macavoy · 03-28-2010, 05:49 PM

What is a jobber in wrestling?

A wrestler who's job is to get pummeled in the ring and lose to usually a much bigger opponent.

Evan Bourne is awesome.

Alright guys, I'm logging off for tonight to enjoy the event with my wife and kids. Enjoy the show everyone, and hope for those who are ordering that they get their money's worth.
