The move that makes you a "crazy mark"

Tyler Durden · 10-31-2005, 06:58 AM

So what it is it then?

The move that a wrestler does that you always mark out for on a PPV or TV show. The move that marks you behave like a little girl waiting for your birthday party to start (too far?)

For me there are a couple and the reason I choose these are because you hardly ever see them much anymore so when they happen I love seeing 'em.

(you must also excuse me for the fact that I have never swotted up on wrestling moves so have no idea what these moves are called in some cases)

First up is the move The Undertaker does (used to do) when he comes off the ropes runs across the ring and flies over the top rope at his opponent. He used to do this quite often and I assumed he'd stop doing it due to the injuries he's had, but on a PPV a few years back he flew over the ropes at Test. Frikkin fantastic stuff. Sure other guys do this, but to see a guy of 'Takers size do it is excellent.

Second up is the Kurt Angle moonsault from the top rope. He doesn't do this move as often as he used to do but it is just a thing of beauty when he does it. Other's do it quicker, but Angles arc is so graceful it's a much better one to watch and when he does it, it means something because he doesn't do this much anymore (e.g when he went for it at Mania against HBK). Best one he ever went for, my ultimate mark out, way ahead of Foley off the cage, was when he did it off the top of the steel cage in a "free TV" match (unbelievable I know....wonder how he ended up so banged up!) on Smackdown against Chris Benoit when Austin was at Ringside (it's on the Greatest Steel Cage Matches DVD). A match which also featured Benoit's flying headbutt off the top of the cage. The height Angle got moonsaulting off the cage was incredible, the guy bounced a good foot off the canvas when he landed!!

Being the big Foley mark that i am. I mark big for Mr.Socko. That sweatsock kept me engrossed in wrestling when i first started to watch so i love it everytime he comes out.

Also, i love the Kurt Angle move where his opponent is on the turnbuckle and he springs up and gets them off the corner with an arm drag/belly to belly. I love the hell out of that move.

Petey Williams and the Canadian Destroyer - awesome move. I mark out every time I see that.

Now WWE I guess it would be the Cross Face and the Ankle Lock... especially if it's a big PPV match i'll stand infront of the TV shouting Tap! Tap! Tap!

True i was going to put that down as well. The last two Mania's i have been standing yelling at Triple H and Shawn Michaels (respectively) to tap

I was always a fan of the Shooting Star Press. It's best when Brock Lesnar tries it and lands on his head.

I'll go with the crossface, especially when its a reversal into a crossface, looks great.

The SAT's Spanish Fly always makes me pop, but it's very rare I actually get to see it, unless I watch Classic TNA on TWC.

In WWE, I always pop more for the little things, like when Wrestlers emulate older wrestling moves. That always makes me smile.

Canadian Destroyer for sure, when I see the set up for one I start tensing up and become glued to the tv.
and of course, just about anything Angle does makes me feel all gooey. Angle's movement is a thing of beauty.
another move I love is the bronco buster, hahahahahahah, ok, I'm just joking on that piece of crap.
My dad always used to mark out when guys got spraypainted. so as you can imagine the 90's were an annoying time for me.
I used to love the stunner and even just Austin's music made me kindof feel a bit jumpy, but lately it's just not the same. I want to see him wrestle (and not w/ Coach), not just stun the asshea... I mean McMahons.

I always loved The Piledriver. That move is just brutal. So, obviously I love the Canadian Destroyer. But, I loved when Mick Foley, Jerry Lawler, and HBK used to use the Piledriver. (Especially, when HBK did it on the ringsteps... ouch)

Also, the perfect DDT is a thing a beauty. When you have someone good at giving it and someone who is good at taking it. So, it looks like they bounce off the top of their head. That is great.

When I was younger, I used to mark out big for the Diamondcutter, just because DDP would use it out of the blue, in all kinds of setups and stituations.

Just about anything Angle does, especially when he runs up and suplexes an opponent off the rope and his moonsault. The Canadian Destroyer is one of the most unique finishers I have seen, so I mark out to that.
