But those white rappers probably do not yell “POW” that often and I think we can all agree that this is a step in the right direction.
Maybe these days they can even afford shirts.

I want to be clear that I would say I support wrestling. It’s great fun. It’s nit the physicality that I don’t think is real, it was back in the 80s when guys in school really thought that the 280lb IRS guy was angry with a Shiek from Saudi Arabia and that they were agreeing to settle their unknown differences in a scheduled fight in a ring in Cleveland, and that they wouldn’t just punch and grapple like peole really do but jump off ropes onto each other.
I didn’t mean for that to sound so sarcastic…I just didn’t like the people that genuinely felt that all of that was 100% real.[/quote]
You need smarter friends.[/quote]
I mostly meant kids I went to elementary and junior high with.
I should add that this is the mid 80s I’m talking about. I think that the idea that the stories on wrestling are scripted came out so long ago some of the younger posters here may not understand how it was seen back then.
I mean we used to think spaceships and laser guns in movies were really fucking exciting too. They were still called “special” effects.
I’m not a wrestling fan. Never was. But I’m not dumping on someone for enjoying it.
Hell, I’m sure some of my friends and family think it’s weird that I’m all excited that the Mr Olympia is just around the corner. Talk about an activity that has nothing to do with real-world problems, let alone that it is indeed real, but not in the context of the non-fan’s life.
This may sound crazy, as I know it’s only a couple of weeks away, but I think I’m ready and have enough time to prepare for the Mr. Olympia.
I just need plane tickets to wherever it is and tickets for the show. Anywhere in the first 10 rows would be great.

You’re talking to a dude that does the shit.[/quote]
It’s not real, you’re not in the WWE dude[/quote]
You say that like I wont ever find spots with W W E
And
Like I don’t wrestle because I like it instead of only doing it hoping to get to W W E.
Anyway that promotion does sshows6 days a week. They seek Indy guys its not out of the question at all. for those shows. Guys from my school have been called up to do shows[/quote]
I’d go see your show, regardless of federation, if it were near me.
A friend of mine from years ago had the same dream that you did. He was massive and very athletic. To see him after a practice was unreal because he was beat up beyond belief whether or not is was rehearsed. Those guys take a beating and I have respect for what they do.
Just don’t ever paint eye balls on your eye lids like Jeff Hardy, puhlease!

That’s what rap was in the 90’s. If C&C Music Factory can sell records with a fake lead singer, then you know judging that era by today’s standards is bullshit.
Back when he came out, the music industry was still dealing in straight up fakes like Milli Vanilli who were all looks and no talent.
Marky Mark did a lot to make a way for the white rappers today.
His competition back then was Vanilla Ice.
We have two Marky Mark threads going…
What’s funny…is that he had to work HARD to get rid of that Marky Mark image…and now no one even knows about it.
LOL

good movie
“Fear” was a decent movie but “Boogie Nights” is what made me take him more seriously as an actor. BN probably did the most to shed his MM image.

Yeah I know, but there was way too much POW!!!
I like my POWss!!! in my Batman series and nowhere else.
Also, C&C Music Factory singer was fake?
WTF!?!
It’s sort of sad that songs like that Good Vibrations by Marky Mark is the kind of stuff that takes me back to when I was 18 or so.
I mean kids in the 60s had all that great stuff, and the 70s too. The stuff that reminds me of being 18 and hitting on women unsuccessfully is this and Right Said Fred and Real 2 Reel.

The lead singer was a black super model. The real person singing was a fat black woman who later got her own record deal but never took off. That was right around the time they exposed Milli Vanilli as fakes.

I used to belong to a Dojo that was directly below a night club. One friday night we had a grading and all through that misery I had to listen to dance music above my head. Anyway, at one point doing front kicks I started to sing quietly and to the beat, " I’m to sexy for my Gi, to sexy for my Gi now I say HIYEEEE". Couple people around me heard it and we all just about lost it. Sensei was giving us the stink big time lol.
Personally, I’m looking forward to offerings such as:
Marky Mark’s Funky Bunch of BCAA’s
The Big HIIT peri-workout carb powder
and
Dirk Diggler’s Terrific Tribulus
On a more serious note…Wahlberg is a pretty sharp businessman (or at least his business managers are top-notch). He’s managed his money well, and he’s producer or exec producer on something like a quarter of HBO’s recent original series’. As for the wisdom of this venture, I suppose it’s all in how it’s Marky marketed. Maybe this is a labor of love for him (he’s always been in to fitness – his home gym is impressive, to say the least). If this is marketed in a more ‘populist’ manner, it could bring a major return.
To use another example of how it could potentially play out, look at the example of 50 Cent. Guy was a successful rapper, but that only brings in so much…by pairing with the Glaceau company and their Vitamin Water products, he obtained enough shares to later move him onto the Forbes 500 list. So even lame supplements can be a worthwhile investment.
Every jug should yell “Say hello to your mother for me” whenever opened. It’d be the annoying Hallmark card of whey protein. Or Wahlmark card.
