10 Signs You're A Pro Wrestling Mark

2. Using Wrestling Catchphrases

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTT5Af_hx6I There have countless classic catchphrases over the years, from "Oh Yeah!" to "Can You Smell What The Rock is Cooking?" to "And that's the bottom line..." Some are so awesome that you can't help but try them out yourself. If you were to say "Oh Hell Yeah!" at school during The Attitude Era and claimed it as your own, you'd be called out immediately. However, if you try to make "Follow the Buzzards" a trend nowadays, you might just get away with it since it's not well known by non-wrestling wrestling fans. Maybe not that exact catchphrase, but you get my point. You may not be John Cena's biggest fan, but you can't tell me you haven't done the vintage "You Can't See Me!" taunt to your friends or family before, regardless of whether they're wrestling fans. The same can be said for D-Generation X's "Suck It!" taunt. Whether they were the ones who made that popular is debatable, but they certainly revoltunized during the late '90s and now it's universal. This can also be applied to mocking wrestlers' mannerisms such as drinking beer like Steve Austin, raising your eyebrow like Rock or strutting like Vince McMahon.
