10 Signs You're A Pro Wrestling Mark

8. Wrestling With Friends

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YoAMUubTd20 Let's be honest here: How many of us actually abide by the rules and don't try what the wrestlers do at home? Answer: No one. You might have been one of those kids who would say, "Yeah, but what about at school? There's a loophole!" Either way, consider yourself inhumane if you've never once wrestled with your friends and/or siblings on a trampoline, mattress or pool. You can't say you weren't tempted to try out an RKO the first time you saw Randy Orton do it, or put your little brother through a table when The Dudley Boyz made it the cool thing to do. Some fans have gone so far as to create their own e-fed, or fantasy wrestling organization. I know I certainly did. With the technology we have nowadays, it's pretty simple to film yourself wrestling your best friend Mark (see what I did there?) and put it up on YouTube. Years ago, fans didn't have that, so they just had the honor of knowing they "ran" their own wrestling company the way it they wanted it run. It was the one thing wrestling-related they had complete control over since they didn't have the luxury of complaining online years back as we do now. All is well and good until someone inevitably gets hurts and then you realize why WWE advising kids don't try the moves out at home in the first place. Before that happens, though, be sure to capture a video of yourself wrestling your friend or sibling. You could be the next viral Internet sensation.
