My handful of followers and I had some fun on the old Twittah masheen last night, after I connected the dots on the legacy that the Payback fallout show has quietly been building over the last few years...
I think we need a new name for the Payback fallout show...smarks have turned into marks on that Monday night two years running

I was reminded by a couple of folks that it's actually been three years running, too. Way back in 2013, John Cena had just won a Three Stages of Hell match to blow-off his feud with Ryback and was in need of a new dance partner. Former World Heavyweight champ Mark Henry had been out since Extreme Rules with his second injury of the year, and had been teasing a major announcement via social media. On Monday, June 17th, he donned his finest salmon-colored blazer and played us like a bunch of puppets...
Then last year, one night after The Shield dismantled Evolution, you'd think Dave Bautista's pageant wave to WWE on his way to Marvel Cinematic Universe millions would have been enough. But Triple H wasn't done with us...
And I don't think anyone needs a reminder about this past Monday...
What do you think, Cagesiders? Is there a pattern here or just a grand coincidence?
And is it worthy of its own nickname? The Raw after WrestleMania has been called SmarkaMania by many...what should we call the night after a B pay-per-view (PPV) that has included some of the most "mark out" worthy moments in years?
Two good suggestions came from our own GrecoRomanGuy...
@s1rude "Gotchamania?" You think you're gonna smark all over our show? GOTCHA!!!
