I myself don't consider myself a smark, mark, or a smart. I don't go by those cute wrestling terms on the internet. I consider myself an actual fan since I enjoy everything in WWE, just like the fans enjoy everything they see at live shows. Live shows is so much fun. It may not be as fun to watch on TV, but once you actually go to see it live in person, you would actually enjoy it.

I've been to a ton of events.
4 Raws, 4 Smackdowns, SummerSlam 95, King of the Ring 98, and Unforgiven of 2001... and probably near 15 - 20 house shows. I definately agree with you that the WWE is awesome live. Live shows usually have me pumped up for weeks after I went.
One thing I have noticed with myself lately is I actually flip to see what's on MTV and a few other stations sometimes DURING the program. I keep it on if I see Kane, Jericho, Christian, most of the Diva's, etc...
Really this thread is me pondering that question in my head when it comes to myself. Am I really a WWE fan? Or am I a RVD, Y2J, Rock, Stone Cold, Kane, etc.. fan?
And I think back when Austin was getting really popular the show was all about DX, Stone Cold, The Rock, the Hardcore era, and whatever happened in between was just passing time in the minds of a lot of fans.
