Well, I usually say that every wrestling fan is a mark. But, as far this "smark" thing goes, that term is thrown around way too losely. Some people seem to think that just because they know all the latest backstage news, that makes them a "smark". But seriously, without the internet, 95% of so called smarks would be absolutely screwed, just because they don't know all about what is happening backstage. But IMO it's not all about backstage news, it's about understanding the wrestling industry completely. It has NOTHING to do with the internet. Meh, I had an entire thing in my head I was going to write about this, but I can't really think right now.

But as it is, I don't really believe in "marks" and "smarks" anyway. The way I see it is that if you're a wrestling fan, then you are exactly that, just a "fan".
