Although this individual viciously attacked me in the private reputation section of this forum, I will have to admit that I agree with him here. A large part of being a seasoned wrestling fan, stems from knowing that you can be both a mark and a smark at the same time. If this individual was attacked for expressing his perceived "markdom," then I can certainly understand his need to defend himself. When a fan starts watching wrestling, he meets the prototypical definition of a mark. After a period of time, many marks that venture out onto internet wrestling social media, tend to get "swelled heads" and start to act as if they are above the marks. These types of people are easily identifiable. For example, most of these people wouldn't dare be caught admitting to liking Rock vs. Hogan at Wrestlemania 18. The last stage is the Seasoned Vet stage. This is the stage that I am currently at, and this is the stage that the aforementioned poster appears to be transitioning to. I wouldn't be surprised if this poster was being attacked by those posters still at 'Stage 2 - The Smark.' The point of my post is this: It's ok to admit that you enjoy watching matches that a regular level one 'Mark' likes. All of us are marks. Even a man of my stature and experience is a mark. Anyway, I hope this explanation finds you the reader well.
