Were you a "smark" before you logged on?

**Snowden** · 03-16-2011, 12:40 AM

Before you started surfing the internet for wrestling information, did you watch wrestling through the eyes of a casual mark, or did you watch for "workrate," cheer the heels, and pine for the guy in the lower midcard to be pushed to the moon?

I know for me, I was a complete mark for the most part before getting indoctrinated into net wrestling culture. In some ways, I kind of miss those days. Watching wrestling with a critical eye is nice, but sometimes the blissful ignorance would be great.

I'd be shocked if many people were any different, unless you actually were *in* the business.
