Oh wait, this isn't casual.

A smark is a wrestling fan who is in the know about pretty much all aspects of the business (or at least thinks he is). He generally follows all the going's ons via the dirtsheets internet. He may go so far as to rate matches himself. He has his origins in tape trading.

It is not required that a smark watch one particular style or another. Some smarks watch only WWE, some hate WWE (or at least complain about it weekly and then tune in the next week to complain about it some more) and love ROH, somehow there are CZW smarks. It seems like the smaller the promotion, the greater number of smarks in the crowd.

I think you just gave a synopsis of Derek Sabato's entire life.

I woudl agree with this.

And the reason Smarks are more prevelant or hardcore in smaller feds is they feel they are an integral part of it I think. They realise there 5 bucks plus 10 for a DVD each month may actualy be the $15 that keeps that fed in the black.

Unlike WWE where the millions they turn over monthly mean you cant really feel that way.
