What is a Mark

**KayfabeMan** · 12-26-2003, 04:25 PM

Anyone who is set up for a prank or gag; or someone who is going
to be swindled by someone else (ie. someone on Candid Camera or
Punk'd or Scare Tactics; a wrestling fan,etc...) is a mark.

It used to be that if you thought it was real that that qualified as
being a mark; but since 99.9% of people now know otherwise (that
it is fake) whether or not you believe it's real doesn't really effect
you being a mark.....although the ones who believe it's real are the
mega-marks.

EVERYONE who watches wrestling regularly and/or has favorites
or people they enjoy are marks; wrestlers themselves often are
marks for other workers.
