Or they're an idiot...on some level.

I consider myself a smark, in the sense that I'm a mark "in the know".

I think the definition of "mark" is equivalent to the debate on "n00b" vs. "newbie". To most, a "n00b" is a person that acts like a moron and doesn't know shit about shit, while a "newbie" is simply somebody who is new to a forum but still acts like a normal human being.

In some regards, there are two definitions of "mark". The one that most smarks hold to is that a mark is a person who can't distinguish reality from storyline and who thinks that the wrestlers really are who their characters are, even in real life. But to me and you and other intelligent people a mark is simply someone who likes to watch wrestling and can suspend disbelief while watching it, much like people can be submersed into a really good movie and whatnot.

(Much better than my "stupid moms and garbage wrestling" argument, no? )

Much improved. You get a cookie.

OF DEATH!

Okay, I didn't really mean that. I'm all out of poison cookies.

He makes it to TV over here, It's nothing big.

Striker: WOOOOOOOO I'm on TV!

WWE: In the U.K.

Striker: Yay.

I've read this in a few diff places, I think it's legit.

That'll be because that's how the net works - the Observer Newsletter, PWInsider, or, on rare occasion, the Torch reports something, and then all the little pissant sites (which is basically every other website you can think of on the internet not called Wrestling Observer or PWInsider) take it and slap it up, with no checking into it's legitimacy. Not to say the story isn't true, but let's keep perspective here.

WWE: We've got good news and bad news. The good news is, you're gonna be on TV!

Striker: What's the bad news?

WWE: You're only on TV at all because of our obligations overseas.

And here's an update.

NoDQ.com > News > More Details On Huge SD! Locker Room Incident

-- To follow up on the story about the major heat on Matt Striker, who was brought over for a dark match on SmackDown, he allegedly made comments backstage about the RAW vs. SmackDown situation.

He claimed that RAW was the more professional of the two amongst other things, to members of an already-upset SmackDown roster with how the RAW/Smackdown angles have gone. Needless to say, in a locker room with guys like Bob Holly and JBL, that probably wasn’t a good idea.

He was physically thrown out of the locker room after getting heated words from Chris Benoit, JBL, Eddie Guerrero, and almost being beaten up by Hardcore Holly.

I love that last sentence. It's like you could add it onto any Smackdown backstage news that gets printed.

Like:

"Eddie Guerrero and JBL hve had backstage problems recently due to a clash in religion. They settled their differences over a a cup of hot chocolate and almost being beaten up by Hardcore Holly."

"Vince McMahon will be on Smackdown to speak about his family, his company, his balls and almost being beaten up by Hardcore Holly."

"Chris Benoit will be out of action for 4 months due to a recurrence of his neck injury and almost being beaten up by Hardcore Holly."
