Smark
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
While a person who is in the know about the wrestling industry is referred to as a "smart" fan versus a "mark" (who at worst believes that everything in professional wrestling is real), a "smark" is a combination of the two: someone who follows trends and "behind-the-scenes" developments in the professional wrestling industry but can still "mark out" at the scripted entertainment. Many online wrestling commentators -- so-called members of the Internet Wrestling Community (IWC) -- are considered smarks.
