Mark
a fan who believes that the characters and events of some or all of professional wrestling are real. The term can also be applied to a fan who idolizes a particular wrestler, promotion, or style of wrestling to a point some might consider excessive. (Compare "
smark")
i.e. The worst person to sit next to at a show if they're over the age of 12. I been to two shows recently (WWE Live house show about a month or so ago) and ROH for Kevin Steen's last match two weekends ago. Both times, there was ONE guy (not the same guy) going nuts and being SUPER vocal.
First guy was TRIPPING over a Big E and Wade Barrett match. Doing the absolute MOST because Big E wasn't trying hard enough to get the IC title back. Constantly telling him to pull his straps down. It was kind of uncomfortable. Even little kids were like...
At the ROH event, there was a kid...he was probably about 16 or so, but he was SUPER into it (which is usually cool with me). I love when kids dig wrestling. There was a really small kid behind explaining it to his dad, so I made sure he could see when everyone stood up. I'm down with that...but this 16 year old was trying to chant EVERY thought he had. It'd be quiet during a good match and he'd go, "Can you HURRY UP and get the ACH/TD match already?!"
Just lack of awareness of the business end and not knowing when to suspend your belief and when to play into kayfabe. All bad.
