Wrestling terminology.
Coined by the late
Brian Pillman, describing the
dirtsheet writers and the
Internet 'insider'
websites, a 'smark' is a
wrestling fan who thinks he's on the inside, who thinks he knows all the secrets of the industry, and who thinks he is different to the 80% of grap fans who still believe that
Triple H and
Stephanie McMahon's association ended with Wrestlemania X8.
Smarks are an
arrogant, frustrated lot. Not happy in their ignorance, nor embraced by the business they love. Only one recommendation for therapy: go and read MORE dirtsheets, surf MORE website rumour pages and watch MORE pirate
Japanese death match videos.
Perhaps one day,
Vince McMahon will knock at your door.
