Smark

The internet slang term “Smark” refers to someone who is both a fan and a critic of professional wrestling. A Smark is knowledgeable about the inner workings of the industry and often possesses a more analytical approach towards wrestling, understanding the behind-the-scenes aspects such as storylines, booking decisions, and in-ring performance.

Examples:

A smark might comment on a wrestling match by saying, “The storytelling in this match was phenomenal, but the ending was predictable. It lacked creativity.”

During a wrestling event, a Smark might engage in a conversation with fellow fans, saying, “I really appreciate how these wrestlers are incorporating technical moves into their matches, showcasing their skills. However, I wish the company would give some underrated talents more opportunities.”
