Indians and very young children
Contrarians that dislike whatever smarks like for the sake of it

mark: casuals, average fan who doesn't doesn't know too much about the business, kids, Indians etc
they don't really exist anymore in america

smark: "smart mark", fans who know more about the business, interested in backstage stuff, follow independent wrestling, etc

anti-smark: smark subgroup that dislikes smarks and consciously align their tastes to the mainstream, like poptimists but for wrestling

Nothing you need to concern yourself with. These words used to mean something but now are just stupid insults. As you'll form your own opinions on what you enjoy and what you don't in wrestling you'll be called one of those words by people that will look down on your shit taste. It's unavoidable you'll piss off some group or another with your likes and dislikes.

>smark
ppl who watched WWE,LOLTNA,NJPW,PWG,CHIKARA,ROH etc. usually boo wrestler they supposed to cheer.

>mark
Pajeets, soccer moms, little jimmies, tumblers, annoying shits

>Anti-Smark

ppl who thought its cool pretending to be mark working smarks, also known as autism carriers

>>1534039
A mark is someone who believes in things and therefore could never be friends with a smark, who hates believing in anything. They are stupid and need to be slapped.

A smark is someone who knows everything about wrestling there ever was, and could book a show in their sleep better than anything the stupid faggot Mcmahons have ever done. They hate being happy and are convinced that wrestling will never be good again until everyone is as miserable and cancerous as they are.

Anti-Smarks know as much as smarks do, but choose to suspend their disbelief and be fans of entertainment, which of course enrages smarks beyond sensibility. They are foolish children and manchildren who have not yet developed into the pissy cynics they will someday become, or else they're just normal people who enjoy having fun.

>Do you know wrestling is real but still watch it anyway?
If yes, you're a smark

>Do you live in India and/or are you too stupid to realize that wrestling is fake?
Mark

>Do you shitpost on /asp/ and misuse the words smark and mark? Do you purposely go against what people here like, and root for anyone that they dislike for the sake of feeling unique?
Congrats you're an /asp/ poster

This is the best answer and probably the closest to a real answer.

Mark: an old carnie term. Someone who can be conned. Someone who sees wrestling as real. Like street-shitting Indians.

Smark: someone who knows it's scripted and is aware of things like booking, ring psychology, etc.

Anti smark: someone who is a smark but doesn't care and tries to enjoy the product. This is usually done through and for nostalgia.

>>1534069
>do you know wrestling is real?
Goddammit, I meant to say isn't real

Smarks are epic contrarians that hate whatever the general public likes and vice versa. They also love indieshit and fucking vanilla midgets and anything that exposes the business. They hate everything that is popular. These are the people that chanted Daniel Bryan and cm punk during Batista's epic promos and segments during his return. They're also SJW fags that love ''''''women's wrestling''''''

Marks are people who enjoy the product.

Anti smarks isn't even a thing. But it looks like a term used by smarks for original smarks from before the 2000s and educated people who truly know and understand the business. Guys like Ric Flair and Chris Jericho.

A FUCKING FRUIT BASKET

>Anti-smark
/asp/ posters who hate anyone from the indies and eat up all of the garbage Vince McMahon feeds them. Think NJPW is an indy fed because it trades talent with ROH but don't realize that WWF did an angle with ECW in the attitude era and that ECW is the original outlaw promotion

what specifically makes indian people marks?

and what indians are we talking about? like cowboys and indians or sand niggers

>>1534109
This guy doesnt have a clue what he is going on about, dont listen to a word he says

>>1534138
Are you that fucking stupid that you equate Hindu Indians from the Asian sub continent with sand-niggers??

Smarks like to subvert the shows and have incredibly fake shit like teenage girls wrestling and vanilla midgets getting world titles. They rub it in everyone's face how fake it is.

Anti-smarks like things that make some fucking sense.

>usually boo wrestler they supposed to cheer.
that's fine
shows bad talent or creative work
it's cheering a heel that is the problem (see: full sail crowds, KO insulting crowds just to get the morons to shut the fuck up and stop cheering, and Seth Rollins come back from injury booked as heel for no fucking reason)

thanks for a good answers :)

"Wow Cena is so good I hope he wins and gets to keep title forever."

>Smark (edgy teenagers / fat, obese, angry neckbeards between the ages of 18-35, they probably also never had sex.)

"OMG I fucking hate John Cena, CENAWINSLOL rite guys XD, You can't wrestle XD. DEA hope cena gets cancer and dies XD? JOHN CENA SUUUUUUUUUCKS!"

>Anti-Smark (Open-minded Wrestling Fans that probably watched wrestling when they were younger and they don't share the same unbiased circlejerking opinions with IWC smarks)

"You know what, Cena isn't actually a bad guy. I mean it isn't like he choosed to be put in his position. He got over with the fans back in the day with his rapper gimmick and has been carrying the entire WWE on his back for the past 15 years now ever since Rock and Austin left the cold turkey. He just got favored by his bosses and he is just doing his job and doing what he is told. Good for him, he seems like a nice guy, he looks like he really loves WWE and he puts smiles on millions of kids faces by doing all of those Make-a-wish events for no publicity and he is nice Role Model children who watch wrestling telling them to Never Give Up, and to always show Loyalty and Respect."

>LOLTNA
How can you even hold your head up with a giant fedora like that?

Marks
People who are children, Indian, or suspend their disbelief

Smarks
People who think they know the business and then break kayfabe cheering heels and spreading shit accross the internet

Anti-Smarks
Even worse than smarks. For their opinions only based on smarks to be opposite because it is impossible for them to form opinions on their own. Whenever smarks are happy they become fucking pissed and ruin image boards in their spare time.

>>1534039
>Smark
A 'Smart mark' - someone who understands the industry, but remains a fan nonetheless. To a 'smark', the event is about how good the performance is. It's less about high spots and more about ring psychology and telling a coherent story. Jim Cornette is the epitome of a smark in the original sense, though he would hate that label.

>Mark
Someone who believes - or treats - the in-ring action as being 'real'.

A popular misconception is that a mark is someone who is not aware that the matches are choreographed. But this is wrong. A mark is anyone who sees the wrestlers as competitors. So anybody who says "XXX didn't deserve that win"; "this guy is better than that guy", is being a mark. 99% of posts on all wrestle boards show markish tendencies.

>AntiSmark
These don't exist, as all eventualities are covered by the previous two incredibly broad categories. Someone who is an 'antismark' is really just an internet shitposter who has chosen wrasslin' as their vehicle for posting ebin baits.

>Mark
Someone who enjoys wrestling without delving into industry-side knowledge. If they don't exclusively watch WWE, they only watch the biggest regional promotions. Unable to subject matches and performances to critical analysis. Prefer the spectacle of wrestlers who "win" and put on entertaining promos than those who perform well in the ring. Young children are almost exclusively these.

>Smark
Someone who enjoys wrestling and also enjoys critical analysis of wrestling. Accesses industry-side knowledge to gain a greater understanding of wrestling. Prefers wrestlers who they believe are superior performers based on that knowledge, and who "deserve" their in-ring accolades.

>Antismark
Someone who enjoys wrestling and, while they are privy to insider knowledge, prefers a lesser degree of critical analysis of wrestling matches and performers, if any at all. Equally entertained by the pageantry of wrestling as they are by splendid in-ring performances, and rejects the notion of wrestlers deserving or not deserving to be put over.

>>1534486
Marks have been booing faces and cheering heels long before smarks existed. People like who they like and sometimes the booking doesn't work the way it was intended.

It's weird how I watched as both a mark and a smark as a kid. I knew wrestling was fake and was interested in a fair deal of the backstage stuff, but I still watched it as if it were real, feeling legit compassion for the faces. I wish I could get that same feeling back.
