It would be nice to get some actual wrasslers opinions on this...

Any ideas,Mark P? . I'd like to hear some C4 wrestlers' point of view too.

I'd like to see this happen, but I doubt it will. Wrasslers tend to not comment on stuff like this. Kayfabe I guess.

Listen to the Episode of Apex with Mark P and Twiggy. They do comment on this very thing on  the air.

I think "internet marks", "marks", "smarks", or whatever else you want to call them are a great thing.  Whether you're just so fanatical that you love everything about the business, or you sit in front of the computer at home and bitch about the most recent wrestling show you saw, I think both are welcome and important parts of the wrestling landscape.

Let's say I purchase a ticket for the upcoming Alice in Chains concert (and, for those of you who are unaware, I'm a huge Alice in Chains fan). I go to the concert and have a terrible time. Shitty food, poor quality opener, hotter than hell in the venue, etc. So, I post a review of my experience online, saying I had a shitty time and I'm really disappointed. I don't see that as a bad thing either.

The people who bitch about internet marks are usually the ones who are getting torn up by them. I know I have my fair share of critics (as I should), however I fully welcome their criticisms and remarks, because without them, I can't reasonably expect to make myself any better than I already am.

Do some fans take it too far? Sure! But its that way in any venue, professional wrestling or not.

So, in my opinion, being a mark is a good thing!

You, CJ Felony, have a good attitude. I don't expect all wrestlers to have the same point of view though. Thanks. That actually gave me a little more faith in wrestling.

Thx for jumping in CJ. Nice to see the opinions from the other side of the curtain.

From what I see, most wrestlers refer to us as "the fans", and most agree that without the fans, there wouldn't be any wrestling.

Usually, when wrestlers speak about marks, they are usually refering to inside marks or smart marks, or smarks.

Wrestlers don't post on forums.  Nor should they.
