Welcome to my inaugral post in my blog dedicated to the greatest spectacle known to man- professional wrestling. I know what you may be saying- isn't that stuff fake? Well, aren't all your favorite TV shows and movies 'fake'? Even 'reality' shows are full of it. So what is with all the negativity?
Professional wrestling (which shall henceforth be referred to as 'the biz') receives a lot of bad press, some of it deserved, some not. This blog will serve in that role to define what is true and false about wrestling and how to understand it from the point of view of a mark- aka a wrestling fan.
Now I will make no claims that I truly understand the biz, though I listen very hard to people who do. i am simply a mark, and a smart one at that. This is known as a Smark. As a smark, I can only truly speculate what is Kayfabe (biz speech for 'fake') and what is shoot (real). This speculation is a reward in itself, especially when your random guess makes you look like a prophet come again.
So what really entails being a Smark? This Blog will be a journey through Smarkhood through the eyes of yours truly, Cass aka Casshole.
