A mark is a person who:
- Does not know that Wrestling is scripted
- Enjoys professional wrestling the way it is
- Believes storylines and never has second thoughts about things that occur
- Gets emotionally managed by what the wrestling promotion does, for example if a wrestler is a fan favorite, he is the favorite of the "mark" as well, if another wrestler is a heel, he is hated by the mark too.
People do not know when they are a mark because a mark is not aware that Wrestling is scripted, they only know that they "were" a mark when they get to know of the reality.
Summing it up, a Mark is basically a devout Wrestling Fan who just loves wrestling and wrestlers and doesn't know that Wrestling is scripted.

a mark is someone who enjoys wrestling for the entertainment it is. Not some know it all who reads crap on the Internet and thinks they are better than others just because they think they have "insider" information

A mark is someone who believes wrestling is real. They cheer for certain people, moves, hence the term Marking out.

people who think wrestling is real (or have little knowlege of what is wrestling) , defend his or her favorite no matter what. Typical sterotyping of Cena fans.
