I was just watching the WSX DVD set and one their extras is a SUPER weird promo given by Fabian the ring announcer. In it he actually mentioned smarks and it got me thinking about how even in hardcore indie promotions that word tends to almost never pop up. So I was wondering has it ever been said on WWE programming in any capacity?

Probably not or, if it happened, it was never shown again, since, even on WWE.com, they went to the trouble of editing a Kevin Nash interview to change Smarks to [Know it alls].

It was coyly said on Are You Serious, they had a puppet named Mark who was smart

Yeah it would be kind of ridiculous to acknowledge that since it would basically be acknowledging "those who understand that this is fake". On the other hand a sick, perverse side of me loves that WCW went as far as they did with their breaking kayfabe stuff with Hogan, Russo, Goldberg, etc, its just so ridiculous. I think I actually remember Nash talking about how they wanted the fan to genuinley hate what they were doing with the product, an interesting kind of heat!

Didn't PONK yell "SIT DOWN, SMARKS" in his match against Jericho?

Closest was Pillman calling the ECW fans "Smart-Marks" during his infamous promo. It was actually that promo that ended up partially coining the phrase for which RSPW people then adopted it as their own.

JBL said something similar on this year's Post-WM Raw. When they were chanting his name, he smiles and says "Smart fans!"

Closest I remember is Cole saying "Internet Nerds" when trashing Kaval.

I've never heard it on WWE programming, but they said "smart mark" on WCW in 1999-2000.
During Vince Russo's reign of terror in WCW, I remember the announcers on Nitro and Thunder saying stuff like "I bet none of you internet smart marks saw that coming".
I think it was Mark Madden mostly, but I'm pretty sure Tony Schiavone said it once or twice as well.

I'm surprised that Matt Striker didn't manage to throw it out there indiscriminately while "marking out" bro.

When Edge and Christian's tag team gimmick was briefly "The Insiders" in early 2000, didn't they use it once on commentary with JR?
