Independent star Cody has clarified the term mark, after a fan used it as an insult. 

When a fan referred to "loser marks" in a tweet, the former Intercontinental Champion said he would always side with marks. 

"Mark" means fan or customer. So yea, that'll be the side I take. Always.

Wrestling is doing pretty wonderful these days. Onwards and upwards with every show.

Brian 'Blue Meanie' Heffron also commented, saying that he cannot see why 'mark' should be used as an insult. 

I never have and never will understand why someone takes the word "mark" as an insult. Or when a mark calls another mark a mark to cut them down. I mean I "get why" but it still makes no sense in this day and age. Mark is not a dirty word.
