Smart Mark Video (SMV) is an American video production and distribution house. It was founded in 1998 by Mike Burns and a group of friends involved in the operation of the now defunct Future Wrestling Alliance independent professional wrestling promotion. VHS releases of FWA events, as well as events for other local promotions like IPW and EWF, were among SMV's initial forays into video distribution. After the folding of the FWA in November, 2000, Burns and company concentrated on acquiring more clients as well as consumers for its video-related services. In 2012, SMV started airing live internet pay-per-view's (iPPV) on its website, starting with Chikara's Under the Hood on December 2. SMV tested the new format with two "free-per-views" held by Chikara's sister promotion Wrestling is Fun! (WiF!).
