re: During what era did you realize wrestling was fake?

One evening around 98-99 when stone cold Steve Austin was the main guy, my neighbor and his step son came over.

Thr guys step son had an intellectual disability and his step dad was pool any freon in one of our vehicles while drinking his daily six pack of beer and cigarettes,

Anywho the stepson mentions in and I emcourage him to keep talking because it's making him happy:

Then his dad says in his smoky mountain Tennessee accent tells him, it ain't real boy.

So they argued about this for over 20 minutes.

It always amuses me of the number of people that argue that it's not real. It's one thing to argue about the creative team, bookers l, etc but the main point of it being fake is stupid

When Skandar Akbar threw fire in Johnny Eagle's face.

They way you write, it seems like you have an intellectual disability.

Been watching since late 60's ..old school

Watching mid south around 10 and noticed all the guys would run back to the opponent after being thrown against the ropes. Also, that they always let the opponent put the move on them, like a figure 4. As if anyone wouldn't be scrambling away like crazy when you knew that was coming.
