If it was just the wrestling it would be cool. It's all the fake drama bs that sucks

When you finally realized it, did it feel like the time when someone told you Santa Clause wasn't real?


When did you find out Television was fake? Were you upset that Bayside wasn't a real school and you could never wrestle against AC Slader or go to the Attic with Zach Morris?

a few relatives and I were heading south from Ellik to BR on Hwy 71 one Sunday when we stopped at a little ice cream stand somewhere along the way. we got out of the car and there in line to get some ice cream stood 6 or so wrestlers from back in the mid south wrestling days (i.e. the Junk Yard Dog, Ernie Ladd, Dusty Rhodes, Jake the snake Roberts, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, etc.). I was about 9 or so, and just couldn't believe that the good guys and the bad guys were being nice to one another...

by the time we got to BR, I had figured out that this couldn't possibly be real. I was pretty disappointed about this for a few weeks.

Soooooo, they are really taking kicks to the face? All those punches are real?


They really bleed. They really get suplexed. It takes a hell of an athlete to be a good wrestler.

Mic Foley didn't fake an 18 foot drop off a cage and through a table.

I'm sure that the rampant steroid, alcohol and drug abuse combined with life on the road are a factor here too.


This is primarily what kills them off at a young age. Sacrificing their bodies for entertainment doesn't help, but the excessive steroids and other drugs bury them early.

Odd. You seem to be the only one in this thread fixated on homoerotic behavior.

Saying it's fake is like saying circe du soleil and broadway is "fake". Yes, you are intelligent enough to recognize that the events are scripted and choreographed congratualtions. Literally everyone with an iq above room temperature knows it's all performance art; pointing that out and telling everyone you know it's fake is dumber than actually believing it's real. It's akin to seeing Santa clause iconography and scoffing at the kids who believe it and insisting on telling fellow adults you're too smart to be taken in by that scam


All of this. Well said.

Didn't even start watching it until I was a teenager, and I already knew it was scripted. It's the male version of a soap opera.

Doesn't take much as a teenager to figure out it's fake, if you pay attention. Things like "unsanctioned matches" wouldn't have space on the card if that were the case. They would just happen. Oh, and everytime something happened, a camera just happened to be there? Hmmm.

At least back then they didn't have frick ups like a Security Guard trying to stop Gronk from interfering in a match, only to be told by the refs that it's part of the show. Lmao!

Lol at the anti-wrestling goons. There's plenty of shite I don't enjoy in the realm of entertainment but I don't ever feel the need to belittle those that do enjoy it. It does really show how ignorant they are when they chime in.
