obvious tells that wrestling is fake
 

what are your favorite "tells" that wrestling is fake?

here's a few of mine:


1. landing on a springy canvas hurts but when they land on another guy they are okay.

2. sworn enemies wait until monday to fight.

3. They get punched and kicked in the face but theres no bruises or teeth missing.

4. when 2 guys are discussing a "plan" they don't notice a cameraman filming it all and broadcasting it on the titantron.

5. Cena wins


list some of yours...

I gotta say, I've always been bugged by heel/face psychology.

For example, Kane is a heel, he sets Jim Ross on fire. Fuck him he's the most evil man on the planet how could he sink to such lows etc.

Six months later, Kane has turned face, and is being beat down by some stable. JR will be there saying how Kane is heroically trying to fight back but the cowardly bad guys have him outnumbered.

Kinda ridiculous, and I know it's a part of pro wrestling, always has been, always will be, but it's pretty retarded in a real life way.

A 57 year old man and a 61 year old man honestly believing that people want to watch them wrestle on tv

If a face tags his partner when the ref is distracted he'll force them to switch back, if a heel tags his partner while the ref is distracted a simple self clap is all that is needed to convince the ref that a tag was made, hell sometimes no sound effect is needed they just switch and the ref says shit.

I mean, seriously. It was caught on camera, shown on live television, WITH REPLAYS. That's the most open and shut case ever.

A professional fighter is able to tee off on a guys face for multiple unblocked shots without any gloves and the other guy isn't knocked out.

EVERYTHING

If you think about it, Irish whips are really stupid.

Same with slingshots.

You know, I never realized how that promo is basically admitting that wrestling is fake.

"Yes, this is entertainment."

Arquette being champion,Paul bearer dying twice and the entire Kane/Taker feud.Starting from 1998 on it had gotten worse and worse.

The punching/stomping the ring.

When one guy does a bunch of flippy moves and the other guy waits for them to hit them.
Also Rey Mysterio's 6-1-9. Its a great move but when the other guy is obviously hanging on the ropes waiting for it, it becomes an embrassement.

Edge kidnapping Paul Bearer for several months, traveling around the country with him in tow. (Somehow being the good guy whilst doing so)

I have the best looking Irish Whip in the world ever! I need to get my shit together and get some videos online of my matches. I put so much effort into my Whips for the reasons you said. This is my true goal in the wrestling industry.

Undertaker is known for his streak.

Ric Flair is known for his 16 title reigns.

I will be known for my Irish Whip.

When someone gets attacked in the ring, makes his comeback, the heal leaves the ring and the face just stands there like the ropes are holding him back. I always, to this day, yell at the TV "GO GET HIM! HES RIGHT THERE!"

slingshots are pretty bad.

People bending over between another guys legs just waiting to be powerbombed.

How royal rumble's always end on time. people suddenly start getting eliminated faster.

how wrestlers only end up bent over the second rope in rey mysterio matches (setup for 619)

Nope. Was never told about it in training, just something I picked up whilst watching other people with their shite Irish Whips.

MY IRISH WHIPS ARE THE REAL DEAL!!!

Every aspect of Wrestling looks fake. My wife sits beside me while I'm watching Raw and always asks, "What the hell do you watch this shit for?" or "This is the worst shit on T.V. It's so fake."

When I tell her most of the shit would hurt, she responses, "Whocares? 99% of the shit these guys do is fake, it is for children."

I can't fight back at her anymore, because she is basically right.

If my wife swore at me that much I would punch her in the head.

Wrestlers who had never once used a powerbomb in their lives would do so against Billy Kidman, which he would reverse to the surprise of everyone.

2 men. Put baby oil on.
Then put sparkly little pants on.
Then come out with fireworks and the whole shebang.
All this just to fight each other.

Surely if they really wanted to fight then they would do it backstage in the locker room as soon as they see each other.

Vintage Stone Cold!!!

Being buried alive.

Does your cunt of a wife realize that every show on television is fake? Tell her to shut the fuck up and go watch some fake doctors perform fake surgery and talk about their fake emotions.

Of course they break his fall
Why get arrested if they are parented a fight?
Closed fists are illegal
He is just that damn good

Couldn't resist it. Besides, more Dennis Stamp is always good for one's health.

How is Cena wins mean its fake? I'm pretty sure he'd do just fine in a fight. Has a fist like a sledgehammer.

every week?
fuck off

Irish whips are the most ridiculous. You push a guy and what does he do instead of falling down? He runs, bounces against rubber rober after turning around to run into you doing whatever you want to him.
