I just watched that "Exposed: Wrestling's Biggest Secrets Revealed" special
 
I vaguely remember seeing it when it aired and I saw it at the library tonight and decided to go ahead and get it.

LOL. WTF was THAT!?

I FINALLY learned how body slams are done. APARENTLY the guy giving the body slam doesn't actually pick his opponent completely off the ground. Get this... THE GUY JUMPS!!! :eek:

And that "old lady in the audience who gets pushed down by the heel as he makes his entrance" gag that we see so much on the rasslin'... wanna know the secret? THE OLD LADY IS A PLANT!!!

The narrator says at the begining "You'll never look at wrestling the same way again." He may be right...

But seriously, this is the biggest piece of shit I've ever seen.

I saw it some four years ago and I was already scratching my head at the time. Having wrestled for a while, I just couldn't believe the stupidity of all this.

Because everybody knows that autographs books gets ripped apart all the time.

That show taught me everything I know about Wrestling.

What kind of plant? fern?

I remember reading the Wrestlecrap article when it was inducted onto the site, but I've never seen the special itself. Sounds ridiculous, though.

#1-norm-fan 07-07-2004 02:53 AM

Yeah, I remember the WrestleCrap article too. Doesn't do it's awfulness justice.

If this was the one on Fox a coup o' years ago,then I saw it. That was a wacky show since it was like the other specials at the time with Magic Revealed series. Before that, I had no idea the bottom of the ring was only consisting of 5 poles and nothing else, just to add the mike for extra sound or for whenever someone sneaks out of the bottom for an interference.

How do they do chairshots?

#1-norm-fan 07-07-2004 04:02 AM

They hit them on their back with a steel chair.

I honestly don't remember them saying any ACTUAL secret about that. Yet the narator was still like "OOH, look like it hurts. But looks can be decieving..."

He was an ass.

Wondermouse 07-07-2004 04:08 AM

Unless, of course, they hit him in the head.

By the way, the secret guy behind the shadow was none other than Harley Race.

#1-norm-fan 07-07-2004 04:18 AM

I noticed that was Harley Race. AWFUL job of disguising him.

The Mackem 07-07-2004 04:24 AM

There was some good "finisher" moves on that show.

#1-norm-fan 07-07-2004 04:26 AM

"And finally, the match ends with a 'finisher move', a sure way to make a dramatic finish" *Cue video of the fat guy hitting a backbreaker*

Shaggy 07-07-2004 11:37 AM

Yea videos like that are just sad to watch. Not only is most of the stuff they talk about different now a days but the crappy stuff in it makes people think wrestling is pretty much crap. How wrong that Video is.

Tornado 07-07-2004 12:39 PM

I saw that a few years back on Sky One.....utter crap. The aim of the show was to make Wrestling look faker than it is..:mad:

The Mackem 07-07-2004 12:53 PM

If I see Salem the cat, I shall let him know how disappointed I am with him.

I don't know wether to rep you for knowing you the narrator was or just back away slowly because I know who it was.

Evolution 07-07-2004 07:47 PM

I thought you were talking about that one with Nick Backay aka Salem.

Didn't he say something about the Federation giving out the signs to the crowd? Why would they do that then take it off a kid for holding it up ("Vince = Roids"; kid at SmackDown! taping) and self promotion signs (TPWW.NET at WrestleMania XIX)

That show was utter garbage.

MVP 07-07-2004 08:02 PM

Wrestling can't be fake it's on TV.

Xero 07-07-2004 08:07 PM

I remember it... Pretty shitty...

I love the "Refuse Autograph" crap... All of the shit they said was either way false or too sad to be true...
