I never thought it was real at all. Even as an 8 year old kid I was aware it was staged and punches didn't connect.
Before I ever saw any wrestling though, my neighbour who was a few years older than me told me that he saw two brothers have a fight in a cage with their Dad watching. I was amazed at how sick that was. My neighbour even proceeded to tell me the history of these brothers, how one burnt the house down and the other one disappeared for years and returned wearing a mask.
What a story that was.
