Before I ever watched a single match I knew it was fake. As a child my friend Andrew got me into wrestling with old NWA tape, and since all I heard about it was that it was fake, I was shocked that it looked like they made contact with one another. I had assumed it was all smoke and mirrors and no one ever even touched one another. So in a way, I was instantly shocked at how it, in a manner of speaking, wasn't fake.
...but I never for a single second thought that any of it was unscripted. Again as I gained more knowledge about the industry I was shocked that each match wasn't rehearsed and planned out move for move and that it was much more of an improv performance. Same too can be said for promos.
I guess I'm kind of the anti-wrestling fan. I came into it thinking it was all 100% fake and scripted and learned to appreciate just how real it really was.
