I have to agree with The CyNick here. As far as the WWE goes, everything is real. We are not supposed to believe that one thing is more real than another, because then we lose some illusion to the business. Angle/Puder was enjoyable, not because it was real, but because Puder was real. We KNOW he can break a man's arm, but in wrestling he's no more real than when Kane was in a fire as a child.

We all were cheering Puder when he went to break in Angle's arm, because we all know he COULD do it, whether or not he was doing it was not important, because in wrestling everything is on the shared level of realism. Puder's MMA background makes him more believeable in the ring, but him shooting is not going to get him anymore over than Kane was when he was destroying people left, right and center.

McMahon/Bischoff had the heat from WWE/WCW, and a lot of that was real, but most of the heat can be attributed to McMahon being WWE owner, and Bischoff being WCW owner, not some of the political and business movs that went on behind the scenes.
