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... ![]() shoot interviews for free : http://forums.projectcovo.com/showthread.php?t=1562931 Another quality shitty thread by The MAC ![]() |

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. |

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

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.

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.

If you think about it, Irish whips are really stupid.
Same with slingshots. |

This drives me mental a bit as well, so many guys put no effort whatsoever into whipping a guy into the ropes/buckles, like they have the strongest wrists on earth.
The biggest thing for me though is probably stuff like Dragon Gate, anything with thousands of MOVEZ! basically. |

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. |

Some guys almost over-compensate with it because they're told about it when training and wind up with some Olympic squat powerlift looking thing going on. ARE YOU A BIG FAT OVERCOMPENSATOR RAMMSTEINMAD?

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. |

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) |

And I liked the 619 better when it was a rope dive feint instead of an offensive maneuver. On topic: I saw my first obvious tell when I was little and went to a house show at the Beeghly Center, then saw the exact same Sgt. Slaughter match two days later, and from another location, on Superstars. In particular, a complaint about a "hair pull" spot to the ref by a bald Slaughter. The seeds of smark were planted on that day. |

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. |
