Somewhat, I knew the punches and kicks and storylines weren't real, but I thought the slams and weapons hurt as bad as the wresters sold them.

I was sold on absolutely everything. I remember seeing HHH vs Cactus at RR 2000 when I was a kid and just refusing to believe that it was faked.

I never really looked at the matches as "real" or "fake". They were just there as part of the show. So I guess in that regard I didn't think it was real.

Though there were a few things that scared the everliving shit out of me and bought it as real, like Taker slitting his wrist during the sacrifice. Also when Austin was going to be embalmed.

One of the first live events I ever saw was sometime around 85 or 86 (I was 6 at the time) and it was a NWA event at the UIC pavilion. We had front row seats thanks to my dad knowing Mike & Joe (Hawk & Animal).

The main event was Ric Flair vs Dusty Rhodes in a Chicago Street Fight. This was not to long after the Four Horsemen first formed and they came in at some point of the match and beat the holy hell out of Rhodes - with a few good chairs shots added in (I think the Road Warriors came in to clear the ring - still one of the biggest pops I have ever heard from a live crowd).

After the match, my dad reached down over the railing and grabbed one of the chairs they had used - bloodied up and beat to shit - about as real as it gets. I was sold on the whole thing from that point on...

... well until I got to meet Mike & Joe about a year later at an AWA event and saw some of the guys in the back working on holds and spots for that night.

I knew something was up, but like any kid, didn't really care or look into it much.

Then Papa Shango made the Ultimate Warrior vomit and that scared me so much that I stopped watching wrestling for several years.

By the time I started watching again, I knew what was up.

My parents ruined it fairly early for me. Especially my dad. He would point out certain timing mechanisms and signs to signal a spot. Hated that, though it did lead to me appreciating guys like Bret, Shawn and the other early to mid 90s stars for how much effort they put into selling it.

Also, my dad, to this day, tries to lead me to believe that when a wreslter is bleeding from the skull, they have some sort of never-ending blood prosthetic hidden in their hair. I try showing him guys like Austin, where you can clearly see where the cut was made, and he tells me it's just Hollywood magic

I knew it was fake when Undertaker threw foley off the hell in a cell and JR said "BAH GAWD!! HE IS BROKEN IN HALF! AS GOD AS MY WITNESS THAT MAN IS BROKEN IN HALF!!" and Foley was clearly NOT broken in half. It clicked. if JR is lying to me...

God no. Nobody would let me think that. Everyone and their grandpa would give wrestling fans "the talk" for just mentioning they watched it. It's not that I was smarter, it's just that wrestling being fake was a huge stick up the entire goddamn community's craw.

I was very entertained and got involved into wrestling but there were things that made me second guess if wrestling was real. The first and worst piece of evidence was watching WCW and a Ric Flair match. He did his patented jumping knee drop and it was nowhere near the guy's head but the dude reacted anyways. Also seeing Flair flipping and flopping didn't help either. Not to mention the move where he gets whipped to the turn buckle and flips over it then stumbles on the outside apron until someone clotheslines him or he goes to the top rope but the other dude turns it into a body slam. That shit happened far too often.

Anyone know of the in-ring signals and codes that the wrestlers have to secretly inform their opponents of the next spot? I've always wondered what it means when they whip each other into the corner, but issue a light slap on the back in the process.
