This is a very ironic thing to say considering he's on the side of "it wasn't real, dammit"...

He actually isn't. CSL is pretending that he is an authority on old-school American wrestling culture. He's taking the "wrestling nerd smark" road here, giving us a wink and telling us he know's what's up. Only here it's completely unfounded and embarrassing just like the crying old school fan in his fifties.

I'm making a reasonable conclusion based on the facts we know:

1. Three major players in the events have all said the second bump wasn't supposed to go down the way it did. Mark Calloway in an out-of-character interview. Mick Foley in an out-of-character book. Terry Funk in an out-of-character book.

2. That bump could have very easily killed Mick Foley.

3. The theory that the second bump was planned comes from the internet and not any source connected to the match.

4. The motivation for lying about that second bump is non-existent. It adds zero drama or amazement to the match whether or not it was planned or unplanned.

Is there anyone who doubts that Foley suffered a concussion from the fall? Or that he received the injuries he listed in his book? Was he supposed to lose his ear in Germany as well? Was D-Lo supposed to paralyze Droz?

Even if it was planned, it was a dumb idea and I would have expected both Foley and Taker to have had a little more respect for each other and the profession.

The real point "smarks" should take away from this discussion is that they don't know everything. There's no such thing as a "smart mark" and rolling your eyes at Foley going through the cage says more about the person doing it than anything about the business of professional wrestling.
