I can't believe that the media were trying to get wrestling promotions to admit it's fake in the 80s and before as if there was any doubt about it. I don't see how anyone over the age of 8 or so can think it's real. I have heard than adults in many countries around the world think it's real.

I feel like I was watching a Ted Dibiase match when I was like five, and somebody was bleeding. My mom said "you know that's not real blood, right? It's just ketchup". Even though I was five, I thought my mom was pretty fucking stupid for thinking that the real blood was ketchup. I remember still thinking it was real for a while after that, but I can't really pinpoint where I realized that it was definitely fake.

Can't remember exactly but it occurred with either someone saying the matches were fixed or to notice certain moves and notice either the sound came from the mat or the leg of the wrestler.

Before that I never bothered to look for that stuff in a match and was more preoccupied cheering or booing for wrestlers.

Did wrestling ever really use ketchup?

I remember when that Pro Wrestling Secrets thing aired on TV, and the next day at school everyone was trying to 'explain' pro wrestling as if they'd been pros for 20 years.

And by 'at school', I mean a bunch of 12 year olds.

As for the blood, the funniest explanation came from a guy when I was 16, he 'knew' how they did everything. Apparently, wrestlers have small, skin-coloured blood packs stuck on their forehead. They're so thin you can't see them. Then they cut them open and out comes the blood.

I just humoured the guy and nodded my head.

I knew it wasn't really real before then but didn't quite "get" it until that show. I was also older when I found out Santa was a fake and where babies come from.

I'd always know from when I was about 6 that it was fake, but was in denial until the royal rumble one year when the undertaker apparently died and rose up through the stadium. Can't remember what year exactly, but that killed all belief for me.

The only thing that really got on my nerves about the Exposed show is that they made it sound as though all of the signs were made by the companies.

"You don't think they actually brought those signs from home, do you?"

The chops are real. Plus, "YOU CAN'T TEACH SOMEBODY TO FALL OFF A TWENTY FOOT LADDER!". Therefore, it's not ONE HUNDRED percent fake...but it's definitely not one hundred percent real. The thread title is fine.

Likewise.

And my friends. And my teachers. And casual aquaintances.

Rap, however, is completely real to me.

When the Road Warriors attacked Dusty Rhodes and gouged his eye with their spike from the shoulder pads, i was bothered as a little kid. My Dad and Aunt had to tell me how it was all like a tv show and it was done just for fun, like everything else in wrestling. At the time i was just happy Dusty was alright.

Man I remember that! That was VERY graphic for back been, crazy as I think about it now, because you would never think that would be allowed back then.

I remember everyone telling me it was fake growing up, and on some level it registered, but I was probably 12 or so and I realized I knew exactly what was going to happen next in the match and "Why didn't he know that was coming? He does that same move every m-- Oh..." Plus, I always wondered why Bret Hart never turned around and hit the turnbuckles with his back like everybody else.

My dad broke the sad news to me pretty much the instant I mentioned that I wanted to watch wrestling. I mean, he humored me and took me to shows and stuff, but I was informed from the very beginning that it was staged.

You would not believe how few people listen to that arguement.

When did you find out that TV Shows weren't 100% real?

LOL

As far as wrestling goes, I found out about the same time I got internet so late 1998.
And I remember thinking "Theres no way that wrestling can continue being popular if people are able to get on the internet and find out its fake as easily as I did"..boy was I wrong.

Fuck off.
That part got on my nerves too when I watched it. I remember watching it when it was first shown and my mum came into the room when that part was on and she believed it. It wasn't until a few years later though that she actually said to me while I was watching SmackDown "They're all given those signs, right?".

I had to tell her no and that "Pro Wrestling's Greatest Secrets" was all nonsense. She thought the same about blood too, she thought the blood wasn't real until I told her about blading.

As for me finding out about it all being predetermined, (I hate using the word "fake") I can't actually pinpoint the moment or anything but I think it was around the time of Owen Hart's death or maybe a few months after it. I remember since he died, always knowing to some degree that wrestling is predetermined.

Also, I hated Nick Bakay's narration of the program so much. He just sounded so condescending that I wanted to hit him with a blunt object.

I just remembered. Here where I live, access to cable was installed around 1997. Now this gave greater access to WWE than what there was previous. This led to some people tuning back into WWE after a five year break. Cue people telling me at 14 that wrestling was now real. This was because of the attitude era being more realistic that the early nineties cartoon era that we had all grew up on.
