when did u TRULY realise it was fake
as a kid (under 10yrs) i thought wrestling was real. As i grew up watchng i kept wonderng: why do they climb the ladder so slow? Why do they put their own hand where they are punchng the guy? Etc.. So what did it for you?

Hulkamania was what gave it away for me. I remember when I started thinking that only the WWF was, and the NWA/AWA was real. Good times. But later I realized that it all was. Can't remember when that happened exactly.

I knew it was fake even before I started watching it. In that respect, I was lucky.

I knew is was fake before I started watching...watching it though was when I realised it wasn't as fake as I thought it was. When I actually saw my frist match (Davey Boy Smith won against someone who I can't remember) I was SHOCKED that they actually made contact with each other.

It wasn't obvious to everyone who watched in the 80s?
This shit's faker than the Power Rangers. |

In like mid or late '90s when that special on NBC called "The Secrets of Pro Wrestling" or something aired. They revealed how some of the more common moves were done.

I miss the days of kayfabe =(
I hate how now its so like "we're just acting and doing stunts for the public." Back in the day, the kayfabe added a special vibe to it all. I guess I was like 8 when I realized it was fake. |

At some point in the early nineties. I can't remember exactly when. I know that I stopped watching for about a year, and when I started watching again I realized that it was fake.

When I was about 11 or 12, people at school told me they were paid to lose etc, I was like "whatever"... anyway... I kinda just slowly caught on to how it was fake.

I believe it was a Shawn Micheals vs Marty Jannetty match where Shawn threw Marty into the ringpost. Jannetty hit his right sholder but grabbed his left sholder.

![]() I was told it was fake before I started watching, I used to wonder to what degree it was fake. Thats kinda what led me here. My first WWF event was Royal Rumble 2000 with the Triple H vs Cactus Jack match. That when I stopped watching WCW as the WWF was more of a spectacle. If only I had known I'd have carried on watching. |

When I got to go backstage at a WWF event here in Chicago (had to be the mid-late 80s) and saw Hogan/Savage/Boss Man having a beer and going over what they were going to do later that night.

I went on an up-and-down rollercoaster from the fake to the real.
Me (to my two best friends, circa 1998): Why do you guys watch that crap? It's just big idiots in their underwear having fake matches! You guys are so gay! I'm gonna go watch Friends. That shit is the goods. Me (watching Nitro, circa 1999): NOOO!!! STING WON THE BELT FROM DDP EARLIER, BUT NOW HE'S DROPPED IT RIGHT BACK TO HIM!!! NOOOOO!!!! FUCK THE WORLD!!! Me (reading a report on Slam! Wrestling): ......huh.... so Hogan politics his way to the top... |

I started watching when I was around 5 years old...but I never really thought it was real to begin with. I just got entertainment out of it when I was a kid, just watched and got addicted.....Not to say I don't get entertainment out of a stripper ending Raw now, by prancing around with DX painted on his ass, of course.
