i remember watching that episode of 20/20 in grade school and was shocked as hell, really thought it was real in grade school being a huge wrestling fan , remembered vividly when he asked the wrestler if it was fake and the wrestler smacked him on the face and said "is this real" lol. havent watched wrestling ever since that expose lol...well anyway this assange wikileaks coming up reminds me of that episode, hope this leak is as profound as that wrestling expose.

we even had some bullshit local wrestling down in corpus, and could catch it on channel 39 out of houston when I was growing up.....
watched that shit every sat or sunday morning, doing a replay of the stuff from the night before.....
always hocking some furniture and diamond store (IW Marks, I think) if i recall correctly.....
good ol youtube:
nice, at the 2:00:00 mark is an interview with andre the f'n giant and one of his matches thereafter around 2:06:30!!!
Even saw some prick having "the claw" applied to his f'n forehead.... we were running around the play ground in 4th grade doing that shit to each other.....Comment -
When it comes to real and fake, truth and lies Im pretty black and white. i remember one summer when I was 10 years old my cousin and I were wrestling fanatics. I put two and two together and alot of stuff didnt make sense to me like why at certain instances a wrestler wouldnt take advantage of certain situations or why they punched like they did or why when a guy throws you into the ropes you automatically agree with his throwing you, you bounce off and return only to get suflexed. I remember telling him its fake and told him these reasons and many more, he didnt want to believe it lol it was no different than about 3 years before that I told him Santa Claus wasnt real he didnt believe it and was mad at me for saying it.Comment -
wrestling was the shit back in the day, i was sad for like a whole week and felt so betrayed. i used to get nightmares of the mongolian killer khan, those fuckers were very real to me...Comment -
It's fake. Have you ever wondered why they get hit with a folding chair instead of a mahogany chair or an ottoman?Comment -
It's real, in the sense that they do get injured.
It's fake in that
- outcomes predetermined (hence why it's not technically a real sport)
- much of the violence is faked (stomping on a guys head/neck)
They're definitely athletes. But so are movie stuntmen.Comment
