Any story lines or moments in Wrestling that was simply too realistic at the time?

hawk from road warriors drunk storyline in wwe



and i don't know if any of this shyt was true, but Jericho promos about Punk daddy being a drunk

 

[Playaz Eyez]

The Mark Henry sex therapy storyline the gay dude started hitting on him, and he found out some chick was a tranny, that would NOT fly today

 

[Dog Based Gremlin]

i dont know if yall remember but that time HBK fainted in a match on RAW after an enzuigeri by Owen Hart

I think the storyline was that HBK was still feeling the effects from the Syracuse jumpin

I thought that shyt was real as a kid

 

[Mob H]

Immediately thought of this after reading the thread title.

 

[Here Comes the Pain]

People down south were like

 

[TransJenner]

When Kane first unmasked it was on my mind literally everyday till the next RAW


That shyt felt like the biggest deal ever , I really thought Kane and Undertaker was brothers


I felt like Undertaker was legit because he was mentioned in Home Alone

That was great TV. the mid 90s were a weird time.... so much cartoon nonsense, but every now and again they'd bust out a real gem. Announcers didn't really say shyt. Legit seemed like he was fukked up.

Think it was Russo's book where it's talked about. He said he was supposed to be gay, but they got in major shyt for it, so McMahon came up with the idea of having him pretend in order to fukk with people.

i find that funny. i cant remember the last time the dude had a championship belt. i think it was the intercontinental belt

 

[Mic-Nificent]

Very first thing I thought of....

I remember watching this as a kid like "Stone Cold about to get shot!! "

I remember this shyt too, and I thought it was a real as a kid too. WWE did a whole thing where they were doing cheesy HBK tribute videos like he was near death or some shyt:



I also remember they were doing like dueling tributes at one point between HBK and Bret.

 

[WaveMolecules]

Their falls count anywhere match was so fukking dope

Still the most vicious promo ever cut in WWE history:

Still the most vicious promo ever cut in WWE history:

i swear, you cannot even do a promo like this no more in this day of age due to the content. it would be too offensive. times have changed since then.
90s was the greatest decade of all time

The whole Jake the Snake Macho Man storyline especially with Jake slapping Elizabeth and cutting the creepy ass promo after.
