What was the moment where you could no longer deny this shyt was fake?

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

I was like WAIT A MINUTE LOL. Still was a fan, but that shyt was so over the top.

Man that showed me that shyt was REAL. Snake was legit biting savage and Jake slapped the shyt out of Elizabeth. Savage was for real bleeding.

You’re telling me you kept lying to yourself that it was real?

For me, pretty sure I found out early on it was predetermined and scripted. I wasn’t shocked or anything, just kept it moving.

like, bigger kids would tell you its fake but you'd play along like "yeah i know " but still believed or wasn't sure...then you'd transition to "well the finishes are decided by the ref but they're really fighting...right " to "wtf...that zombie man didn't teleport "

When they showed hogan and warrior rehearsing their WM match in the gym, I think it was on MTV

Papa Shango.

I was like "hold up...he's doing voodoo? Using magic to mess with Ultimate warrior? that is FAKE! Magic isn't REAL..."

Legit ruined kayfabe for me forever. Had to accept reality the big kids were telling me

I admire your resolve.


I’m a 6’7 230lb whole grown ass bill paying homeowner adult person.


And I still jiggle my door locks before I call it a night just in case Papa Shango decides he’s bored and wants smoke

When it dawned on me one day as a teenage marsupial :

• Why WCW allowed the NWO to take over their shyt without the cops and SWAT?
• Why Kane was committing murder on live fukking TV without getting a death penalty and CNN news coverage?
• How Dreamer got Beulah preggers from another man and it ends up being another woman?
• Why would Shane buy WCW under Vince's nose, and how would he done the shyt without media coverage?
• Why wrestlers hold a fukking chair on their face awaiting to get hit?
• If I am out of it, how I manage to lay properly on a table awaiting to go through the bytch?
• If I am fighting a bunch of wrestlers and we all hold each other up, why are we waiting for some dikkhead to fall on us?
• If I am getting fired, why they doing the shyt on national television...like isn't that illegal or some shyt?
• What is a fukking Bunkhouse and why is it a brawl?
• If its a Hell in a Cell, why the cage is so fukking flimsy?
• Why am I holding the thighs of another man with his nuts on the back of my head, awaiting to be lifted up with my crouch in his face to fall on my damn back?

[Peter Parker]

Tag matches in the early 00s, I always knew exactly what was going to happen, guy gets beat up, gets off a random move, they both fall down and crawl to partner, tag, good guy goes crazy, both down guys get knocked out, finisher, end of match

I was basically able to predict it every time and I did it in front of some of my cousins and ruined wrestling for us all

The E was always too over the top

 

[Jim Cornette]

When I was 6yo and dad showed me WrestleMania one year with Hulk Hogan pinning nikkas with a fukking weak ass leg drop

 

[El Guapo]

I think I was told right away it wasn't real, but I'm pretty sure I figured it out by many wrestlers going by nicknames (e.g., The Ultimate Warrior) and of course real sports always had people go with their government name Also I noticed that they were never in the sports pages or on the sports highlights (local news or SportsCenter). Seemed a little fishy to a young sports fan
