It occurred in stages, like how it all goes down, it was never a complete 'Oh ok, it's all fake' moment, moreso than just constant learning about things, email newsletters, movies/docs, etc

When WCW/NWA came to my town and had an event. I couldn't have been anymore than 9 at the most. But after seeing Stunning Steve Austin lose a match and then to see him and the wrestler who beat him have a convo minutes later down a hallway just took away all the fun away from me. And I have never looked at it the same since. Like when cats be arguing about who is gonna win a match and they talk like it's real I just couldn't get into it like that anymore. Especially when 99 percent of the time you can predict who is gonna win.

The Robocop shyt solidified it...

My uncles were cool about it cause they were into wrestling, my brother too... but my sister just hated it so she always used to say how phony it was and I'd be :demonic: like she was just tryin' to bullshyt me.

But then they'd have the wrestlers on Arsenio and shyt like that, and I'd start to think "ehh, there's somethin' not real about that". But then, the Robocop shyt happened in WCW with Sting and them... just like homie said about Chucky- I either had to believe Robocop was real or wrestling was fake... and Robocop being real was just a ridiculous fukkin' idea.

But then, I'd think everything was fake, even when people would be legit injured. I'd think they were just going on vacation or some shyt, when most of the time it was for real- just not the way it was explained on TV.

I was a little kid and saw faces and heels eating breakfast at dennys together. I was scared as fukk tellin my mom some shyt was about to pop off while i,was hiding under the table. Then I saw big bossman telling tito santana a joke and brooklyn brawler had on a clean shirt. My mind was blown... Also I found out that day that mr. perfect was a nice guy and yokozuna spoke english. Even then, being as scared as I was, all them nikkas autographed a shirt for me. My tiny negro mind couldn't process it until I saw prime time or raw(whichever one it was at the time) that next week and them nikkas was cuttin promos hating each other again.

I mean, like every fan you always hear shyt from other people that it's fake.. but the outlandish shyt never made me question it. Early in to the attitude era I became aware of behind the scenes shyt through a free yellow pages hotline that would tell you about upcoming debuts or plans for feuds... and then from there as I used the internet more and more I became a full fledged smark through forums and shyt like that.

I was scared as fukk tellin my mom we had to dip before some shyt popped off, but the I heard big boss man telling jokes with tito santana and brooklyn brawler had on a clean shirt... It blew my mind and as scared as a I was, literally hiding under the table, them nikkas all autographed a shirt for me. I also found out that day that mr. perfect was a nice guy and yokozuna spoke english.

Kind of a similar story I had was the time I met Bret Hart before a house show, and that night Bret was gonna face The Undertaker in the main event.. as I was meeting him about to get my picture taking with him I had on an Undertaker T-Shirt.. and I remember thinking "Oh man.. what's he going to say when he sees I'm an Undertaker fan." So i ended up making sure my jacket was all the way zipped up.. cause I thought for sure he would've taken offense to me being a fan of the guy he was wrestling that night. :snoop:

:bryan: Him and whoever Hogan had just beat were like.... HUGGING AND DRY HUMPING Hogan with some double bearhug shyt, right! :bryan:


:demonic: goddamn I hate Hogan's face run.

1. Hogan either gets jumped or one of his friends gets jumped.

2. Hogan cuts "You know something brother, me and all my lil hulkamaniacs have never faced a challenge like__________" promo

3. Foe jumps Hogan or Hogan jumps foe on some heel shyt

4. they wrestle at PPV. Hoegan gets upperhand early. Foe beats on Hogan for 45 minutes. Hogan "hulks up", wins with a fukking BIG BOOT and a LEGDROP.

5. Either NEW foe attacks while Hogan is celebrating at the end of match, or while Hogan is celebrating the next day.

6. Repeat. This went on for THIRTY YEARS!? :why:

it all seems so weird in hindsight. The greater majority of you missed Universal Kayfabe.

nikkas used to have legit police escorts to and from events and shyt. The Freebirds were the most hated redneck crackers alive.

You should watch that Brickhouse Brown shoot interview.

Yea hogans run last run in wwf did it for me, I used to be like how this nikka always win with that bullshyt leg drop. I could clearly see his opponents were better wrestlers than him, but this nikka would not lose..

:whoo: u remember that too

that shyt was the worst...i had the events mixed up in my head apparently..maybe in a subconscious effort to forget the atrocity that it was..

good points on hogan too..forgot the obvious there...at least cena does more than a bodyslam..clearly same blueprint though
