Tell of a time when someone said

I was at a Raw taping in Sept. 97 (the Raw after Austin stunned Vince for the first time, where HBK climbed the Titantron running away from Taker). First of all, these 2 young "wannabe gangster" white teenagers were sitting in our ( myself, My brother and his friends) seats, so the night started out just great. So I had to sit next to these two douchebags the entire night. There were just some great ones "ECW was real" "Hogan was coming back to the WWF" (remember this was 1997), "Sting and the Undertaker were going to form a tag team and destroy the NWO" They spent the whole night laughing at the workers and saying things like "he didn't even hit him yo" "That was so fake yo" "If wrestling were real yo, no one could beat the Undertaker yo, especially Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels" There was a smart mark in back of us that tried to explain how things work in wrestling, but they didn't believe any of it, and just started laughing at the matches and how "fake" they looked. They almost ruined the night for me, but thank God they left early.

My father after going to a Stampede Wrestling show this past weekend:

 

Him: "You see one fight you've seen them all, and all they do is those bad punches and fake slaps."

 

Me: "Those really do hurt you know..."

 

Him: "Haha, yeah right."

Shoulda knife-edge'd him. I did that to my cousin once when he said nothing in wrestling hurts. I just went "BAM!" across his chest with the palm of my hand, and he screamed bloody murder, wondering why I did it. I was like "was that fake?"

When the Maye Young/Mark Henry angle was going on, a friend of mine kept going on and on about how fake it was. I was like OH YEAH!? I decided to teach him a lesson so I ripped off my pants, exposed my crotched, and out of my ass came a human head with green slime.

 

True story.

 

I've also had people tell me that Taker isn't really a dead man, and that him and Kane don't really have magical powers...stupid morons.

 

 

 

 

Seriously though, I could go on and on and on about people who know nothing about pro wrestling, and their constant bashing of it on the basis that "nothing in wrestling is real".

 

It's all 100% safe, no one ever really gets hurt, the ring is nothing more than a very soft matt with very safe springs under it, and everyone in wrestling are really friends and there is never any REAL bad blood between any of the guys on TV.

Right after the nWo thing started, everyone i knew who watched wrestling (myself, sadly, as well) thought they were, you guessed it, WWF invaders. When Hogan turned, everyone was psyched at the prospect of Hogan/Michaels & all that. You know, mark shit. When Warrior was out of the picture, & they needed a third man for International Incident (Michaels/Ahmed Johnson/Warrior [but became Sid, of course] vs Vader/Bulldog/Owen), everyone was fucking SWEARING Hogan was the guy. The way they introduced Sid (back to camera) had us all believeing in a mark haze that Hogan was back. Yeah, so it was Sid, they started watching Nitro.
