>>14414446>The #1 rule in wrestling is to make it look real.It looked even more fake in the 80s, particularly in America. Unless you think stomping while punching is "making it look real." Also, like the image you posted originally says, fists are meant to be against the NWA rules anyway so they're already breaking kayfabe by punching each other constantly.
> If you didn't think Flair/Kerry worked in that regard, then I don't know what to tell you.Flair is notorious for his exaggerated, fake-y antics though, like the famous corner bump he took literally every single match.
Or the Flair flop -- boy now that's like a REAL FIGHT, brother.
C'mon, man. The whole "it used to look more real" shit is absolutely not true most of the time and you know it. Even old school Lou Thesz matches don't look real where the biggest high spot of the match was an arm drag or a headlock takeover.
