I remember when Mach Man died I asked my Mom what happened to him. She told me that his daughter's boyfriend was going to pull a prank on him but it went wrong and he ended up shooting Macho dead. I believed this for 10 years until I got into wrestling and found out what actually happened.

The Kevin Nash 1992 thing. When I was a kid, I was like, "No way in hell is that true, wtf". Now that I'm a fully-grown, taxpaying adult who has served on a jury and recently paid off a 30-year mortgage, I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt that shit happened.

>blood capsules
Not used enough, imo.
I was watching "Cyborg" (Jean Claude Van Dam) as a kid and there was a scene where JCVD kicked his way off of a giant cross. He crashed into the ground below and started spitting up blood.

I asked my bros, "What the heck is that?!"

They told me that he had blood capsules in his mouth and just broke them open with his teeth. And my only thought was, "Why is this character pretending to bleed out his mouth? Nobody is even around? All the bad guys left."
I guess ya had to be there.

I swear to God that I saw Sgt Slaughter burn the American flag on TV when I was a kid. I even remember talking about it with other kids at the lunch table. But it turns out he never did, he just burned a Hulk Hogan shirt on a flagpole.

There's an old screencap from /wooo/ where someone said when he was a kid, he thought the Rock's gimmick was that he eats pussy. Something about his entire demeanor made him think this, and "finally the Rock has come back" to a place he has eaten pussy before. Anyone have this screencap?

This is a great example of the magic of TV. What you saw, were images foreigners burning the American flag in the Hogan video and you saw Slaughter burning the Hogan shirt and because they were linked in your head they merged together until you were convinced you saw Sarge burning the flag. WWF used to be clever in image associations like that.

I always thought it was obvious wrestling was fake (I started watching around 12 which is older than most people here), however there are few storylines I thought were real to an extent:

>Taker and Kane being shoot brothers.
>Donald Trump buying Monday Night Raw.
>Rey Mysterio was Eddie´s best friend (when in reality he was closer to Benoit and Malenko)
>Umaga was a legit tribe man who only knew enough english to work a match.
>That some wrestler were actually from the countries their gimmicks implied they were (Sabu was arab, Santino was italian, Kofi was jaimcan, etc.)
>Cena actually served on the marines
