Before finding out that it was all choreographed, what assumptions did you have about pro wrestling?
-As a kid I assumed all jobbers were just regular people off the street that signed up for a match that night rather than being trained wrestlers
-When Kane debuted I was legitimately worried that he would take over the WWF singlehandedly and go undefeated forever. I also thought he was a Satanist too
-I first started watching WCW in 1996 and thought it was a brand new promotion. Ric Flair used to talk about being a 12 time world champion but then he would constantly get his ass whooped by the nWo, so for years I never took him seriously and just thought of him as a crazy, delusional old man who was somehow convinced that he was a legend. I would change the channel whenever he appeared and groan when he came out to fight to Hollywood Hogan because I thought "not this flabby old weirdo again, where is Sting or DDP?" It wasn't until years after I stopped watching that I fully realized the extent of his legacy. Oops!
