Like the natch that eric showed with Bam Bam Bigelow helping Lawler. He supposedly did a falling down headbutt to Tommy Rich?
Didn't land anywhere near him really.
Up until the Lawler/Kaufmann matches....I was a fervent believer. I watched every Saturday as a teenager...and my dad ruined it for me.
He said..."you know that's fake right? Just watch...they don't really hit or kick each other."
Its only when you WATCH for what's going on that you lose that magic.
After that...it wasn't fun for me for awhile. I got up and turned off the tv.
Took a few months to draw me back.

A group of us decided to go one night and sat on the floor(do not do this if your kids are actually believers). Was the night Don Bass got his head shaved.

Some of the jobbers were terrible and could not throw or take a punch to save their lives. But worst part is when a security guard tells another one "now be alert they are going to leave the ring and fight down the isle"

Watching some of the other fans is more entertaining than the matches at times.
