fake is a poor word for wrestling. They really should use words like "staged" or rehearsed, planned, scripted, etc. The action may be preplanned and the outcomes scripted. Many of the moves are staged but there is definitely real risk involved in many of their moves.. especially top rope stunts and pile drivers.
this is not even wrestling....its PRO wrestling.... PRO wrestling is acted out to entertain... real wrestling exists too.... but doesnt have all that drama because its just downright wrestling with real rules
"Michael I understand your frustration I really do DAMMIT but If you don't say what I want you to say then I will head back into the office grab my phone and call up Heidenreich to replace Jerry the king Lawler on commentary" - Vince Mcmahon that very same night
This is how poor wrestling is lately - Vince has Jinder Mahal and Amore as main stars. I don't hate them - but come on. I guess they can say their lines the best - therefore they get the spot light. Let the wrestlers be themselves again - and the cream will automatically rise to the top.
Don't believe everything you see on youtube, everyone can make videos, everyone does make videos, and because you see it you immediatly believe it? Cmon... Simple minded folks.
Another example of the X being thrown up was on Jeff Hardy at his match with Sting cause he was loaded as hell (TNA I know but an example none the less).
awadofpaper sting legit wanted to kick his teeth in. It was cringe and Jeff was unprofessional that night robbed the crowd of what could of been a great match glad he's clean now
Yeah he was loaded off his gourd on pain pills, you gotta be fucked up to have a match called before it even starts. Bischoff even had to go out there and talk to Sting and make it look like he was changing the stipulations on the fly.
He was both angry and disappointed. He was also legitimately concerned for Jeff. Sting had been interviewed about that match a few times, and was very candid about how he felt.
Dylan K I watched the 30 for 30 on Rid Flair and he said if the best thing any wrestler can do is sell the bump and make it look believable. Flair knew how much to sell the bump to the point where you thought it was real, case in point the refs calling in an injury even though he wasn't. He sold it so well, you couldn't tell one way or the other. The other thing he said a wrestler should do really good is to sell the idea that he was scared when he had to be a heel. It was a great show with him. He was so great at what he did, it's unbelievable.
during the Monday night wars one of the chief things I realized about WWF was they never did commercial breaks during a fight. WCW was doing that shit twice at least on Nitro, usually on the mid cards. I remember eventually getting so tired of it happening that it bordered on contempt for the wrestlers. I figured it had to do with Vince respecting the talent more or something, but then soon as the WWF had a few weeks of pulling ahead of wcw, they started doing it again.
I wanna see a sequel to this video this was really informative (even though I knew how most of them were done) and entertaining such as listening to the commentators when they are on commercial or before a show starts you handled this one phenomenally and I hope to see another video like this in the future keep up the good work

Nice to know the X sign is legit, but it's no big secret and works well. It looks like a typical enough referee gesture. The hand squeeze is clever. So subtle and looks like nothing more than a natural reflex.
6:42 “Words to avoid “Belt” “strap” - we don’t have belts or straps”. Also 6:42 “The BELT represents something. Talk about what it represents” Talk about contradictions OMG 😂😂
I have personal experience with 2 of these... Judgment Day 2005 I (and many fans) were waiting in the Lobby between the opening of Doors and opening of the Gates, and for what ever reason there was a Live feed of the Arena Floor, centered on the Ring... at some point Kurt Angle and Booker T (with Sharmell) along with a 4th (the agent obviously, spacing on who it was) came down to the ring and they went through a couple of dry runs on the timing of an Interference spot (a failed attempt at one if i recall) Bragging Rights 2010 the Buried Alive match... I had some free/super cheap borderline Nose Bleeds directly above the Dirt Mound for the Burial Spot - not only could you tell the sides of the 'Grave' were wood with a dirt-like paint job, but one of the panels (i assume the exit door) was a hair off flush, so you could see light from inside the Room where Taker would eventually retreat to avoid the Dirt... judging by the platform (the Astroturf ) that they had around the Hole I'd say he had a 4Wx6Lx5D Cubicle... no doubt with Chair, Fan, monitor and drinks as unless there was an access panel in the floor, he stayed in there until the last fan had left the arena (and IIRC there were 2 lengthy matches; Wiki says 45 minutes of match time alone after his)
Cool info thanks for sharing, I knew all that was fake after was a kid but never even thought how they did it. I have a couple of theory's on how the wrestler gets out, either it's a high plat form and they roll out the bottom or the lights go dark and they cover the wrestler in something black and he just walks away. Makes more sense then making him sit in a tiny box for 2 hrs
The Boss Stage1 yuppers Brock busted open the viper legit. I have herd/read rumors that Brett Hart handed Steve Austin a blade just before their match @ Wrestlemania 13?😉
D_Dizzie _Druck actually not quite. Austin had never really bladed before and told Bret since he had never done it, he didn't feel comfortable blading at Mania, considering they weren't supposed to and he wasn't sure how to do it well....so...Bret cut him! Austin gave Bret permission to and when Bret throws him into a guard rail, apparently Austin had second thoughts, saying "maybe we shouldn't" but Bret was such a pro, he did it quickly and perfectly.
D_Dizzie _Druck no worries! I'm a lifelong Hitman mark. Thank you for being one of the cool fans who knew I wasn't trying to "correct" you and be a know it all!
Wasn't Paul Bearer's "death" so that he could have a legitimate health issue addressed? Any fan knows he passed away for real years later. Undertaker's tribute for him is still one of my favorite Deadman moments.
I would say that it died in 2002. The very last time I watched a full WWF/WWE showing, was a pay per view around 2004. I was very disappointed. I have tried recently, to watch some of their shows but can't stomach it past a few seconds. I will only somewhat watch certain women's matches, and thats only because I like looking the women.
Awesome episode! I've been a fan for so long, it's hard to find anything that feels new, or that I haven't already heard. You always have info that I haven't heard or build on things I knew. Great content!!
Dont forget drowning out the boos. My theory is they mess with the bass and treble, since cheers are more of a treble sound and boos are more of a bass sound.
Great insight into the pro wrestling business. No matter how PG today’s product is and that I may not watch WWE anymore. WWE still gave some of my greatest childhood memories from 1999-2007. Thankyou WWE
7:55 Hold up! How did they hear Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler having a conversation at a Raw live event? I was at one one time last year, and I never heard them unless if the one who recorded this was right next to them or they're an employee.
That bit with Cole kinda makes you feel for him a bit. Yeah he sounds like a tool a bit but I mean, he's doing his job and whether fans like it or not he is a professional.
This is crazy observant bro. I always used to look for this type of thing and often watch and rewatch stuff time and time again, but I could never catch on to them. Nice work dude.
Kayfabe is dead stop trying to revive it.. Pro Wrestling should be treated like an Art that when it's done right it's a beautiful masterpiece to watch..
My mate, Binston, tried wrestling last year. His gimmick was a baseball bat. When I went to see his first match, I asked him what his bat was for. How was he going to employ it. "Wait and see, but you'll love it, I promise!" Later on that evening, Binston is in the ring after an admittedly decent match. His night had been a success. The crowd went wild as Binston fished the bat out from under the ring. He got into the ring, walked up to his opponent, turned to wink at me as if to say "watch this" and then he took an almighty swing with the bat and sent it crashing right into his opponent's skull. His poor, unwitting opponent dropped like a heap of shit and didn't move. The crowd's cheering went into shocked silence instantly. You could hear the "pop!" when the bat connected. Anyway, it resulted in an opponent who was blinded in one eye, lost 80% of his long-term memory, lost all senses of smell and coordination down his left side, and he lost the ability to speak. Oh, and he caved the side of his skull in. There was an actual bat-shaped dent in his skull. To be fair, Binston reckons he didn't hit him as hard as people think he did. His opponent leant into the blow instead of rolling with it, so it was his own fault, really. "Fucking amateurs!" says Binston of his opponent and his trainers. And now he has problems getting any work wrestling. He's too hard for the wrestling scene. Binston. What a legend!
It's sad that everything is scripted. It explains a lot. I bet it feels much better to create a character that is purely you. Who better to act the part that you yourself created? This is why we had such great characters like The Rock and Austin back in the day. They got to do what they felt was good, and it was. It sounds soul crushing to have someone dictate every single word you say.
Piping in crowd noise is so horrendous and blatant. The "hair dryer" pop is hilarious. They have used it for over 10 years and it's so cringingly obvious when they do it.
Every now and then I have a conversation with a non-wrestling fan and it goes like this "Wrestling's fake, its all pre-planned, blah blah" and I say "You think those 60,000 fans at Wrestlemania dont know that"?
I remember Ric Flair wearing his suit and in the ring on WCW getting real worked up in one of his famous rants, then suddenly he fell back in the corner clutching his chest.I thought for sure he was going to die.
By the way, I've known wrazzlin was "fake" since the early 1960's when the Shiek or Larry Chane or Dick the Bruiser would make Crybaby McCarthy cry or Percival Pringle would get mad over his hair getting messed up. The Sheikh was Awesome in those days working himself up strutting around the ring looking wild eyed. Pampero Firpo was awesome. Today is more technical and extreme....and scripted. Bull Curry, Haystack, Numb Skull Nuremberg, and of course Bobo Brazil, the good ol dayz.
Cobo Arena, mid 70's. Bruiser had Indanapolis, Shiek had Detroit. Back when promoters worked with each other for the benefit of all. Bobby Heenan got his start with these guys in this era. Started as a wrestler. Was mentored by Eddie "The Brain" Creechman to take over as Shiek's manager when Eddie retired. The whole "Brain" and "Weasel" shtick came from Eddie. Angelo and Lanny Poffo, surprised to not see Randy Poffo (Savage). In Detroit the annoucers Lord Athol Layton, and Chuck Allen. Lord Layton was about 6' 8" , taller than Bobo. He towered over the Shiek when "he had enough, and took matters into his own hands"!!! Fun nights.
All the hair dryer pops came from the time stone cold returned. Oh you didn't know? Well its time to play the game cause you got no chance no chance in hell to smell what the rock is cookin.
THat last bit about the false crowd noise could have been useful during the stint in 2020 when the WWE was in the performance center or during the 2014 Royal Rumble match cause dear lord the last twenty minutes of that match oh boy dead silence.
Man, I remember when I was a kid and I was a die-hard wrestling fan. Way back in the days of Jimmy Snuka, Coco Beware, and others. Anyhoo, I swore up and down that wrestling was real. I saw a tv program that "exposed" wrestling secrets. I remember seeing all the stuff I saw on wrestling and seeing how it was really done. Man, I was crushed. Kids back then freak out over Santa not being real (or at least the did when I was growing up) and that didn't phase me, but finding out wrestling was fake. I was fucking gutted. I stopped watching wrestling for years after I saw that. Only to come back during the attitude era, but by that time, it's like getting back together with a partner after a very nasty breakup. It just wasn't the same. I enjoyed that era but that was it. I got out of wrestling again after the Attitude Era. Now I enjoy the shoots and podcasts from the wrestlers I used to watch to get a behind the scenes look at what went on then. These days, wrestling today isn't for me and that's cool. Took a long time for me to mend those "wounds" lol.
Something that most people don't understand is that many wrestlers don't actually reherse. Some like Randy Savage, and Hulk Hogan liked to write out entire matches move by move, but most wrestlers improvise the entire match, except for the ending. They will use hand signals and body language to call move by move, and some will use rest holds like headlocks to give themselves time to discuss the match.
I've been to a couple shows, and occasionally when a wrestler was slammed, the impact would play through the subs. There's no way they don't have mics under there. Either they're placed under certain parts which is why some parts are louder than the others, or they turn up the mics during select falls. That or the ring influences what gets picked up and what doesn't. Either way, there's definitely mics under there.
now i know why the attitude era and even the old school era is better than todays WWE era in building up stories and kayfabe. old WWE give those wrestle their persona and its up to the wrestler how they sell it and it paved the way of the superstars like the Rock, Undertaker, Kane, Stone Cold and hell even Doink the Clown
It may be fake, but they got real skills. Doing all those stuffs without causing injuries to the opponent takes skills and control....
fake is a poor word for wrestling. They really should use words like "staged" or rehearsed, planned, scripted, etc. The action may be preplanned and the outcomes scripted. Many of the moves are staged but there is definitely real risk involved in many of their moves.. especially top rope stunts and pile drivers.
Shadow Productions Performed is probably a better word.

@@officialgazj $9.99 for the wrestling network. He wanted Cole to continuously mention its price over and over so people would buy it
WWE needs to go back to the "old school" promo styles, adding more spice to the promo ultimately.
Paul Genua They need to go back to old school everything not this entertainment trash
I agree. Promos these days suck. Makes me miss the old Rock, Y2J, and even the Macho Man promos from back in the day.
the guys these days have absolutely no character...
they should give them bullet points maybe they want to be in there and let the wrestler make it his own, not everyone can talk well lol

Another example of the X being thrown up was on Jeff Hardy at his match with Sting cause he was loaded as hell (TNA I know but an example none the less).
awadofpaper sting legit wanted to kick his teeth in. It was cringe and Jeff was unprofessional that night robbed the crowd of what could of been a great match glad he's clean now

It was a great show with him.
He was so great at what he did, it's unbelievable.
Exactly, cuz when have you EVER seen Ric Flair land flat on his back?
Just needed a vacation

I always wondered how matches never ever ended during a commercial break..
Chris Benoit vs. Snitsky: Raw, June 6, 2005 did. Others also did.

"Fucking amateurs!" says Binston of his opponent and his trainers. And now he has problems getting any work wrestling. He's too hard for the wrestling scene.
Binston. What a legend!
He got me with the hair dryer.
I liked the crowd noise and Vinnie Mac screaming in Michael Cole's headset. great stuff !
great video dude
That last part about crowd noise was the PERFECT time for Gillberg! His debut you can hear Gillberg but almost everyone was looking not chanting.
Should also point out that Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels iron man match was also rehearsed beforehand.
eternal60214 theyre ALL rehearsed before hand you dolt
i used to watch wwf/wwe as a kid (haven't now for maybe 11 years), but nowadays what happens behind the scenes i find way more interesting.
It's sad that everything is scripted. It explains a lot. I bet it feels much better to create a character that is purely you. Who better to act the part that you yourself created? This is why we had such great characters like The Rock and Austin back in the day. They got to do what they felt was good, and it was. It sounds soul crushing to have someone dictate every single word you say.
I like the Attitude Era the most. The 90's to early 2000's was the best in my opinion.
It's still real to me, damnit !!!! :)
You son of a b*tch. Copying this comment for likes you a**hole
I am really miss old wwe so nostalgia
*"AND BRING ME ANOTHER BOTTLE OF KETCHUP DAMMT!"*

5:47 I thought he was going to say "slips into a coma" 😂
Piping in crowd noise is so horrendous and blatant. The "hair dryer" pop is hilarious. They have used it for over 10 years and it's so cringingly obvious when they do it.
Every now and then I have a conversation with a non-wrestling fan and it goes like this "Wrestling's fake, its all pre-planned, blah blah" and I say "You think those 60,000 fans at Wrestlemania dont know that"?
So all these years, DX have been calling for medics all along.
Calling them down to their crotches...yup.
It always pains me watching a man cower to another man.
One of the best channels related to wrestling & wwe..deserves way more subscribers..keep going👍
I stunnered my grandma once
Another awesome vid m8 I love watching your vids 😊
9:15 ive been curious about that my whoooole childhood lol
Nice intro love your channel mate
I remember Ric Flair wearing his suit and in the ring on WCW getting real worked up in one of his famous rants, then suddenly he fell back in the corner clutching his chest.I thought for sure he was going to die.
By the way, I've known wrazzlin was "fake" since the early 1960's when the Shiek or Larry Chane or Dick the Bruiser would make Crybaby McCarthy cry or Percival Pringle would get mad over his hair getting messed up.
The Sheikh was Awesome in those days working himself up strutting around the ring looking wild eyed. Pampero Firpo was awesome. Today is more technical and extreme....and scripted. Bull Curry, Haystack, Numb Skull Nuremberg, and of course Bobo Brazil, the good ol dayz.
Cobo Arena, mid 70's. Bruiser had Indanapolis, Shiek had Detroit. Back when promoters worked with each other for the benefit of all. Bobby Heenan got his start with these guys in this era. Started as a wrestler. Was mentored by Eddie "The Brain" Creechman to take over as Shiek's manager when Eddie retired. The whole "Brain" and "Weasel" shtick came from Eddie.
Angelo and Lanny Poffo, surprised to not see Randy Poffo (Savage). In Detroit the annoucers Lord Athol Layton, and Chuck Allen. Lord Layton was about 6' 8" , taller than Bobo. He towered over the Shiek when "he had enough, and took matters into his own hands"!!! Fun nights.
Always enjoy your videos Thanks.
All the hair dryer pops came from the time stone cold returned. Oh you didn't know? Well its time to play the game cause you got no chance no chance in hell to smell what the rock is cookin.
Dawg Please stop your show.... Lol.
Good use of the wrestlers' catchphrases!!!!!
love it .. keep it coming .. i love these behind the scene ones
The ref just wants to join DX !!
I've been waiting for this video for a long time
wait, so your saying all those crowd cheers was just a blow dryer? Genius, and slightly disappointing
shoots and wrestling vids like these are more entertaining than actual current wwe matches
Scripted promos are one of the reasons why wrestling sucks so bad today.
THat last bit about the false crowd noise could have been useful during the stint in 2020 when the WWE was in the performance center or during the 2014 Royal Rumble match cause dear lord the last twenty minutes of that match oh boy dead silence.
Vince replying to cole: listen Micheal if you don't shut up and do as I say I'll bring heidenreich and make him your new broadcast partners
Wow. I've been watching wrestling since 1979 and I didn't know a couple of these. Well done!
I would never cut myself with a blade
If they paid you milion of dollars, i think you would be the one to cut your self out.
Airtrck96 6 no one make a million...
Shawn Michaels is now
You must be very hairy then

Man, I remember when I was a kid and I was a die-hard wrestling fan. Way back in the days of Jimmy Snuka, Coco Beware, and others. Anyhoo, I swore up and down that wrestling was real. I saw a tv program that "exposed" wrestling secrets. I remember seeing all the stuff I saw on wrestling and seeing how it was really done.
Man, I was crushed. Kids back then freak out over Santa not being real (or at least the did when I was growing up) and that didn't phase me, but finding out wrestling was fake. I was fucking gutted. I stopped watching wrestling for years after I saw that. Only to come back during the attitude era, but by that time, it's like getting back together with a partner after a very nasty breakup. It just wasn't the same. I enjoyed that era but that was it. I got out of wrestling again after the Attitude Era.
Now I enjoy the shoots and podcasts from the wrestlers I used to watch to get a behind the scenes look at what went on then. These days, wrestling today isn't for me and that's cool. Took a long time for me to mend those "wounds" lol.
6:21 at the bottom does that say Steve O?
Yes, yes it does.
Yep
Michael Cole: "Do you really want me to say 'oh my!' after every single spot?"... And the rest is history.
The kid in me doesn't want to believe any of this, but the adult in me has to accept it :)
That hair dryer pop sounds like a legit crowd to me when listening, but afterwards all I can hear in my head is a hair dryer 😒
I like how you showed the worlds dirtiest, nastiest razor blade during the blading segment. Some idiot ms probably got tetanus after watching this
Something that most people don't understand is that many wrestlers don't actually reherse. Some like Randy Savage, and Hulk Hogan liked to write out entire matches move by move, but most wrestlers improvise the entire match, except for the ending.
They will use hand signals and body language to call move by move, and some will use rest holds like headlocks to give themselves time to discuss the match.
Anyone have proof hat they put mics on the ring so make the falls sound louder??
C That isnt even necessary, rings are pretty loud in nature
I've been to a couple shows, and occasionally when a wrestler was slammed, the impact would play through the subs. There's no way they don't have mics under there. Either they're placed under certain parts which is why some parts are louder than the others, or they turn up the mics during select falls. That or the ring influences what gets picked up and what doesn't. Either way, there's definitely mics under there.
Keanu Il Magnifico thanks for this
I love wwe from childhood I remember when I play we smack vs raw on ps2 that was awesome mémoires
Man, I want to be 15 again and get fooled by this stuff again :D
now i know why the attitude era and even the old school era is better than todays WWE era in building up stories and kayfabe. old WWE give those wrestle their persona and its up to the wrestler how they sell it and it paved the way of the superstars like the Rock, Undertaker, Kane, Stone Cold and hell even Doink the Clown
EXACTLY
