Q7kid posted:I went to a WWF TV taping with my dad. I believe it was the September 2, 1992 taping in Landover, MD. I was 6 and gushing over the action with little-kid markish excitement. I don't remember what I specifically said to produce his reaction, but my dad chuckled and said, "you know this stuff's fake, right?" I tried to deny it or rationalize how he was wrong at first, but I quickly started to think about things I'd brushed off before--whiffed strikes, dodgy spots--and came to the conclusion over the course of the evening that he must be right. I had the inverse of this. I had pretty much intuited that it was fake and enjoyed it anyway, and my dad hated that I liked it and made me sit down with him to watch that Secrets of Pro-Wrestling Exposed special so he could show me how fake and stupid it was, and upon learning about things like bumping and blading he wound up being shocked into vague respect by how much less fake it was than he thought. He wound up taking me to a few shows and he had fun, but he never liked the wrestling as much as getting to chant "rear end in a top hat" with thousands of people.
