Since I'm now a next day Hulu RAW watcher, is the Sting stuff just the video game ad?

You can doubt all you want. It was of general interest even during the Frank Gotch era. Really? People were concerned with the backstage booking back then? Really? No one cared about it ever as soon as everyone knew it was fake. Not one person was watching the Dumont Network and thinking "I wonder why Rikki Star isn't being pushed more, and that Antonina Rocca must have friends in the office". -

Do the Briscoes still use "Gimme Back My Bullets" as entrance music ? Cause that always ruled. -
I'd credit the team not one guy. Who watches a wrestling show based solely on who's on top? It's a TV show, the supporting cast and quality of the entire show are just as important, if not more important ,as who the top guy is Johnny Sorrow seyz: There are no draws. Now tackle "Workrate dogmatism." I can't get that to sink in yet. edit: Never mind, it was true,, but mean. Answer the question. Has there ever been a wrestling show you watched or didn't watch based only on who he top guy was?

And I still never heard of these people , What "public" is Dave going on about? The evening news isn't ever talking about fake wrestling OR "real" wrestling / UFC.

Who the fuck is Chris Weidman? And what public is this?

I was just at a house show last week and I met ONE dude who was a fan like me. I complimented his Steen and Generico shirt and started up a convo. He looks at his friend and explains that he was trying to explain the idea of "smart fan" to him and the friend was all, " What?" He showed me to him saying " See, this is what I was trying to explain to you ". Everyone else I saw were either kids who thought it was real, fans who know it's fake but had NO IDEA about booking or anything of the sort , and parents of the kids booing and cheering to have a good time and enjoy the show. Shit I almost got in a fight with two twenty something's because I was cheering Del Rio. -

Very few back then. I'm doubting there were lots of people giving a shit about the inner workings of Pro Wrestling during the Depression, World War Two, and Happy Days. -
Haha, I made pretty much the same joke to the boys on FB.

Wasn't it called Victory? It was the program you bought at shows and there'd be a loose mimeographed page with the night's card tucked in.

I hate it Wrestler X is actually pushed down our throats. Why can't it be Wrestler Y? Wrestler KY goes down smooth. -

All I hear when someone says that is Billy Batts telling Tommy to go get his fucking shine box. Haha, me too, no shit. -

I still say good guys and bad guys, with no sense of irony. It's how I grew up. I even hated it when the Apter Mags used "Scientific Wrestler " and "Rulebreaker". -

I find "shine" racially offensive since I'm old. -

I love that most wrestlers will most likely plan out a match backstage by just saying "Ok so then you do your bullshit, I'll do my bullshit, yada yada, then we'll go home." -
What I'm saying is that no one was really advertised for this show I was at. At the end of the day it was "COME SEE THE WWE!" I saw Cena vs Del Rio at a house show here 4 years ago that didn't sell out and wasn't advertised either. It's all "COME SEE WWE!" But if they play the Pepsi Center they sell out. So how can we accurately judge what wrestler draws based on who's actually there? Cena drew people to the show I was at and he wasn't even advertised. I've been to shows where people thought Rey was gonna be there based on the fact that he works for WWE. By the way, the house show I saw Saturday? The Rollins/ Ambrose match was amazing and Shaemus/ Del Rio LMS was fucking awesome. And Big E is super over with the kids.
