Honestly, quite soon after I got into it. I started through video games, couldn't get it on TV then....so I looked at loads of sites. Reading about "Storylines" and "5 Moves Of Doom" on Obsessedwithwrestling did it for me. I still enjoy it, and I can appreciate how the guys do it, it adds another level of enjoyment to it.

Really I knew it was scripted because my parents told me it was. But they figured it out by watching the Hogan/Andre match at WMIII in slow motion.

Everyone in my family kept telling me it was a work I found out they were right when I was 8 years old looking up wrestling online

When my cousin told me it was, but was still hard to believe, what made me think was real before? When Harry smith (yeah he was in my 1st to 3rd grade class) always said it was real and because he was the son of a wrestler, it must have been real in my 3rd grade eyes.

My dad told me when I was young. I didn't really care, since I almost never watched it (I didn't like the guys like Jake Roberts, Ted DiBiase, and Brutus Beefcake, who would pick on their opponents after beating them).
Years later, I was at a friend's house when he was watching wrestling. It showed highlights of the Papa Shango-Ultimate Warrior feud, and then the Ultimate Warrior started vomiting everywhere. If I hadn't already been convinced that it wasn't real, the voodoo angle would have been more than enough.

First time I saw an Irish Whip, it's weird something so fundamental is so obviously fake. In WCW Scott Hall was once Irish Whipped in the parking lot and took off running for like, ever.......Hilarious. I always knew. My parents made damn sure I knew it wasn't a real fight....not sure why, but they did.

Kind of from the beginning, honestly. I mean, when I was really, really little I bought it, but once I'd gotten old enough to really use critical though (five or six, I guess), I knew that the way they acted in the ring was unlike the way anyone else in any other sport acted. The facial expressions, broad movements, pauses, etc. gave it away to me at a relatively young age. I knew that football players or boxers or whoever else looked way more real than wrestlers did.

my dad told me when i was young that they are all friends backstage. but i guess that was to stop me being too upset since i started watching when i was about 2 lol.
then i still thought the matches were real up until i was about 7. lots of people were saying it was fake but i still loved it.
then needing co-operation to do moves with my friends definitely prooved that.
id still get deeply invested in some storylines and matches, though up untill i was about 14.
being smartened up to the business alot when i was 15 affected that, aswell as not many of my mark out wrestlers from childhood were doing much anymore.
still had a different love for the business since then though

WrestleMania VII. After Hogan was hit with a steel chair, you can clearly see him cut above his eye, drop the razor, and a few seconds later the ref picks it up and puts it in his pocket.
