Wrestling facts you didn't want to believe

[themule]

Were there any wrestling discoveries that you were disappointed in and tried to ignore?

Mine was kanes identity being revealed. When kane debuted I thought he looked absolutely awesome since I didn't know who he was right off the bat I assumed he was a new guy.
Later on I started hearing people say it was isaac yankem but I shrugged it off, I didn't want to believe this awesome killing machine used to be a goofy dentist!

Akira Tozawa abusing animals, lol.

[TGM]

Chris Benoit murdering his family.

[Johnny B. Decent]

It sucks to know my favorite wrestler, Steve Austin, was a domestic abuser.

For me, I was hoping that if I forgot Hernandez was in Lucha Underground, he'd somehow not appear No dice, but thankfully his stay was brief.

Yeah, I always knew that the situation happened, but had long forgotten who the guys involved were until a few months ago. It's kinda put a dark cloud over his work for me since.

Hulk Hogan racist

Wrestling is fake

The way Macho Man died. It just seems horrifying. A heart attack causing you to get into a car accident.

I mean seriously Death, one or the other wasn't enough?

[Milkman Norm]

I don't get this. Why wouldn't I want to believe things that have been verified as real and true?

[MolotovMocktail]

I always wanted to find some way to believe Snuka, that Nancy drunkenly hit her head on a rock.

Wasn't he removed from the list of guys found abusing that monkey?

Not to my knowledge. The nicest thing that I can remember was that he was more just tagging along with it all rather than being one of the main guys, which really isn't an improvement at all.

I may be choosing to remember it with rose-tinted glasses.

We had a pretty f***ed up thread about the incident... it was this big ass thing in dragon gate (I think?) if anybody wants to track down the stories.
There was video at some point. This isn't a rabbit hole to go down and come out feeling good from. Pretty hardcore pet monkey abuse at the training dojo.

Yeah, it's a sickening situation. All of it pretty much took place over Dragongate's own website too, because every wrestler had a blog and the main guy behind it kept posting about it. If I remember correctly, another wrestler had to alert the company about what was going on.

Serious drug abuse by dozens of wrestlers that I've been a fan of. I'm not going to call anyone out but it is depressing. I wish only the best of health to the people that risk their lives to entertain us and it hurts whenever I find out someone is potentially destroying themselves through hardcore drug abuse. I've run into some messed up individuals over the years and I know there's nothing I can really do to help. I just hope that they want to change and better themselves. Otherwise they won't. I don't exactly choose to ignore it but it hurts to think about. I also grew up around an entire family of abusive alcoholics so I guess it hits me a bit harder.

Andre's real height.

[Deleted]

This thread got dark really fast.

O.p's example was that he was disappointed that Kane was really a dentist and you guys come in with real life murder and animal abuse lmao

And finding out about it through leaked footage from his sex tape. It would be one thing if it all came out at once. But no, first there was a sex tape and then much later Gawker released the racist after credits scene.
