A kid in my class had the last name Hart. He managed to convince everyone Bret and Owen were his uncles. I knew way too much about stuff like this and WWF had printed a long profile on the Harts in their magazine. Including who married who and so on and their names. I was the one who was told I was incorrect.
WWF had a guy who looked exactly like Hogan ready to go because Hogan was going to die at any moment from old age. This would be like 92ish.
Hulk and Brutus were brothers, Warrior and Texas Tornado were brothers.
I dunno if this is even a lie, it's totally possible it's true, but I'll always remember it....."Smash once farted on Akeem's head".

After the Vince McMahon limo explosion, one of my friends flat out said that Vince was dead. I had to tell him that it was all just a story. was your friend one of the shareholders who freaked out because they thought it was real? I remember WWE had to make an announcement about how Vince was alive and well and it was just the Mr. McMahon character who was dead. even before Benoit did what he did, that story was probably going to get pulled anyway. some idiot at USA thought it was a good idea.

Also, another story was when a kid in my class told me all wrestlers have to be good at math because they solve problems in order to do moves. For example, he said Rock would say "what's two plus two" and his opponent has to answer in order to complete the move sequence. I love this whole thread but I think this is my favourite. How did this kid even suggest that it worked? Does 4 = clothesline or something? The only amusing thing I can remember was a friend at school telling me that a referee had caught Hulk Hogan and Ultimate Warrior backstage taking 'orange flavour drugs'. I don't know what they were taking them for but they sound delicious.

"The WWF is fake, but WCW is real." somewhat along these lines, ECW was real but wwf and wcw was fake. guys in wwf didn't do steroids because they drug tested, but 100% of the wcw roster were on steroids.

"Hulk Hogan is dying from Steroid use"-granted, this was around the time Lyle Alzado died, and hogan DID do roids, but considering hogan is still around and healthy in 2013,,

I don't know what they were taking them for but they sound delicious. I think the reasoning behind this kids idea was because I was ( and still am ) bad at math, and I was going through my "I want to be a wrestler"phase. Thus, he could try to crush my dreams with this lame belief. This kid also cried at my 4th grade birthday party because I got a Playststion and he wanted to be the only kid in my class with one (everyone else had an N64). In addition to that, he told everyone his mom was abducted by aliens while she was pregnant with him. He said he took photos, but the film didn't develop. Yes, he claimed to have taken photos of aliens while he was still a fetus.

That Iron Sheik got fired from the WWF because he took tons of steroids and then tried to cripple hulk hogan. In all fairness, this isn't a million miles from one or two supposed truths. By far the most obscure one I heard was that Hulk Hogan hid his steroids in his bandana. Even as an eleven-year-old I found myself wondering how and why.

Gagne offered Shiek, what $10 grand to break Hogan's legs and come to the AWA with the WWF title. Shiek told Vince and that's why Shiek will always be used by Vince.

Referees carry condoms or balloons full of fake blood/green mist.
Although I think that's actually partly true.

My best friend in middle school claimed that he once saw Stephanie McMahon topless at a WWF house show. He claimed that she was in some women's match that involved her shirt getting wet with water, and that after the match, Stephanie took off her shirt AND bra right there in the middle of the ring.
