I just had someone tell me that Cody Rhodes wasn’t Dusty Rhodes’ son. Kevin Owens is. Because he said Kevin looks more like Dusty. I’d try to argue it, but it would be in vain. Like if I pointed out Cody being Dusty’s son has been a major plot point he’d say, “Well that’s going to be the storyline twist.”
Also, another guy once told me it’s a shame Jeff Jarrett doesn’t wrestle anymore. Instead he got into porn. I wonder what he thought when Jarrett first popped up in AEW.

I recall a lapsed-fan schoolmate of mine insisted Eddie Guerrero's passing was a work and could not be convinced otherwise. It marks the only time one of these conversations irritated me. We haven't spoke for over a decade but am curious if said schoolmate still sits there thinking "any day now..."

There was a surprising amount of people who thought that Owen Hart dying was just a storyline at the time. I specifically remember people in school saying this.
My parents saw a lot of early-mid 2000s wrestling due to me being a big fan as a kid and them obviously being in the same room a lot of the time I was watching so their knowledge of wrestling is mostly from that period. Every year or two whenever the subject of wrestling came up my dad would always ask if Undertaker was still wrestling and would be flabbergasted when I said he was and laugh at how old he must be. He also always thought Undertaker and Kane were real life brothers no matter how many times I told him they weren't.
My nephew thought that when wrestlers left WWE they basically retired or stopped existing. We were playing 2K22 a couple of months ago and he wondered why Sasha hasn't been around lately and I explained that she left the company was going to debut in another company called AEW (this must have been around early Jan when that seemed guaranteed). His mind was blown that there was another company. I showed him some AEW clips on Youtube and he ended up not being interested except for one person he loved: Darby Allin. Now pretty often he'll randomly ask me "do you think Darby Allin's cool?" To give you an idea of what he considers cool though, he thinks Cody's neck tattoo is the greatest thing ever. I always make fun of it to egg him on and he'll defend it till the end talking about how cool it looks.
My grandad would always ask "whatever happened to that older wrestler with the white hair? He was a good wrestler back in the day." It was always Ric Flair he was talking about but he would never remember his name.

At my St. Patrick's day party last night, I had both Sheamus theme songs on my music playlist. A non-fan (who hates wrestling) said "This should be that red haired guys theme song on wrestling" when some Irish drinking song came on. I said just wait, his songs are coming up.
When they did eventually play, she hated "Lobsterhead" but absolutely loved his second (current) instrumental. Like, went out of her way to say what a great song it was. I love both themes but this really caught me off guard.
