That winning and losing "myth" even got people who became quite famous wrestlers, even close before they started to become a wrestler. Like Chirs Jericho said that he figured out that it's scripted who gets over, but if it comes to the championship matches he thought they are legit. So a pro wrestler had to tell him, when Jericho was the greenest greenhorn, that also the outcome of a championship match is scripted. And he was like "WTF?!" 🤣

The canned heat goes the other way too. They control all crowd noise.

When I say as loud as I could, I mean my voice rang out through the entire arena, and the match was a tag match with MNM, and Melina at ringside actually turned to look when I did it. I watched the replay, found the point where Melina turned away from the ring to look, and no shout. It was just the same standard generic audience noise droning on like always during the live broadcast. They'd dubbed me out.

It's amazing how things have turned around for WWE. They've actually been dampening crowd noise for overseas shows lately. I was at Clash for example, and I can assure you the crowd did not politely quiet down so we could hear the ring announcers. Watching the show back the next day was kinda funny. There are multiple times that they dampen the crowd either so the commentators or announcer can be heard. Can only assume they did the same in Lyon, cos that crowd was nuts.

I got thinking. When you said about pay increase for high risk matches. Those matches would never be the first or second match on the card. Those are usually highlights of the night, even if they’re not the headliner. Therefore those talent would be getting paid well already, and then they have that “incentive” I also agree with you about WWE in this case not so much worried about your well-being but rather “their investment” as you put it (I like that actually). I worked construction for over 18 years, and although the risks are very real, and is a physically demanding job, our boss wasn’t a bad guy, but you knew in his eyes, if you couldn’t be there, wether sick or hurt, he wanted you to get better, because he needed you back to work And about the developmental territories, I feel that was a “fair” way to keep you working, and to temporarily “demote you”, so you can improve, instead of just firing you. That’s actually, to me anyways, is pretty good of WWE. (I want to call the developmental territories, the “farm league”, that the Canadian hockey fan in me, sorry Maven)

That triple threat tag match from 2001 was by far one of the craziest and best matches of all time.

The closest thing to "Do wins & losses affect pay?" being true would probably be the Winner's Purse, which I believe is still 100% a real thing in pro wrestling. Sure, it's all pre-determined, but giving the winner of a match a little extra money is still a reliable way for the booker to say "I'm putting my faith in you, & I'm even putting down extra money to prove it, so prove to me that you're worth it".

Ages and ages back we were at a live show (it was Mean Gene in the ring, that tells you how long back!). Before the show went on the air, he got us all to chant a few things - "Scary Sheri" and "Macho! Macho!" are two I remember. Don't know where they used them though because I was watching live, not at home.

This is a very cool video as always, it's very enlightening to get some "inside info" from a former pro. However, I didn't think the crowd noise thing was much of a secret, let alone a myth - I think it was pretty much common knowledge. At the latest after 2015 and 2016 when WWE tried to force-push Roman Reigns as the top guy, because the TV showed him getting cheered while both reports and videos from fans in attendance proved he was mostly booed. I think this is also a reason why they mostly stopped doing it (at least this extremely) today, because with the internet and social media, it gets pretty pathetic very quickly. However I'm sure they still boost (or reduce) crowd noise to augment the experience. They even started referencing this in some fourth-wall-breaking segments, I remember both Kevin Owens and Triple H at some points referencing this when talking about the boos Dom Mysterio gets - both said stuff along the lines of "I thought the noise was enhanced, but it's actually not" (and people in attendance also reported this). At this point, can we also take a second to mention that Dom Mysterio has turned heel while already being heel, therefore making him (and his moustache) heel²? I think it is rather remarkable how he pulled that off, all while having a moustache.

Yours is my favorite non-federation-associated wrestling channel on KZbin. You're the only one I've seen who isn't out there bashing the competition for whom you never worked. I used to subscribe to a bunch of wrestler's channels, but you're the only one I watch anymore.
