@@j.t.a5395dude there’s so much move stealing/ aspect stealing that happened in the 80s/90s/2000s. So yes some wrestlers would just say they though of it one day instead of showing respect

My dad hated WWE when I was a kid until we watched it live one day. Mysterios performance made him a fan.

[@visualizeme-tz3ng]

[@TheInfamousTub]

Mysterio was awesome later on in wwe but what made me a fan was him, Billy Kidman and all the other guys in wcw’s cruiserweight division. It was so underrated and overlooked because of the nwo shit

[@krygerm]

I hated when the fakeness became too obvious, back in the wwf days it was debated wether it was fake or not thats why it was so good because no1 could tell for sure but now its known that wwe is fake af and scripted which took the fun out of it for me

[@harleyjo4875]

@@krygermhahaha dude you were just a kid, that’s why it felt so real. Adults always knew it was fake, since day one. I mean, obviously the stunts and athleticism is real, but it’s ALWAYS been about showmanship over actual athletic prowess. Go sit in your nostalgia somewhere else, but you don’t need to shit on it all because you found out Santa wasn’t real.

[@ShadowRulah]

@@krygerm Wrestling fans have always been divided between marks who think or try to think that it's real and the guys who appreciate the show. You can appreciate stunts, props, and showmanship even when you know there's no actual fighting.

[@Sevicify]

He actually used to regularly so it as a fake out back in WCW usually when going into the ropes, sometimes combining in to some other move if the opponent was nearby. He has also used it as a dive fake out too, both in WCW and WWE. As far as I know he didn't start using as an actual offensive move kicking an opponent kneeling on the ropes until he went to WWE.
