re: #174 WindUpBird

So you’re saying you believe, to put it in pro-wrestling kayfabe terms, that it’s not a shoot (a real rivaly, the wrestlers hate each other) it’s a work (it’s a fake conflict played for the audiences, the wrestlers are friends) ?

Interesting as well!

Whatever else is true, Rush is a heel (wrestler playing the villain) both in front of the cameras and in real life.

Unrelated: The most memorable shoot I saw was Brett Hart vs. Jerry Lawler. After Lawler made a group of nasty cracks about Toronto’s Hospital for Sick Children, Hatt stormed out to the announcer’s box and publicly called Lawler “lower than shit!”. The resulting match was choreographed, but Hart’s anger was real.
