Reacting To WRESTLING CONSPIRACY THEORIES 

I like the idea of that.

I read somewhere that it was from the Attitude Era onwards that they're actors. Like, the commentator Vince is the real Vince and that the one getting hit by stunners by SCSA was a stunt double. Like it was a way to Vince to capitalize from the heat from the Screwjob without taking real risks.

That might be the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard in my entire life… Vince McMahon went to court on drug charges. So you think that the us government isn’t only compliant but such a part of the wrestling fabric and this conspiracy that they fake charged an actor and brought him to court, costing them millions in taxpayer money? Stop smoking angel dust.

From what I remember (being old) and from looking at old Observers, HBK was really injured. Now, the reality was, by "wrestling standards", he was probably good to go to come back by 1999 or whatever, but he didn't want come back and play 2nd or 3rd fiddle to an Austin or Rock, plus he had legitimate substance issues (leading to him famously being sent home because he was in no condition to preform in 2000/2001 when they were teasing a comeback for the first time). Then, I think it's a combination of a lack of options + getting clean and sober + being fully recovered by normal human standards that led him to come back.

Similar rumor, but I've always heard in the IWC that HBK was never really that injured. I remember someone showed the casket match clip and shown in show motion his back actually didn't land square on it. He left because he was livid because he wasn't the top guy and took his ball home like he did when he wasn't drawing well in the 90s with losing his smile.

I don't believe that because there is no way that 90's Shawn would miss the biggest boom period in Wrestling history. He would easily have had a few more title reigns and main evented during that time.

@@TheDarkVampire666 I think that was why he became a commissioner. He got the billing he wanted. The issue was buy rates and tv ratings for Shawn. He wasn't a good draw and wouldn't be able to outsell HHH, Rock, or Austin for the bulk of that run.

I think Shawn was very injured, but it wasn’t 4 years out of wrestling injured, if you know what I mean. He hit the back of that casket hard! And I’m sure he has back pains to this very day.

I think that was really cool how that just naturally aligned 👍

This has been proven to be false many times over. Case closed. 😂

The ads are pre-recorded. How do people not understand this?

Isn’t that fact?

​@@thesprock5270no it was never said or mentioned by anyone who worked at WWE that it was an accident

@@anijeepa What? I could’ve swore I saw Sheamus interviewed in a documentary where he admitted it was an accident.

I just looked at the match, and it absolutely wasn't an accident. Cena looks back right before he jumps off to make sure he lands properly, the only thing is it looks like Sheamus didn't shove him at all because he lost his balance. You can look at it and tell it was supposed to play out as Sheamus unceremoniously pushing Cena through the table to a shocked reaction, because it's literally the only way they could've made the finish believeable for Cena to lose to a rookie and to give Sheamus the win in a sorta heelish way.

Now that is hilarious

No no the pasta had the actual Mick Foley burning alive and they replaced him, I Buried Paul style.

Where to even start with this crap - absolute BULL as Rock was literally off doing movies straight after Mania and only came back due to ''Invasion'' tanking. Also complete crap , Meltzer confirmed sumnmer feud was supposed to be two man power trip vs Benoit & Jericho. Also ''the invasion'' started at KOTR & next night on Raw

@LaurenWeir739 hence the conspiracy theory. Plus your using Meltzer who is notorious for getting wwe/f reports wrong. Hhh tears quad 5/21/01 Lance storm attacks on 5/28/01 - this was often considered the major start of the invasion Again the tikel8ne of contracts coming up late 01/early 02 lends to the theory Also chill

i thought that was confirmed that he dropped the title due to it changing to nxt 2.0?

Facts!

My response to that is Judy Bagwell on a pole match

I've heard a different variation of this. Heard he leaked it to a sports journalist a tad bit prior and when word got to Vince he was furious and scrapped the whole thing

This is so true lol

There's been conspiracies where thousands of people were involved, and it didn't come to light for decades and decades. In sweden, forced sterilization of people who were sick (mentally ill, migraines, homosexual, bizexuals, transpeople, people.with cerebral pulsey etc etc) was officially closed down in 1976. Yet, thousands of people knew that doctors were continuing forced sterilization without patients knowing, up until 1996 and the last forced sterilization in 2013. In 1996, it came out that several thousand people had kept quiet about it. Similar things have happened in many countries, with different things. There are different things that keep people from speaking out, especially if the responsible part has more power than the individual people who know about it. Also, many sign agreements, forcing them to keep quiet. The theory that all conspiracies involving more than two people always gets out, is a way get people to think conspiracies are not a common thing. Conspiracies happens all the time, from state level down to drama between friend-groups. 😊✌️

Not even close, and whenever people say this I can't help but question their character. Look into the sinking of the Lusitania.

I could see that when McMahon heard that Russo was quitting and going to WCW he knew he'd screw it up so he didn't try to stop it

Good point.

Lol Paul is such a carny and is working almost 24/7.

I 100% remember mfers trying to say KEVIN FUCKING SULLIVAN did the murders and framed Chris.

@@mockery_finnpeople still think this to this day

I remember someone saying “He fucked with the local Hell’s Angels or owed someone some serious money and hits were put out and made to look like a suicide” Pretty wild the shit people believe

I remember mad years ago, i saw either a reddit post or tumblr post where someone said it was a mob hit. That allegedly he owed the mob for some substances he was taking. Then i remember reading further down and people were saying it was actually Nancy who owed the mob cause she was the addict and they found apparently a whole pharmacy in her system.

Same, that's what I thought, too...Even in the modern day, that theory won't die...

Utter , utter mark. Taker & Dallas Page are real life friends you idiot

you need help

I think that probably has to do with him being booked as the son of Andre in WCW when he was The Giant.

Facts!! Been saying this for years!

Cenas vaporizer is called HGH 😂

Uhhhh shawn michaels is universally regarded as the greatest 1980-forward pro rassler who ever lived, alongside Dynamite Kid. That’s why he got pushed, d!ngus 🥴🤤

@@marcbasil I didn't say it was true, just a conspiracy theory that's pretty common.

lmaooooo

Not Andre’s kid?

I remember the Kain being two people rumor; look at him during the Attitude Era (tall and lanky, one shoulder lower than the other), then fast forward to Ruthless Aggression (noticeably bulkier, a few inches shorter,.both shoulders aligned)

I'm curious as well lol

Have you seen Vinces work for Lawler in Memphis in the early 90s? It's essentially proto Mr McMahon.

Also people can say whatever, but I believe Bret indirectly told people it was a work. He was asked about it Aus a convention and his paraphrased answer was "I wish it was all a work. I wish we could've done that then came back 20 years later as an old man and had a match with Vince" etc and what happened? Hmm.
