I recognized a gimmick repackage. Demolition was my favorite tag team for a while, and then they quietly disappeared. I had seen Repo Man on TV, but he was always doing this whole sneaky laughing thing in-character. Then at a house show I heard him yell "I'm gonna kick yer stinkin' teeth in!" at an opponent, which was a staple of his Smash persona, and I realized it was the same guy. But what's he doing out of his weird bondage gear and face paint? Why is he repossessing cars now? He was just a dude straight out of Thunderdome and now he's got a day job.

Barry Darsow ruined MY IMMERSION. :qq:

I wonder how many kids had kayfabe broken for them by going to a Smackdown tapping and seeing a match redone.

I've posted about this before, but back when Raw was taped I went to a taping where they did Adam Bomb vs Kwang THREE TIMES, same exact ending. I don't know why they needed to do the first reshoot (a botch maybe) but the third match was probably because for the entire second match Adam Bomb noticeably had Kwang's mist on his singlet from the first match, and Kwang never actually spit it at him until the end.

Haha, I totally remember the old "ECW is real, everything else is fake" arguments.
