For twelve years, you have been asking: Who is John Galt? This is John Galt speaking. I am the man who loves his life. I am the man who does not sacrifice his love or his values. I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are peris

What was that 90s show that was like American Gladiators but had wrestling style storylines? I just remembered that because of this thread.

This was sort of notorious for a long time as a hack job, hit piece, scammy/scummy bit of insider info on wrestling that NBC aired, but just watching the intro it feels like, "Yeah, and these comments don't even feel like an open secret anymore. Is anyone even pissed off at this, still?"

Feels like "Wrasslin's not real" was more of a thing when it was the circuits and house shows and you knew that Johnny Nasty didn't *really* steal Trucker Joe's wife and today Joe would get his revenge, and also they were pulling punches and putting on a show for 12 minutes.

WWF SatAM era felt more like "OK we know the clown isn't really a homicidal ex-circus man, and his tag team partner really isn't a voodoo priest, but they really do kind of kick and throw each other"

With wrestlers growing beyond their ring personas into actors and whatnot, it's obviously harder to keep the showbiz illusion going.

dude I hope you can help me, I remember watching a callout between The Doinks and some other group of wrestlers. All I recall from it was one of the anti-Doinks sitting with a skull and chanting 'doink' over it.

The '90s were a real weird time to be watching WWF. Doinks all over the place. What did you need help with again?
