Wrestler assaults interviewer for asking if wrestling is fake

Wrestling may be fake but the athleticism is very real.

Telling someone who constantly puts themself in danger, that what they do is fake is highly disrespectful. That shyt is hard work regardless of the fake storylines.

It's like telling a stunt double that their work is fake when they really be out there maiming and killing themselves for it.

When they say fake they mean matches scripted and outcomes are pre determined they dont mean the bumps are fake,wrestlers for decades always acted obtuse to this,they knew exactly what the reporters meant but they just felt entitled that the viewing audience shouldnt KNOW...

Wrestling was scripted as far back as the 1920s though, it's not like it's a new revelation. Also while you don't feel that way, a lot of people do use the term fake to belittle the wrestlers and act like they never get hurt.

Wasnt until the 70s and 80s that the scripted questions started to get asked because the technology ring side started capturing in ring convos between guys...

If you read the background before dude got slapped then you'd know that he was invited back stage with specific instructions NOT to ask if wrestling was fake. He still went back there getting in all their faces asking the very questions he was told not to ask, and he was condescending with it too.

The reporter was a known a$$hole, its really not shocking that he got the reaction that he did. He literally asked to get handled.

not staged...at all..you dont tell an old school wrestler like vader that wrestling is fake

Dude had his whole eyeball come out his head, popped that shyt back in and kept pushing vs Stan Hansen. Vader wasn't about the fukk shyt dissing his craft . RIP

Wrestlers are such emotional weaklings....it kills them to admit its fake cuz its somehow an indictment on there lifes work.

The action is mostly choreographed but the pain is certainly real.

Whether the pain is real or not doesnt make the fatct that its scripted less true....Its like you couldnt ask them it or talk about it with them because they took real bumps lol.....they chose to get into wrestling and all that comes with it and along with it its fake

Hogan and Schultz and alot of those old school guys were mentally weak to deal with it without resorting to shenanigans which led to lawsuuits and in Schultz case cost him his career....

Maybe he was an a$$hole doesnt mean you forfeit ur career over a question lol...

He didnt forfeit his career over this situation, Vince actually protected him by sending him to japan until it blew over.

He got into a fight with Mr. T backstage, that's what ended his career.

He did forfeit his damn career he was gonna be the guy to main event with Hogan during the beginning of the rock n wrestling era he threw that all away cuz of this shyt...and he was done after that...nobody gave a shyt about Japan in the mid 80s its where old wrestlers went to get a payday like MLS is to soccer.

His time was up in the WWF because of that slap and he never wrestled again for Vince after that....

Look it up breh.

Vince actually told dude to stay in character and to rough him up if he got to asking questions he was told not to ask.

He got into a fight with Mr. T around that same time, who was friends with Vince, and that's why he was let go.

David Schults


"Although he has consistently maintained that World Wrestling Federation officials told him to hit Stossel, Schultz was fired. Many industry insiders believe, it was not because of his actions against Stossel, rather, Schults was fired for challenging Mr. T to a fight backstage at a WWF show at Madison Square Garden."



Vince literally tried to protect him from that slap by sending him to Japan and paying his legal fees. It was the fight with Mr T, and the fact that he planned on shooting on Hogan to win the title that got him fired.

People in that industry saw him as a hero for that slap.
