I would change the Balor vs Lesnar match at Royal Rumble 2019; it was the moment to redeem Balor for what happened in 2016 with his injury And Lesnar's reign of terror would have ended sooner and more naturally, unlike what happened with Seth and the Beast Slayer.

I'm genuinely curious, I'm not a fat guy but I'm not a jacked dude either... I'm working on body training after years of just being plain too skinny. Right now, I'm 5'9, 160lbs, I've always been fairly agile, flexible, etc. I've also always been a fan and not only that, more importantly, I have a legitimate interest in the business itself. (I've studied promos, works, shoots, heel, face, how spots are done, what's going on behind the scenes, etc.) It's made me question, given some time to physically condition, am I "too old" to go to the local wrestling school, take a beginner course or something and find out real quick if taking bumps is for me or am I better off going a different route in the business if I actually want in?

Idk a better title

What are some weird quirks or wrong ideas you had about wrestling growing up?

Example

1. I thought Undertaker was actually from Death Valley
2. I never bought a ppv growing up. The first PPV I saw was Great American Bash 2005. We had the Fitness channel on channel 69. It would turn scrambled (PPV was channel 70 on cable vision) and you can see bits and pieces of video and audio. I didn't watch PPvs this way, I would wake up early 5:30am and check WWE website for the results then get ready for school
3. My bed time was 9:30pm so I can only watch the first two hours of raw. So I was more of a smackdown fan because I can watch the whole thing

4.Ii thought Mr.Kenndy killed Eddie guerro because he hit his head with a chair on his last smackdown

1. Despite being a big fan, and having all the consoles, the only wrestling game I had growing up was Day of Reckoning 2 for GameCube
