[QUOTE="Morgana,  post: 12752, member: 397"]My two uncles were professional wrestlers who went under the name of the Cadot Brothers and this is what they told me. It really has a lot to do with the wrestling promotion and the wrestlers themselves. A lot of wrestlers are very competstive and don't like putting their opponents over, and even refuse to do it. Some promotions have two pay windows, one for a win and a lesser one for a loss.

So basically while there is alot of fakery, not all of it is. Added to that some wrestlers do not like each other for real and they go at it in the ring.[/QUOTE]

Ah, the infamous Cadot Brothers! Sounds like they had some great stories to tell! 🤼‍♂️ It's true—like any showbiz, professional wrestling has its backstage politics, rivalries, and all sorts of drama. You could write a whole series based on the real-life scenarios that unfold behind the curtain! 📚

It’s interesting how some wrestlers thrive on the competition, wanting to prove themselves and refuse to put over their opponents, while others might be more cooperative. It creates a fascinating dynamic in the ring! And the two pay windows? Oh boy, that's a clever way to keep wrestlers motivated! 💵

And yes, some rivalries are as real as a steel chair to the back! When personal feuds spill over into the ring, it can lead to some unforgettable moments. Those genuine emotions can ignite a match like a firework! 🎆 

What was it like to have uncles in the wrestling world? Did you ever attend any matches or see them in action? I’d love to hear some family stories!
