I was 13
The Invasion. I thought the WCW and ECW guys were a serious threat to the WWF.
I live in Canada and we didn't get WCW, I knew like 3 WCW wrestlers, everybody else was new to me. I had no idea the invasion roster was 95% WCW jobbers
The CM Punk vs Jeff Hardy feud. Had no idea he was a druggie back then, was extremely pissed off when Punk dressed up as Hardy.
Triple H and Shawn Michaels feud. I was a huge DX fan and when HHH beat the shit out of Shawn I ripped down my DX posters.

Exact same here. I was so afraid of WWF being "taken over" when of course the other two companies were bought out IRL.
In retrospect I probably would've enjoyed ECW if I had seen it all the way back when it was running. However the more I read about WCW, the more I'm convinced it was mostly utter shit.

OP asked when you marked out as a kid, not when you realised wrestling was scripted.

I was upset when Nash turned his back on the Wolfpack

When Trips managed to bitch his way into getting his title back after this.

Looking back it was a way of signposting Jericho's near-future main event push.

I will forever be as mad as I was when Trippple Man pinned Goldberg at Summerslam. I was 14 and had been a huge WCW mark for years, Goldberg was my favorite.
David Flair betraying his father Ric to join Wolfpac at Superbrawl 99
Scotty Steiner's fake retirement in 99

I re-watched it recently and it still worked me, all these years later.
Then when you read about the politics behind the scenes and it really comes off as Triple HGH weaseling his way into retaining.
Why does he always book himself to win over guys who are magnitudes above him?
>>2664506
Because HHH is probably the biggest mark for himself going. It's the same reason he keeps putting himself into Wrestlemania matches every year that no one is asking for or wants to see.

Legit made me stop watching for nearly a year. I was like 8 at the time so kayfabe looked real to me.
