The Veil Has Been Lifted [View all]

I got really angry listening to Sean Hannity and Marco Rubio chastising President Obama for not calling Netanyahu fast enough after his victory. Obama should pick up a phone right away to congratulate a leader who undermined him and didn't bother calling the president to let him know he was coming?

I did a segment on the show about it and just published this article today. Check it out when you get a chance.

The Veil Has Been Lifted
by Rob Black

The veil has been lifted. Wrestling is fake and Israel controls the Republican Party.

There was actually a serious debate going on in the 80’s as to whether wrestling was fake or real. There were investigative reports from news programs like 20/20. Reporter John Stossel was slapped by wrestler “Dr. D” David Schultz when Stossel said that he thought wrestling was fake. Schultz was sued by Stossel and fired from what was then WWF. (now WWE) Shultz then sued WWE and claimed that he slapped Stossel on orders from boss Vince McMahon, who was trying to keep a lid on the notion that wrestling was fake for fear that he would lose his fanbase if it were discovered that wrestling was scripted and the outcomes predetermined.

Another famous is wrestling fake or not moment occurred when comedian Richard Belzer was put in a sleeper hold by Hulk Hogan when Hogan and Mr T. were on Belzer’s talk show addressing the allegations of fake wrestling. Belter was put in a front face hold and was choked out. You see his body go limp and when Hogan releases him, Belzer falls to the ground and cracks his head on the concrete stage floor and busts it wide open.

Belzer also filed a lawsuit and there were also questions as to whether McMahon ordered Hogan to choke Belzer out.

Nobody in the wrestling business wanted to admit it was fake. The media uproar in the 80’s that demanded the answer to the question got to the point of where state athletic commissions, who never required licenses for professional wrestling and Vince McMahon never had to comply with commission rules because the unspoken understanding was that wrestling was fake and not a real sport and therefore not subject to state regulations, the state commissioners had to go to WWE and say, “Since you’re telling everybody that wrestling is real like boxing is, you’re going to have to follow the same requirements, like wrestler physicals and inspections and paying a commission licensing fee.”

Vince McMahon now had to go on TV and admit the truth, that wrestling was fake, it was scripted, it has been and it always will be. Wrestling is “sports entertainment.”

This stunning admission left some wrestling fans heartbroken and others shrugging their shoulders and saying “Wrestling is fake? Yeah? And? We always knew it.”

Vince McMahon lifted the veil and confirmed what everybody already suspected. Everyone knew wrestling was fake, but everybody wanted to keep it a secret. Now wrestling’s fake, it always has been and people understand it to be fake. It’s like a soap opera for men.

Once the cat was out of the bag, it changed the wrestling business. It went from a bunch of different companies all making money to the giant monolith of WWE, a publicly traded company that cannibalized everything and now it’s the only game in town.

Why the wrestling history lesson? Because it’s very similar to what is happening now with U.S/Israeli politics.
