Being a major wrestling mark, I often log in countless hours on YouTube watching shoot interviews, Botchamania and any video humorously recapping an awful moment in the history of professional wrestling.
The other day, I caught this hilarious video recap of the awful NBC special from back in the 1990s — Exposed! Pro Wrestling’s Greatest Secrets. If you’re unfamiliar with the special, watch that clip and it tells you all you’ll ever need — or want — to know about it’s awfulness. To TL;DR the special, it basically “exposed” all of the “secrets” that any wrestling fan with half a brain already knew and then made up most of the other “facts.” It was complete bullshit and information wrestling fans already knew like blading, planning matches and everything else involved in the typical wrestling match.
If NBC ever decides to do a follow-up (and sweet Jesus I hope so) they should include this “secret” revealed by Bill Goldberg in an interview with TMZ. If you’re a major Stone Cold Steve Austin mark, you’re going to want to sit down for this earth-shattering revelation.
What? What! What! I’m not shocked, I’m just doing the Austin “WHAT!” chant because Bill’s reveal is so ridiculous. You mean the guy really didn’t chug beers and get shit faced after wrestling a grueling match or welcoming your no-talent ass to the WWE he helped build? You’re joshing me!
Here’s the moment Bill’s referring to in the interview. In case you want to see him drink 13 beers on purpose.
My second favorite part of that video is when Bill admits he enjoyed his time in WCW much more than WWE. You know, he liked it better going 100-1 and being world champion as apposed to being exposed for being nothing more than a gimmick by actual WWE wrestlers. What!
