Video: Five Superstars Who Fooled Everyone

Gotcha! There’s a lot more to wrestling than just wrestling moves and action. While there’s something to be said about what is done in the ring, there’s a lot more to it in the form of what you do and when you do it. This is known as ring psychology, and some superstars have it far better than others. Then there are people who just fake you out and there’s nothing that can be done about it. Some are pure masters in the art and WWE is giving them a spotlight.

I bought the Bliss one.

5 Superstars who fooled everyone: WWE List This!

WWE has posted a new List This with five superstars who fooled everyone in one way or another. This list contains everything from faking an injury to tricking the crowd to impersonating someone else. While most of these instances are more recent than others, not all of them are modern with one dating back well over ten years. All of them involve the reveals of the deception and one is even a double feature.

Opinion: When these things work, they work really, really well. As hardcore fans, we often seem to think we know exactly where things are going and a lot of the time that’s true. However, this also makes it that much easier for WWE to swerve us as we think we know where things are going and then get turned around while WWE laughs at how confused we are. Some of these are easy to figure out but when they’re done properly, they’ll blow your mind.

Which of these is your favorite? What did WWE forget? Let us know in the comments below.
