It honestly depends. For example, former UFC/MMA fighter? Yeah, I'll sell that and talk about them as a legitimate threat. As well as someone who, in general, has a badass type of character or is just big in general.

Superhero/special powers & abilities? Nah, I'm gonna call that out and act like its special effects.

So I guess, for me, it specifically depends on the situation.

As for a backstage attack I didn't expect, I'd also sell that(as I did when Engy and company attacked me after a match, I used that as the premise of my following RP and felt it was decently done).

Makes sense. So basically you'll sell the gimmicks that are a little more real. Can I ask where that line was drawn originally? Was there a wrestling company that did it that way or is this just your own take? Like, as a fan, were you always wishing guys like Taker and Kane, etc... would just have all their opponents make fun of them and talk about special effects?

It's hard, because I honestly don't know. I definitely would say I, personally, prefer the more realistic gimmicks, but I also wouldn't necessarily hate on Kane or Undertaker. When you put it THAT way, I guess it makes me feel a bit more open to sell something, I think it just depends. On what, I don't know. Lol

I guess, again, it's more of a character thing for me. Like, Big D would respect Robert Main but shrug off Zane Norrison because zombies "aren't real." But at the same time, if D's going up the ramp and an opponent makes flames come out from the stage, I would want D to sell THAT.
