* ''[[The A-Team]]'': The 1985 episode "Body Slam" starred [[Hulk Hogan]] in a plot that made heavy use of Hogan's wrestling career (including footage from a 1984 match vs. Greg "the Hammer" Valentine, presented as legit), and featured several WWF faces as un-billed extras in a scene where they fight off that episode's villains. In the segment featuring the Hogan-Valentine match, the ending is altered to show the bad guys entering the arena to confront and assassinate Hogan (don't worry, they're stopped in time). |

* In season four of ''[[Boy Meets World]]'', Cory has to be in [[Two-Timer Date|two places at once]], and one of those places is ringside, giving tips to Big Van [[Vader]] as a favor to Vader's (fictional) son Frankie. Everyone, including Vader, treats the match as entirely real. |

* There was a late-80s-vintage ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' sketch set in [[Fluffy Cloud Heaven]] in which an angel was answering a newly-ascended soul's every question. When the angel declined to answer "what's the most surprising thing you could tell me?" on the grounds that he wouldn't believe it at all, the soul then asked something like, "What's the ''five-hundredth'' most surprising thing you can tell me?" The angel leaned in and very seriously informed him, "Pro wresting is ''real''." Naturally, the soul was stunned. |
