It was John Stossel. I don't get why the media was obsessed with the Wrestling is fake thing back then - it was obvious - magicians don't really do magic. I think because Stossel was some sort of consumer rights activist on 20/20 he viewed Wrestling as false advertising?

The reason that wrestler may have been so angry (besides the steroids and or drugs) is because the wrestling world was afraid if they said it was fake the audience would leave them.

McMahon gambled that he made Wrestling so big he could sell it as sports entertainment and he admitted it was scripted. It was actually a big deal when it was announced - like we learned a big secret that everyone seemed to have been in on. I was a kid at the time so I am going by memory.
