*** Actually, this trick may have helped some of the boys who tried it. When you're lying, especially when it's on the spot, you tend to hesitate when you're speaking because it takes longer to think up a lie than it does to just think of the true information. When you lie, you're speaking faster than you can think. As well, there are also some body language cues that a well-trained person can use to infer that the person is lying. It being technically true that they were over a certain number may have helped these boys not give themselves away through these cues, [[YoungerThanTheyLook especially if they looked the part as well]].

* The {{ECW}}'s infamous "Mass Transit incident". In 1996, Erich Kulas, 17-year-old, 350-pound kid from New England with no in-ring ability, lied about his age, his wrestling experience and his schooling background (claiming to have been trained by Killer Kowalski) in order to get into the ring. He was given the gimmick "Mass Transit", a [[TheHoneymooners Ralph Kramden]]-like [[WrestlingDoesntPay wrestling bus driver]], and thrown into a tag-team [[GarbageWrestling hardcore match]] (filling in for Axl Rotten) alongside D-Von Dudley against New Jack and Mustapha Seed. It ended about as well as you would expect -- Kulas left the match lying in a pool of his own blood after a botched bladejob, New Jack was arrested and later sued (he was let off after it was revealed how Kulas had lied to the bookers), and ECW's first pay-per-view, ''Barely Legal'', was almost canceled, and wound up getting pushed back by four months.

** Allegedly, some boys would put a scrap of paper with the correct number (16 or 17, I believe) written on it in their boot, so they could say they were "over 17" without it technically being a lie. This might be apocryphal though; why would you take the time to do that, when you'd be kicked out anyway if it was found out you were underage, with or without a scrap of paper?
