>>6582799It's interested how you drew the parallel with spotfests in wrestling and spotfests in movies. I have been thinking about this for a long time, and I have concluded that spotfests are bad for any type of media.
Look at dancing for example. Elvis literally just shook his hips and bitches all over America creamed themselves so hard that the sea level increased by an inch. Now, you've got half-naked Jamaican girls grinding their ass on a dude's dick and twerking became a worldwide phenomenon. Nobody bats an eyelid at twerking anymore. Elvis' hip-swinging looks like a child's attempt at being cool now.
Corney put it really well: in a match in the 70's(?) some dude (I think Dusty) received four chairshots and was hospitalized in kayfabe. People were so fucking worked the heel had to be protected on his way to the locker room. Now jabronis saw this, and used this chair spot more often and eventually, it lost its effect. People jusy copy shit and take it to its extremes and suck its soul out. This happened to movies, music, dancing and even 4chan.
What jabronis forget, is that story never gets old. We're still reading and enjoying Sophocles for fuck's sake. Story never goes out of style. Story and sex are the two things in the world that bear this distinction. Write a good story, tell a hood story, and they will come.
