While speaking with Busted Open Radio, Scott Steiner criticized modern pro wrestling for focusing too much on flashy moves instead of making matches feel real. He called it a “spot show” with wrestlers doing move after move, like a DDT, but then popping right back up as if nothing happened.
>“You know, it’s too… it’s a spot show, you know? A bunch of spot monkeys—that was the term. It’s like, man, nowadays, you take a DDT, and they pop up and go right back to doing a DDT again, like nothing really means anything. It’s almost like a performance with the stars. Yeah, it’s like a performance.">"I wish they would scale it back. You’ve got to make it make sense. You can’t just have somebody punching you in the face and acting like it didn’t hurt. In a real fight, a punch is going to hurt. A poke in the eye is going to hurt. That’s the only thing I don’t like—it doesn’t make sense.”>https://youtu.be/6qBrmZAPFOI
