>>14202709>>14202652I agree, anon. I'm so disappointed at this supposed "revival" of WWE over the past couple of years. It's been mostly terrible, and what little good they've done they immediately kill by openly breaking kayfabe over and over again, and by playing it safe in angles and storylines to the detriment of creativity. Not to mention a severe lack of star power and nearly everyone working the same generic, spot-heavy, no-selling style as everyone else. If I never see another suicide dive in my life, it'll be too soon! The high school drama level backstage skits are cringe worthy. The production, stage, lights are an overproduced mess that makes everything look like it's wrapped in plastic. And don't get me started on how abysmal commentary is today.
Utterly soulless, corporate slop. Completely unrecognizable from the wrestling I knew from the 80s and 90s, or even early 2000s. Even the Undertaker has broken kayfabe over and over again.
Wrestling used to have a level of respect for keeping a veneer of believability and grit. It lived somewhere in the middle between a sport and a dramatic play with themes that appealed to men, but ultimately a morality play depicting good vs evil. But today's wrestling is a high school drama appealing to women, dweebs, and coomers, none of which have ever been in a fight let alone fought (even metaphorically) for anything or anyone other than themselves. Wrestling is dead.
