Why is it so hard to pick a few wrestlers and write a coherent story for them? Fucking why? It's not different than writing for anything else. Make a story, have a backup in case someone gets KWAB'D, then have it end and move on to the next one. But most importantly, make it feel like a real sport in character/show presentation. Why the fuck is every booker so content with wrestling feeling even more fake than it actually is? Watch MMA and see what real fighters do. Every match is important to them; show the wrestlers taking their matches seriously for the money, their personal ranking in the company, and their ego. Have short pre-match promos. Make their entrances seem important. Have a quick post-match interview with the loser being devastated.
Just make it feel real. Make it seem like a real sport. Imagine making a TV show about wrestling and writing it the way that WWE and AEW do their shows where nothing feels believable or important. You'd be laughed out of the damn room at any half-decent writer's table. It is really that hard? How do they not realize how phony it feels? Am I fucking crazy? And yes I am worked and seething.
