>>10135650Dave's correct that the pattern of Cornette's thinking is repetitious, but he's also wrong in defending this style of wrestling and falls for the brainlet trap of not seeing gradient.
There's an obvious difference between character work that implicates other parties (like managers), and the actual style being blatantly phony. The former you can rationalize as being by-product of the unrealism without having your intelligence insulted. It doesn't "look" false, because it "is" false, and therefore "looks" right.
We can also accept minor aggravations such as irish whips and the many small-level cooperations during a match.
The actual style being TOO choreographed and too false detracts from the entire performance, though, which is a valid complaint with modern wrestling. When the guys don't make any base level effort to maintain the façade where it should be maintained -- not in story-centric moments that implicate managers, which honestly don't puncture affairs THAT much either, as it's just a pair of chickenshits crawling to their manager for support --, why should I care about it?
If you're not abiding the context of a simulated fight, you're departing from the spirit and artistic soul of pro wrestling. You're just doing increasingly less impressive athletic exhibitions. That's pleb shit.
