>>12644409>People give Meltzer a lot of shit, but at least he actually believes in the value of wrestling for the sake of itAny form of art existing for the sake of itself and not for some grander purpose be it personal, artistic or capitalistic only serves to dilute said art form by lowering the bar of entry
Case in point: look at the the quality of dog shit work that is lapped up in current year relative to when guys were cutthroat and the locker rooms were full of adversarial politics and cunts. Not even characters or stories, but simply matches, the caliber of work today is so low in America because guys can simply wrestle for the sake of it and have little incentive to improve.
