>>12706948It's another problem with the high-risk high workrate proliferation which a lot of people either don't think about or forget to mention.
You need people who can do the moves, and people who can take the moves, and you need these two groups to trust each other to do it safely every time.
Wrestling's always been a sketchy work where you couldn't always trust everyone the same way, but 90s Japanese wrestling went full schizo.
On top of that lunacy, the workrate went up because talent wanted to get over more that way (couldn't get the proper booking).
That leaves you with an environment where nobody trusts anyone to not fuck people over, and fewer and fewer people are physically capable of working the desired matches, and even fewer people both can do the matches and want to do them.
To pull it into the modern age, I'm sure a lot of guys in AEW are happy to sit at home, getting paid for nothing.
How many of them are sitting at home because they don't wanna work with dangerous flippy shitters?
I wonder if a lot of those flippy shitters are sitting at home because even they are thinking "damn, they're gonna kill me with those spots".
