>>13579206>you MUST reduce pro wrestling to spots and athleticism>nothing else exists aside from that and money!You workrate marks have killed pro wrestling.
>inb4 you out yourself as a tone deaf retard by pretending I just said I only care about moneyIt's not about money. It's not about drawing either, not directly. It's about DOING THE THINGS THAT DRAW. That includes having believable matches that strive for internal consistency and logic (that's what we mean by it needs to look real btw). Today we have gymnasts openly cooperating to set up a dimeless spot that the crowd doesn't care about 30 seconds later because they're already moving into the next spot. I won't even get into how almost nobody can talk anymore because everything is scripted. Or how characters are watered down corporate shit without nuance.
And yes, this is a problem for WWE and AEW. It's industry wide, at least in America.
