>>14565879>>14565994Wrestling literally only got hot during periods where they booked angles and promos. The analogy I always use for normies & retards is Game of Thrones.
Game of Thrones has 1 big title- the throne. Several smaller/lowercard titles- King in North, Nights Watch, the Free Cities, castles, etc.
Face and heel turns, stables and individual workers.
The battles and duels which decide the fate of these castles/thrones (titles) aren't the only thing that gets booked and don't mean anything unless built to and followed up on with good stories. An overbooked spotty battle doesn't make up for bad story.
Do people really remember the battles as much as they remember particular shocking moments or character interactions? No. Tyrion, Olenna, the High Sparrow, Stannis, Cersei, Tywin all cut tons of gigadimes promos. Jaime Lannister has his bath promo. Red Wedding, Ned in S1, Craster's Keep mutiny, Daenerys hatching the eggs, the For The Watch angle, they're all angles that are way more over than any battle. Then there's the monster heel being built up with an undefeated streak over jobbers in the White Walkers.
The battles for the thrones & castles are the driving impetus of GoT, but the stories around those characters are what draw dimes.
Wrestling is the same.
When matches are used as one of the building blocks for the vehicle to tell stories, wrestling draws.
When stories are used as the vehicle to put on matches, wrestling doesn't draw. It's backwards booking that only very, very stupid workrate marks would ever book or watch.
