>>19484080>>19484104it's not that Gunther won, it's the tap out with a smile part that got go-away heat against it. This is the key part of this kerfuffle.
In this current age, you don't have to be mark or a moron to believe in kayfabe, you have to ACTIVELY PARTICIPATE and ACTIVELY PRACTICE WILLING SUSPENSION OF DISBELIEF harder than ever before while avoiding backstage content the company itself produces to watch the show as "realistic" events.
Because they've ripped curtains on the illusion out as hard as they can with their own backstage documentaries - "oh we work so hard on these Wrestlemania STORYLINES,MOMENTS and BOOKING but it's real moments wink wink that's why it's the greatest SHOW on earth" the heat doesn't really land on Gunther.
At the same time its trying to be clever and plant events to stir the conversation and obfuscate what is real and what is a work. But even in doing this cheeky little dance never the less exposed that the outcomes are, sans most injuries, A PRODUCT of the company.
So where's the blame gonna land on that four figure ticket giving you blue balls everytime? It's not Gunther, it's the company and booker - they don't think people will rather just stay at home to watch whatever it is they promote if this is the consistent level of booking and rewarding for paying up? Bold moves, stupid but bold, not everyone is into findom like HHH
