>>5078458>>entire match is in first gear and them laying around on the mat for eternity after each movethis is every match in nu-wwe
i started watching old 90s stuff and the difference is shocking. even a shit match in a shit year like 1995 is still non-stop action. theres very little pause between moves/exchanges.
nowadays it's move or quick exchange for 30 seconds, then both wrestlers take a timeout for 1-2 minutes rolling around on the floor in agony. this is why matches are so long now. it's literally just filler, filling up the time because theres nothing interesting going on in the show. there are no storylines. so you just fill up the time with matches that are mostly blank space.
