>>5801050I dont think its the companies. I think its because everyone knows that everyone knows its fake, so the wrestlers are afraid to invest themselves 100% into their characters, storylines and programs. Basically because they dont want to be made fun of for taking it too seriously and want to seem 'cool' while theyre winking.
They figure 'i'll just do cool moves' and have neat gear and that'll be that, completely oblivious to dudes liie bray who shot up the card twice out of nowhere because he actually 'got it.' Roman did too, eventually. Jericho figured it out after retiring that first time. Punk might know, i cant tell.
