Western wrestling nowadays is all wannabe fighters dressed like MMA idiots, with kickpads, barefooted or taped fists, whose characters are "I am a fighter who trains muay thai and judo, I have real sports background, I am dangerous". They have no personality so the only way to appeal to the crowd is by stupid dangerous shit in the ring that gets old after 2 matches.
