Today's society is all about instant gratification and there is no story 'building' any more. I was talking with a friend the other day about how awesome Claudio Castagnoli is and that the E should let him do a BDK type angle in the fed but we know that will never happen. A year long arch would never work to the Kool-Aid drinkers.

I just picked managers, as those are hard to find many on any level of the wrestling business. The other things you listed I can find in wrestling, just maybe not always in WWE. Love this statement... Because, in truth, I don't really miss anything in wrestling... Between Lucha Underground and ROH (with some CZW, Evolve, PWG and CWFH thrown in whenever I can find it), I'm getting a pretty sweet dose of all the things that I WISH the WWE could deliver... Perhaps the real question for me is ' What do I miss about WWE?' But, it's been gone for so long, I don't even think it's an option for them anymore... |

Definitely agree that the internet has killed ALOT of the so-called surprises in the business. Del Rio was a perfect example. Yeah it was definitely a holy s**t moment, but as cited above, we all knew Cena was taking a few months off, so him dropping the belt to Alberto was pretty much ruined. It's the same with TV tapings. Kinda ruins the excitement when a James Storm or Samoa Joe jumps ship when you already knew weeks earlier that they were coming. Ditto for Tyler Breeze's "debut". Also have to admit that I kinda miss kayfabe in certain respects as well. Sure, for the most part it is totally intelligence insulting, but most things that are usually end up being plain old fun & wrestling really isn't fun anymore. Still entertaining, but not in the same way as before I knew Steve Borden was Sting, for example. Again, we can thank the internet for that one, too.
GREAT topic by the way!

A year long arch would never work to the Kool-Aid drinkers. Reading this prompted me to think about how disappointed I would have been 30+ years ago had I known before tuning in that Andre the Giant would have the foresight to select S.D. Jones as his "mystery" partner against Big John Studd & Ken Patera in the infamous haircut match. I remember waiting all week to see who it would be, obviously to only be disappointed, but oh, the anticipation...THAT is what I miss MOST! |
