Listening to the Jim Cornette best of 2020 omnibus, not too far in and hes replaying a segment discussing Orton/Edge and he talks about attacks and no one coming to Edges rescue.
This is one of those things I think modern wrestling messes up. In the example Orton lays out Edge and kind of just stands over him. Where is security? Where is anyone coming to help out Edge?
It's not like I can turn to a co-worker and smash them with a chair and stand over them. Someone is gonna tackle me lol. It kind of ruins the realism for me and I think would actually make the moment better when security runs in. Also to Cornettes points with all this is Edge out six months? Nah hes back next week. So going forward are you gonna buy anything that happens to this guy if someone comes after him?
Just something I thought I'd share, I guess at least security didnt run out and Orton do a triple backflip off the top on top of them all.

I think my favourite run-in (or more of a walk-in save lol) was Elizabeth going backstage to grab Hogan when Honky Tonky/Hart Foundation were beating on Macho Man, leading to the Mega Powers being formed. |

Though it reminds me how frustrated I would be when it was just the officials out stopping it instead of another wrestler.

"And here comes security..."
Cue a handful of jobbers in black shirts with "Security" emblazoned on them entering the ring to get their arses kicked one by one!

I miss Memphis, NWA when something like the Midnights were beating down Dusty and Magnum and Ronnie Garvin run in to make the save. |

One the times this really irritated me was whenever Benoit and Raven wrestled, Raven would bring the whole Flock and Benoit would bring nobody and get beaten down. It made Benoit look stupid and it made WCW stupid for not banning the Flock and letting Raven invoke Raven's Rules all the time. I usually have the referees try to stop it the first week and have the wrestler find someone to watch his back for the rematch. Otherwise, you get to the point where everyone is part of a gang and while that makes booking easier, isn't how I want to roll. |

I need to stop listening to this lol ... I heard this the first time but there replaying the segment about Vince McMahon banned words.
Why are title, Wrestlers? Match banned??? I want to watch wrestling and I want to hear wrestling terms. Sports Entertainment is a stupid term. Vinces company died when they lost the WWF name.

For me it is about consistency and to some level believability. Don't have security come out and break up a beat down one match and less than a half hour later no one shows up for another. As far as wrestlers coming out to help another it seems more believable that in this day and age most guys look out for themselves. No need to get involved in something that is not their business. So having a real friend, like Swann/Mack in Impact, run out to help the other makes sense. One thing I hate is how weak refs and security can be booked sometimes. A ref should not need multiple minutes to recover from a shove and if security keeps getting their asses handed to them when dealing with one guy you need better security.

How about when security would hold back the face but let the heels perform the beat down. If I was the face, I’d start beating the crap out of officials. It’s like teachers in school doing nothing to bullies but punishing the bullied.
