So this person hates wrestlers who do flips but also wrestlers who do chops, what do they want? Are they a fan of restholds and nothing else???

Give me one good reason Danielson, Omega, Moxley, Hangman, MJF, Kingston, Malachai, Pac, Sonny Kiss, Billy Martin, Swerve, Tall Paul, Miro, Penta, Joe, and Starks can't all be undefeated champions that main event in competitive matches versus other top stars on TV every week?!? Tony is dropping the ball here...

They don’t like the wrestling part of wrestling, they like promos and catchphrases and backstage segments full of wacky antics and kerazzy characters.

But also they want down to earth believable characters who really make it look like they're in a fight (no blood though)

The same poster when Danielson is winning: "Why are they burying all of the young talent to put over a guy past his prime? Danielson is still amazing, but Tony is ruining the careers of the future of wrestling by having the Garcias, Yutas, and Guevaras take losses or not win cleanly!"

I had a very confusing conversation with a WWE fan once that ended when I finally realized that to them, "better storytelling" meant "enough replays, recaps, and promo packages that I don't actually have to watch the show to follow what's happening."

They like wrestlers who make it look real, and come across as legitimate tough guys. Which is why they really want them to grab their faces/bodies and go "owie!!!" after every blow, for extended periods. Every single blow, no exceptions. Like in MMA/Boxing

Funnily enough if we ignore women's belts and ROH New Japan only has 3 more belts than AEW right now, the new TV titles and the JR single/tag title. Now if we include ROH than whelp AEW/ROH has way more

Reminder that their only concept of in-ring storytelling is "work the leg" so everything else has to be done through recaps, video packages, and backstage segments where people talk like an AI scripted youtube video and then stare into the camera awkwardly for 30 seconds after finishing their lines

Also no blood because it should only be saved for special moments. Just like MMA and Boxing which famously never have blood.

And when there is blood, make sure to show the highlights in black and white. No one will notice!

Online wrestling discourse is 1000% more comprehensible if you mentally substitute "overt narration" for "storytelling"

To be done with all this measuring of proof.

And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
