Dark Side Of The Ring Producer Details How Social Media Has Hurt Wrestling

[Easy-E]

Fans are fixated so much on the decisions of the people behind the scenes writing these storylines than they are losing themselves in the wrestling, which is what the whole point is. But also the writers aren’t doing a very good job of letting us lose ourselves in the magic of wrestling either, you know?

Every Tuesday morning; "VINCE MCMAHON BACKSTAGE?! LAST MINUTE CHANGES?!"

He's not exactly wrong but I wouldn't say social media per se, moreso modern smark culture where everyone is fan of the performers as opposed to the characters and everyone has to have a belt.

My favorite wrestlers growing up were Stone Cold and The Rock

But, I fukked with Billy Gunn, Rodd Dogg, X-Pac, D-Lo Brown, APA, Edge and Christian, etc. etc.

These dude act like PR for one or two wrestlers and shyt

They can't even enjoy (for example) the Bloodline story because their guy don't have the strap

It really highlights just how good this storyline is as well because they’re restored that feeling. You get one or two isolated marks here and there but the general feeling of the masses is that this is all time great. The marks have not been able to co opt their feelings into the general public’s thoughts like usual.

They mad because we can criticize when the product is shyt INSTANTLY rather than eating shyt and hoping for the best.

"Smart" wrestling fans are miserable for the most part. If something doesn't play out like they fantasy booked it in their head, then it's absolute garbage and unredeemable.
