Keep in mind this is the guy who climbed the 16 ft hell in a cell with a broken foot only to throw his co-worker off of it. Taker has also completed 20 minutes worth of elimination chamber after being set on fire and continued the best match of his career after landing on the back of his neck from a failed jump. Then you have Sincara who "dislocated" a finger and just walked away from a match.
@toms.a.savage72322 жыл бұрын
Keep in mind that knowledge about CTE back in the day was not known to the general public. Concussion protocol was literally "get back up or you're a pussy." So a lot of wrestlers took unnecessary chair shots to the head, went through undiagnosed concussions without rest, and took dangerous drugs to either null the pain or look good for Vinnie Mac and other promoters. Nobody is doubting the toughness of Taker and the wrestlers of yesteryear, but today's standards are in place because a lot of wrestlers are dead in the name of trying to "tough it out." Unrelated, but Sin Cara was a bitch for stopping a match over a dislocated finger. Also, stopping a match over a little blood is also pretty dumb. You should only stop that if it's Eddie Guerrero blood loss level. However, there are times when wrestlers who were busted open contracted Hep C.

WWE today is so clean cut and family friendly it's like The Fast and the Furious franchise (RIP Paul Walker). The first movie set the pace and there was a clear storyline; now they're just adding in random actors and superstars because that is the only way they will get people to watch it. Like every movie with Samual L. Jackson; people love him so they will watch the movie only for him. They have movie ratings for a reason; G, PG, PG-13, R, NC-17. They're there so parents will know what the content of the movie will be like and make them decide whether or not their child can watch it or not. If parents are so worried about what their child may hear on TV, tell them not to watch it! And if for some reason they do watch it and they pick up "inappropriate" behavior and language it's not the WWE's fault; it's their fault since they don't know how to operate parental controls on their TV. At least back then, you had blood, profanity, violence, and attitude ! The point is WWE should not be responsible for what they say and how it affects children. If they know it's a "bad word" then they should know better not to say it.

All professional wrestling companies eventually forget that their characters are supposed to FIGHTERS. Keyfabe or not, the art of professional wrestling at it's heart is about men and women going into a ring and physically beating each other. Whether it be by weapons, holds, slams or submissions wrestling is about combat. There's always a precarious balance to strike there but I think most wrestling companies need to start leaning more into that aspect of wrestling than the entertainment. Violence and sex sells. These promotions seem to have forgotten that.

Fans got spoiled with the Attitude Era, which was like the Golden Age of NBA or Heavyweight Boxing. The fundamental/technical skills of the Wrestlers of that era were far superior than the Wrestlers of today. Wrestlers may get bigger, faster and stronger with modern conditioning, but they don’t have the grit like the Wrestlers of the 90’s/2000’s did, as Undertaker was alluding to. It’s also a no-brainer that in this digital age, the psychology and expression of flow with storytelling is different now. No one has quite figured out how to perfectly present the psychology of storytelling in this current era of Pro Wrestling. There isn’t the dimensions and layers to characters now that there were in past decades.
@johnnyskinwalker40953 жыл бұрын
The fall of WCW was a big reason for that. Because when WCW was there and wrestling was hot, every young men wanted to be a wrestler and they came from all over. You had a big well of talent. Whereas when WCW fell, the interest of wrestling fell as well. And instead of getting wrestlers who had travelled the World joining in, Vince McMahon was the only game in town, stopped listening to the fans and decided to manifacture talent in a corporate factory somewhere and you got guys like Cena that people rejected but he was a talent that Vince wanted to re-brand the company into something safe for a casual audience. Main event wrestling lost its balls. And with WCW gone, it was one less place to learn proper wrestling. So now you've got guys that mostly come from the indies and have not learned psychology and fight for what you have. It's the spotfest galore and making wrestling into a joke.

I called it the Dwayne Johnson effect. Everyone wants to make the big bucks ever since he left WWE for Hollywood. He changed the perspective of being in the limelight of WWE and utilizing the marketing which WWE developed to market the Rock. He would eventually enrich himself with juicy deals with outside producers in Hollywood. I don't have a lousy grudge against Dwayne Johnson. Nonetheless, the undertaker isn't pointing fingers at anybody, which is mind-boggling to me. He still has this level of professionalism for the WWE universe. Also, note Joe could be a bit more enthusiastic with Undertaker. I am a fanatic of Joe; however, the tone of this interview is horrible.
