Al's right. The shoot stuff is interesting and can be entertaining.. but it is not needed, and good old fashioned storytelling with characters is where it's at. I've been watching a lot of 80s WWF, and it's so refreshing to have everything be 'in character's. Promos, commentary, any other interactions. If there is any form of 'shooting' it's in the form of an inside rib. They are few and far between, and they don't hurt/expose the business. I don't recall when it started, but it definitely was pushed by Russo. Blurring the lines a bit is one thing, but when you are essentially telling the crowd "what you have been watching so far is scripted, however, this is real" it takes away from the product. On the subject of Punk, I do think the 'pipebomb' worked. It blurred the lines. It alluded to the inner workings and the politics of pro wrestling without exposing the business. CM Punk was standing up for what he felt was right, but still putting over the importance of his opponent in John Cena, the WWE Title. His overarching point was "I bust my ass for this company, and now I'm going to beat your top guy, take your belt, and then leave this company!" The only thing that really broke kayfabe was him calling The Rock Dwayne. However, later in the storyline he would say stuff like "This is Phill Brooks talking to Paul Levesque". That's where it starts to break the fourth wall too much, as well as being just a bit embarrassing.

I loved him before he got hurt because he had so much physical talent and a great look. After he got hurt and couldn't fly, I did not see much point to him. But later, when I learned about the shoot aspect of his career, I appreciated him more - for whatever that's worth to Al Snow.

Al Snow still doesn't understand his own job, 25 years after his prime. Making the fans go "listen, I know most of this is scripted, but the Rock is really mad at Cody, so is Roman, and they're mad at us too" is the literal secret sauce to drawing money. Same thing with blood feuds. "The rest of it kinda looked fake, but Funk and Flair beat the dogsht out of each other tonight". Does he really think that we can just go back to completely ignoring social media in a world where UFC exists and the cay is already out of the bag? Ofc not, Al, you dumb tool. Its how you work fans USING those things that creates those moments in the modern era. Id love to see a wrestling product that is basically treated like a real athletic contest, Bill Watts rules, and maybe one guy goes to the top rope one single time per night, and when he does, it matters. But I'm also not a delusional, bitter old man, and I realise that the best chance of that happening is if WWE does like a spin-off brand. As much as I hate how overly gymastic wrestling has become, and how hard it is to suspend disbelief when someone knees you in the head 10 times (would kill you), then does a 450 and you kick out-- as much as I hate that, the fans will never believe the MATCHES are real again. The best we can do is make the inbetweens feel real. Prime example: CM Punk and Seth Rollins hate each other IRL, or there's at least some truth there. So who's gonna win? Who's gonna take the pinfall from someone they genuinely hate the idea of losing to? THAT is how you sell tickets in the modern day. That and personalities are your only draws. Thats why AEWs "great matches all the time" theory has them $35m in the hole, and why Al Snow is a bitter old man who will never get that HoF ring.

If Al Snow has the option, he needs to reduce the bass on his mic. His mic and/or software distorts his voice.

Exposing a backstage fight as dangerous while booking a backstage fight on the program clearly drawing the lines between what’s “real” and what’s for show was the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen a wrestling promoter do.

I can tell you the reason for this: Tony Khan is a spoiled little rich boy screaming "well you're not welcome in my super best friend's clubhouse anymore" at cm punk on national tv.

Tony Khan literally once tweeted Linda Hogan telling her that she isn't allowed to go to his wrestling shows for tweeting something non-PC Linda Hogan "what's an AEW?" 😅

Punk, and others backstage have said, Tony isn't a boss and doesn't handle shit from the get-go and put a stop to any of it. Page went into business for himself. At that presser, Punk was fuming and let it all go. And WTF was Tony doing? He was sitting right next to him, NODDING IN AGREEMENT with everything he was saying. We heard about Perry and the glass, crap. Then got more details on him cursing out the doctor, Schivanne, etc, before asking Punk for help bc Tony again, didn't put a stop to any of it. Punk and Perry talked. All was supposedly OK. Until All In, where now for the 2nd time another wrestler, Perry went into business for himself! LOL. - AEW shows the footage, and within SECONDS, gets ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED! AEW posted that full segment w footage to their YT Channel with the title something like "Young Bucks show ALL IN footage and call out FTR!...30 mins later or so, as the backlash got even worse, AEW EDITED that video with a new title, abd they EDITED OUT THE ALL IN FOOTAGE FROM IT! And, then went on an ALL OUT Copyright strike attack on every single person on Twitter and YT who posted the video. ABSOLUTE CLOWN SHOW.

I've always viewed the "shoot promo" as a Russo thing 🤷
