So many wasted opportunities.

There are many opportunities for stories to be told in the ring, and they are missed.

Imagine if the WWE told a story about how a challenger was going to beat Brock. Not just having him come out in the ring and say it on a microphone. But show in the ring through a change in that wrestler's style and repertoire. Let that wrestler start to take more risks, both for himself and his opponent. Make it seem as if he may be going too far in his quest to defeat the Beast.

That sort of thing never happens.

Casuals don't care about stories. They care about badass dudes beating each other up, blood and swearing. That's why wrestling is irrelevant now

that story literally saved the company

If you add a good drama to those beat downs that is what really sells tickets. Blood and guts by itself only works for a short time.

This is why I quit coming to asp.
Faggots who couldn't go one minute without filling their daily meme quota.
For the entire time I have been browsing asp, no one seems to have a fucking sensible conversation or debate.

4chan IS all about being a fucktard. If you want discussion you should try wooo or reddit

They could have done this with Dean this year. Dean could have switched back to his wrestling trunks and told people "You know, I actually am trained to do this. I'm not just a mindless brawler". Then we could have seen him wrestle some big monster guys like Rowan and take them apart technically as well as by beat down. That would have evolved Deans character.

But nope. More of le wacky man.

I am hesitant to believe you,

If you want to have a good conversation about wrestling, get into the business instead of talking to dumbass fans.

Attitude Era had lots of drama and soap opera, less wrestling and thats when their ratings were the highest ever.
