How do you guys feel about WWE embracing the fact that it's scripted and choreographed

[Deezy]

Maintaining kayfabe kept the business from getting the respect it deserves for putting their health and lives at risk to perform simulated violence in one take......eat shit Daniel Day Lewis......you couldn't finish a scene if you broke your neck.

Let's not forget The Fiend was sort of bringing Kayfabe back.

 

[Deezy]

Was his gimmick being absolute garbage?

No, the Fiend was over with the fans

That second Fiend theme was fire. *NO PUN INTENDED*

I think it's a bad thing. No problem with them blurring the lines of reality and playing with kayfabe but when they do stupid booking that straight up say this shit is fake then I don't how that is a smart business decision. Everyone knows it's fake so the importance of keep kayfabe alive is not as important. But in terms of making a good product you have to treat the business with respect otherwise the quality of entertainment goes down

Because movies and tv shows don't have featurettes that show how much effort it took to make what we are watching?

I knew Spiderman was filmed on greenscreen and didn't care.....and neither did a bajillion other people who watched it.

Also half way through spiderman, Peter Parker doesn't say to the camera this is fake

That's what the CGI fight scenes are for.

Poor cgi is equivalent to vince mcmahon beating up pat macafee

And yet.....people enjoyed it, even the botched stunner.

That's sports entertainment for you

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Vince himself knows it was bad, but as he said as long as people enjoyed it

 

[Sabretooth]

I mean yeah sometimes it goes too far. Like Vince McMahon was barely even touching Pat and you could tell he was throwing himself into the ropes lmao. But people enjoyed it anyway so does it really matter? Probably not. WWE is entertainment. Period. If you don’t like it you don’t gotta watch.

For my taste WWE could maintain a little more kayfabe.
