General Chit-Chat Thread - No Spoilers

The internet killed kayfabe, but you can still present larger than life characters. WWE chooses not to. Lucha Overground actually kinda did for a while. Problem was its taped nature and money troubles.

 

[Kingnoth1n]

the problem is the niche audience that's left doesn't want that for some bizarre reason

 

[Kingnoth1n]

they are more focused on geeky workrate

 

[Smart Marx]

u think Austin vs McMahon would have been as effective if they were on twitter breaking character?

No, I wouldn't have Austin and McMahon tweeting each other, but that doesn't mean Kayfabe wouldn't still be dead for most of the fans anyway.

 

[Hoss]

Yeah I would love for wrestlers to always maintain kayfabe online at least

 

[Kingnoth1n]

some shouldn't even be online.

 

[Kingnoth1n]

Braun

 

[Hoss]

Documentaries and shit like that I don't really care if they break kayfabe and "expose the business"

 

[Chris]

Braun has a whole pooping app tho

 

[Smart Marx]

I think the majority still prefers characters and angles. The Rusev/Lana stuff you derided gets the most views on YouTube. WWE just stopped trying to cater to them for a while.

 

[Kingnoth1n]

Fuck that

 

[Kingnoth1n]

I didn't say that it was bad though? My point was they derail storylines

 

[Kingnoth1n]

like if ur going to put it on tv

 

[Kingnoth1n]

make it mean something...fuck you got how many ppl on the roster? If you cant make it mean something, get it the fuck out.

 

[Kingnoth1n]

I remember being literally into every single storyline during the attitude era...and I was like 15 at the time, grown enough to have the veil lifted.
