Probably, yeah

 

[Indy]

I think everyone's feeding to others nowadays, was different 20 years ago but now everyone's a real pro about that

 

[Indy]

Like, character development is so important. It can make you like that

 

[Indy]

wrestling isn't just wrestling after all

 

[Ring Rust]

Pacing is a real concern too

 

[Indy]

yeah certainly, I think the wrestling business thinks fast is good

 

[Ring Rust]

People don't wanna work a hold for more than 15 seconds nowadays

 

[Indy]

and I mean, it's fun at times, but selling is so important that people just forget

 

[Ring Rust]

There's a difference in selling and playing dead

 

[Indy]

like Rollins vs. Owens at HIAC, Owens continued to work the back and Rollins got him up for a powerbomb

 

[Indy]

in order for wrestling moves to be important, you gotta make them feel important

 

[Indy]

if Owens works the back for 40% of the match and Rollins isn't affected by it, what's the point?

 

[Ring Rust]

Like, every now and then, a match should end suddenly.

 

[Ring Rust]

Via a competent move

 

[Ring Rust]

Exactly.
