The Wrestling Observer said:
- When management first discussed the idea of WWE going in to the High Definition format, there was worry among a lot of people in the company. HD is considerably better quality and WWE are unsure how it will portray their product on TV, especially when it comes to the "fakeness" that is somewhat covered up by the lower quality production.

The main concern is how the new quality will reveal older wrestler's appearance. Shawn Michaels and Ric Flair are a particular concern. If WWE had the choice they would stay in the old format, but times are changing and as a business they must adapt.

Of course they deliver live events every day without any problems, it's just change is always hard to accept and there are a few butterflies.

Fuck the little kids tbh. Their gunna learn sooner or later. What is seriously so hard about coming out of the closet so to speak and just tell people we are fake?

WWE already made jokes about balding HBK. HHH jokes about it in the DX video on going HD.

Lol, I remember WWE photoshopped a picture in which you could see the bald in HBK.

No, you are not wrong. What I have a problem with is why they have to try and cover it up like it's actually real. I mean seriously. They even come out sometimes and sarcastically say "entertainment". So why the fuck cant they just come out and say it?

Because if you tell people its fake, it makes it harder to suspend disbelief, especially for an 8 yo.

So when Vince came back after the Benoit ordeal, and gave no explanation it was hard to suspend disbelief?

Fucking exactly. The night of the Benoit episode, he said that his actions weren't even close to what is really going on. Now tell me what an 8 yr old is thinking at that point when he sees McMahon back on TV after supposedly being killed.

Exactly.
