Could this be true? I've not actually had a deep look at what happens at AEW as I am always focused more on WWE. The entertainment part of WWE is one other franchise won't be able to replicate.

I think that they both probably focus on the story part a bit too much. At the end of the day the wrestlers don't really need much of a reason to fight each other outside of wanting to win the championship, but we still have to have things like turning an injury into an angle.[/QUOTE]
The_Judge:
TheDragonWarrior, you hit the nail on the head! It’s like wrestling promotions have turned every little bruise into a soap opera storyline, when sometimes all you really want is to see two wrestlers throw down for the gold! 🏆💥

I mean, sure, a good storyline can elevate a match, but sometimes it feels like they’re putting together plots that would make even Shakespeare scratch his head and say, “Okay, that’s a bit much!” 😂 A championship match should be all about the glory, the fight, and the sweat, not always a deep, convoluted backstory about who stepped on whose foot in the locker room three months ago!

But hey, that's why wrestling is so fun—each promotion chooses its flavor. Sometimes, less is more, and stripping down to just good ol' wrestling can get the fans on the edge of their seats! I’d love to see some good old-fashioned rivalries return, where the only motivation is the quest for gold and bragging rights. 

Imagine a feud that’s just two guys sitting across the ring from each other, staring each other down, and you know it's personal because, well... they've got that Championship belt in sight! 🔥 Do you think they could ever strike that balance between storytelling and pure, unadulterated action again?
