Because what I love about professional wrestling is passion; guys who go out there and give it their all every night, without being dulled down by bullshit politics and taking great lengths to make matches "slower."
Fuck Triple H, Batista, and Hulk Hogan. So what if they draw money? They've got the power train known as the WWE behind them, and a million 15 years and younger fans (or at least with the same mentality of) who buy into their idiotic storylines. But there's nothing real or passionate about it.
Watch AJ Styles vs. Christopher Daniels' first Iron Man Match. It's a classic and you can tell that both men are out there in that ring giving every fucking ounce of strength they've got. And why? Not for the money. Not to please the boss. They go out there and put on kick ass performances every fucking night for fans like me who appreciate their effort to give me my money's worth.
I haven't ordered a WWE PPV in months, because with shitty PPV after shitty PPV, I absolutely refused to give them another dollar of my money. And their shows are headlined by "larger than life" superstars like Batista, John Cena, Triple H, Undertaker and Big Show - and they go out there and put on dead matches that look like they're scripted punch-for-punch. There's nothing passionate about them, and they're making thousands of dollars for wrestling in front of millions of hungry fans.
Then you've got guys like Jack Evans, Homicide, Samoa Joe, AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels, Austin Aries, Alex Shelley, and so many others who perform in front of one-hundredth of the fans that the WWE's superstars are in front of, and they put their bodies on the line every night in five star matches that send us home happy.
The fact of the matter is that as Society changes, so does Wrestling. People aren't interested in slower styles and big hulking monsters punching each other into oblivion anymore. This isn't the fucking 80's. This is the year 2006. And in 2006, the new breed of professional wrestling is going to emerge, and it's going to either A) leave the WWE in it's dust, or B) force the WWE to change its style to today's standards.
John Cena vs. JBL doesn't even compare to Christopher Daniels vs. AJ Styles. And it never will.
