It's not backstage segments in general I have a dislike of. If Wrestler X is walking down the hall and accidentally bumps into Wrestler Y to start a meaningless short feud or if Wrestler X chased Wrestler Y into the locker-room after getting pinned through nefarious means, or Wrestler X attacks Wrestler Y during a promo...I don't have a problem with these, never have.
I'm merely talking about the more abstract angles that push the suspension of disbelief a bit too much for me and/or don't have anything to do with wrestling.
Like if Wrestler X's gimmick is that he's a wannabe popstar and he sings in the ring or breaks into song during his promos, I'm cool.
When Wrestler X has a segment where he goes to the recording studio to make an album and it's done without a match in mind, I'm less thrilled.
When wrestler x then gets a recording contract and his new manager doesn't want him to wrestle in case he injures his throat and has long conversations with the GM about...you know while I was trying to make a point about hating silly soap opera angles I kind of made one I love.
Fuck.
