I'm not a big fan of the WWE's current in-ring product. I used to be a bit of a mark for snowflakes, but in my more mature and alcoholic years I've grown a fondness for simple things like the old-school style of one guy punching another guy in the head and him actually selling it like he got punched in the head. Some guys need to fall for others to stand tall, and it seems like every wrestler in the WWE can kick out of every other wrestler's finishing move.
I paid money to watch a highly commended EVOLVE show a few months ago. It was the one that had a whole bunch of injuries affect the booking, so SoCal Val and her Premiere Athletes or whatever they were called came out and had consecutive matches. I'll give it to the guys -- they all worked really hard and tore it up, but with that being said, I was fatigued by the time the third match came along, and nothing had been built to. Why is my birthday special if you're going to deep-throat me every time?
I know I'm not alone in thinking this way about wrestling in a broad sense, but very often I hear the phrase "Well, at least the wrestling is good," but it can no longer keep my attention because great matches don't mean anything.
