I'm not sure if they personally have done this, but I'm getting sick of independent wrestlers who do a whole bunch of meaningless, vapid shit an "evolution of the art form" when they have stripped their matches of all psychology. A cinematic equivalent (and I ususally hate these about wrestling, because they're more than a little different) is removing all plot, character and structure from your film. These guys aren't producing "art," they are producing your latest Michael Bay blockbuster where you can barely tell the fighting robots apart. The Young Bucks might be genuinely aware they are doing that to draw attention to themselves, but they are at least enablers of that vapid style.
I watched the 4 tag title match from Wrestle Kingdom 10, After "More Bang For Your Buck" got the win, I was like "That's it?" As in, how was that series any different from the 7 other major sequences like that we got from them, RPG Vice, Sydal and Ricochet, reDRagon?

Which is what they mean by burying your shit by trying to get it all in.
