I can’t see how it would impact the product negatively at this point but that’s already so strangely inconsequential to the actual business. Even the “big moments” are just guys who got over elsewhere or in a different era simply competing.
I am curious what WWE completely bereft of “wrestling guys” would look like. It would take a while. The new regime wouldn’t just come in and clean house of the McMahons and Prichards of the world who still have some understanding of the bare bones basics that make wrestling wrestling. But eventually those people will be gone and they’ll slowly be replaced with “entertainment people”.
It’s not a hopeful curiosity but I am curious what the evolution of today’s wrestling with fewer links to the stuff that “worked” in the past might entail.
