Is it business as usual?
Sorry for another Hardy-related thread, but I was thinking about this thanks to the "Byte This" thread, and it got me wondering: How different is this? I mean, wrestlers are celebrities. Maybe not to the same extent as Tom Cruise, but they're used to being under scrutiny. Hell, wrestlers have been threatened, assaulted, stalked, etc. Obviously this is all guesswork, as none of us are Matt Amy or the Blowup doll...Errr..Edge.

Business as usual, hard, or somewhere in between?

“There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.”

Matt. Lita. Edge.

Is it any more difficult to be running through this angle, having their dirty laundry aired everywhere, acting out a gimmick based on their real life, than any other "job" in wrestling?

Or is this just another day at the office for the Three Amigos?

Or, will I be Hassaned?

Did anyone notice the look on Lita's face when they came to the ring after the initial attack? Perhaps it is just me, but she did look legit uncomfortable. Perhaps its her great acting? Edge mind you seemed to be rolling with it.

What I would find hard is being Matt and not wanting to throw a legit punch or work really stiff during the fight segments.

God those two perhaps so close together looks awful. And yes I was joking about Lita's acting ability for any who may think otherwise.

Well, it's not business as usual. The WWE is going that extra mile to cater to fans with the internet. Not necessarily smarks, but any retard with a computer, as has been said. I watched Byte This last night, and although I called it that Matt was going to be on in the chat, it seemed like an actual storyline. I believe that wrestlers on the show usually act somewhat out of character, but Lita and Matt were completely in character.

No, this is not business as usual, if it was, we would have never heard anything about Matt after he was supposably fired.

I'm thinking that at the beginning it didn't start off as business but legit.

But then over the course of time which brings us to the now it is nothing more than strictly business, with some legit stuff tossed in here and there.

I mean Lita is no great actor, I mean actress, so you know, if she's looking rather uncomfy and crap then it isn't too much all business. And then on Byte This! with just the way she looked when she walked off like that. Almost looked like she wanted to either cry or rip Matt's head off.

So to an extent it is just business, but to another extent it goes beyond business.
