What are some of the problems facing the Wrestling World right now?

**FBI mark** · 02-14-2007, 11:24 PM

I have been watching the TPWW wrestling forums for some time now and have resisted the erge to post a thread. There have been numerous
topics that I have read, alot of re-treds like the montreal screw job (okay lets not go there) and more currently the state of wrestling.

I want to discuss the latter topic, the current state of pro-wrestling. First of all the term should be viewed as pro-wrestling and not sports entertainment. Sports entertainment is a vague term and the whole use of the word entertainment seems to create an animus towards wrestling tradition. This seems ironic since the WWE has a monopoly on wrestling and claims to promote the rich pro-wrestling heratige threw its 24/7 cable tv product.

Anyway, what are your views on the problems facing pro-wrestling these days?

What are some solutions towards fixing the state of pro-wrestling?

I believe one major problem lies in the innability for the creation of a strong mid-card, which in turn would likely lead to the healthy development of new stars. I believe wrestlers are pushed to fast, examples of this are Bobby Lashley, Randy Orton, and even the aformentoned Brock Lesnar. Also the art of psychology is lost dew to shorter matches and more spotfests.The remedy, longer matches ,better booking,and limited high spots. [/CAnyway what does everyone else have to say on this topic?
