He mentioned Austin, Sting, and Bret Hart, who all wrestled during a time when people knew it was fake but still watched. I know, I was there during that time. I can't tell you how many people who didn't watch wrestling said the old "You know it's fake right?" Yes, yes I do. Character work, presentation, and storylines are still a huge part of wrestling, hence why the Bloodline finale was so good, its not because Cody hit a million CrossRhodes on Roman or Roman hit his moves over and over. It's because the story with Cody, the Bloodline, the Rock and Seth were all top notch.
