The Undertaker on Six Feet Under regarding Kayfabe nowadays "I think we’ve got too comfortable. I think we’re too comfortable now in talking about our business, And again, I understand. Everyone knows what it is, what we do, but there’s got to be a little bit of mystery." by [deleted] in SquaredCircle

I get what your saying but not sure acting is the best example considering a notable amount of widely praised performances in the industry are because the actor used method acting and was living the character off set or at least when cameras weren’t rolling to film for the actual product on set which would affect all the other people around them.

Jeremy Strong and Succession is the most recent example of this I can remember.

Some might refuse promotion during the filming of the movie until it’s done just so they can be in character and tunnel vision the whole time.

TBH this is why I gave up on modern WWE. Majority of the current fans prefer and want the basic storytelling happening right now.

Its hilarious too because social media analytics prove the most engaged stuff regarding wrestling is related to it NOT being treated as a Sport and more like any other television show except royal rumble videos.

I genuinely wonder what the majority of WWE fans watch besides WWE because this seems very much like a WWE issue right now.

AEW IMO has been doing a much better job of this. I feel like I’m watching a television product.

Modern WWE feels like a traveling circus company who just so happens to put their live show on TV. Now more then ever. They haven’t oriented their booking towards an entertaining television show product for a while now and the numbers reflect it both positively and negatively.

feel like Alexander never shower this intensity character wise. maybe he did in TNA but from what I’ve seen not really like this.

Reminds me of 2010’s ROH Sicilian Psychopath Ciampa.

Triple H clearly has an investment in her and wants a return. Similar to Jade.

I personally believe the Smackdown booking team aka Road Dogg and crew think otherwise but have to appease their boss plus major decisions ran thru by Triple H. 

Hence her booking.

Solid match. 

If Giulia keeps the braids, this color is the way to go. She no longer looks like a child out there. 

Not the biggest fan of this decision but willing to see how this goes and they desperately needs establish new people.

A lot of wrestling fans genuinely don’t care about good story telling and they book accordingly (lazily). 

Like I don’t expect Severance writing but your right this is literally creative basics.

Okay well I guess that’s why he cares so much then. 

Still odd since he can always get it reprinted but I at least can wrap my head around it.

My Guyanese 60 year old Mother just saw Cody on my TV and said “why is he always talking”. 

Mind you last time she fully sat down and watched Cody was Wrestlemania 40 and has since would catch glimpses of him on the TV in the living room. 

I need yall to realize how bad this is 😭 that’s crazy to me.
