Eli Drake Says Fans Preferring In-Ring Action To Characters "Is A Plague" In Wrestling Today - Wrestling Inc.

Interesting

 

[trick]

He's right

 

[Playaz Eyez]

Agree with him for the most part. Only thing is though, literally every on the radar fed has characters IN ADDITION TO the in-ring product other than the WWE.

How are those fans a plague? They bytch, but they're the only ones who stay and watch. The plague is that there are no compelling, believable characters left. That's not on the fault of the fans, rather the promotions.

 

[Beautiful Bobby Eatin]

Fans stopped worrying about characters when Vince got shytty at developing them lets be real. He also stopped letting anyone get major shine after Rock left. But I still watch Lucha Underground specifically because of the characters. You cant blame the fans for Vince killing the biz with his greed.

 

[Homer Simpson]

what does that have to do with fans also who is eli drake

 

[8WON6]

The problem is the small minority of IWC nerds that use "workrate" every post on forums became a loud vocal minority. Characters are the reason Lucha Underground is so great. They just commit to the fukkery and actually produce it.

What online popular wrestler doesn’t have a character or tell stories? The two most characterless guys I see are Roman Reigns & Baron Corbin

 

[Norrin Radd]

I think he should be blaming the writers and performers for being terrible at the characters they’re supposed to be writing/acting as instead of the fans.

This guy's idea of a character is being Mr. Anderson 2.0, fukk him and anything he has to say

He's more of a D-Level Rock ripoff more than anything.

Yeah he had a bit of a spark to start with then after a while its like oh hes just another kennedy. To his credit he is better on the mic and has more potential than kennedy but being less sucky isnt much of conciliation

There is some austin during invasion sprinkled in there but all in all its kennedy in the sense he just talks a good game but is incredibly ordinary in the ring, essentially a bill a goods

The two guys at the forefront of Raw. Which is why Raw is so boring. Ziggler and Rollins are bland as fukk too and try too hard to "stand out"...

Oh and Drew....dont let me get started on that cardboard box of a personality
