Cut three of their longest serving yes men great wrestlers in Kofi, Woods, and Sheamus, and realized “oh shit”. Not surprising them bringing back corbin
Iman Vellani on the statement that Gen Z doesn’t care about superhero movies:
“I don’t agree that Gen Z has stopped caring about superheroes. Maybe they’ve just stopped feeling obligated to show up.
Our generation has grown up with an abundance of superhero stories, so perhaps the novelty has worn off — which is natural.
The bar is higher now. We’re looking for stories that feel specific and emotional — especially in the age of AI. We want honesty from our storytellers. We want our intelligence respected.
If anything, I think Gen Z responds incredibly well to superheroes when they’re treated as people first. The themes of grief, identity, legacy, belonging — they’re timeless and will never age out.
Every genre goes through cycles. Westerns did. Musicals did. Romcoms did. So the answer isn’t to abandon the genre, but to find new stories that only be told through THIS genre.
At the end of the day, I think we just want these films to evolve and grow alongside their audience.”
There is no better metaphor for modern day WWE than an old failed main eventer from years past returning to mess up a feud between 2 young and exciting wrestlers while the crowd forces themselves to enjoy whatever it is they just saw
@psychodriver4 There are so many great women’s wrestlers from that period, hard to even pick just one; Dump, Bull, Chigusa, Kandori, Misami, etc. I just love Aja’s heavyweight style, Asuka was a phenomenal wrestler as well

Things I would like to see less of in wrestling:
Triple threats
Thigh slaps
Weak forearm exchanges
Spots on the edge of the ring
Thigh slaps
Spots of obvious cooperation
When an opponent is running the ropes and they let him pass through the first time
Thigh slaps
