Snow points out that there used to be a simple 4-step approach to laying out a match. Now when he’s backstage at shows he sees 7 steps written out on whiteboards, with all the talents using the exact same formula. He says that wrestling should be like sex – taking the fans on an emotional ride before climaxing at the end.
He also points out that today’s performers seem to lack the ability to work on the fly in the ring. Instead, they all script out their matches in the backstage area and simply execute those spots one by one when they get in the ring. By doing that, the performer is never emotionally invested because they’re always thinking about the next spot.
That sums up today’s episode of The Steve Austin Show Unleashed. You can listen to the show yourself anytime here, and I’ll catch ya next week for another recap!
