any wrestling.
As a wrestling fan, if I want to watch wrestling, I expect it to be wrestling. I'd like to know why wrestling fans in this era want it to be anything but wrestling.

In the "golden age", the ratio was about 80-90% wrestling/10-20% interviews. In this era its 80-90% skits/10-20% wrestling.

How is that acceptable to wrestling fans?

I think that's the point, a lot of fans would like more wrestling and less talking etc. Like I said, segments and interviews are fine if they're actually entertaining and unfortunately a lot of time, they fall flat.

But I don't think there's many fans who want just wrestling. I mean, nowadays fans know it's scripted so storylines and such can make it more interesting, instead of just watching a show consisting entirely of matches with outcomes we know are pre-determined. If people wanted just wrestling and nothing else, they'd watch 'proper' wrestling. But I think people want the mix of wrestling and entertainment. Today, things are leaning more to the 'entertainment' side and there doesn't seem to be loads of fans out there who 'embrace' it. I think the majority of fans over 15 or whatever would like to see a change...
