Austin, the Rock, Triple H, Undertaker; all of these people made the attitude era, and it was all down to their gimmicks and entertainment factor, not their wrestling ability, the wrestling was just the icing on the cake. The story is what matters in the WWE.

Always liked Russo, and he's spot on about wrestling in a lot of ways. As much as I love a good match, there's way too much focus on having good matches for the sake of good matches, and not enough on having a believable, realistic conflict. I've always felt that WWE in particular would put the focus on the matches to cover up for their bad booking, and that's especially apparent now. Matches are about the only thing they don't really mess up.

@Thecallmemisterajp

That's true, and matches are an important piece of the puzzle, but there are a lot of things that get tossed out of the window when guys are chasing that five-star match designation. Nuances of how a Roddy Piper, a Mick Foley, or a Bruiser Brody would approach a match when compared to a Bret Hart, vs a Flair or HBK vs a Yokozuna or someone aren't really emphasized as much anymore as people seem to have this stock idea of what makes a match good and strive for that. I think that's one reason Brock really got over in 2014-15. They booked him in even-Steven matches with guys like HHH and Punk that had lots of give and take between both guys, because that's what people come to expect in great matches. But as a result, he lost some luster. But now, he's booked as the monster he truly is, and his matches are still great, but more for the spectacle of watching him destroy people than to see him try to force an epic. It's Brock being Brock -- the match comes second.

Agreed, that's why I hate the current state of wrestling. Too much emphasis on kicks and high spots, not nearly enough focus on character development, storytelling, promos, and build, which are the real draws rather than the matches themselves. It's a huge reason guys like Sami Zayn, The Revival, DIY, Undisputed Era, Ricochet, Aleister Black, even guys like Balor and Styles either flop big time or have success in kayfabe but completely fail to draw any money. There's simply nothing to them other than "oh, look at me, I can do a bunch of spots!" AND?! The average mainstream fan doesn't care how many spots and kicks you can do, or even if you're that good a wrestler. The mainstream audience cares about the personalities, storylines, and build. THOSE are the things that draw money.

This is a really good interview, if anything I wish Brian said more of what was on his mind instead of pushing towards the next question.

He says at 3:24 that wrestling today is not what he grew up on in the 70s but at 5:19 he says that they went back to 1970's wrestling. He couldnt go 2 minutes without lying. two fucking minutes.
