| Re: The internet ruined wrestling
On a personal level it's made me alot more interested in the 'backstage' & the 'behind the scenes' workings of wrestling, but I don't think we know as much as we think we do, you have to actually be in the business to be properly smart, infact often i'd even rather watch an interesting shoot interview than an actual match.
Another positive for me is that i've known when indy shows have been on & where, I wouldn't have known otherwise, infact like others have said I wouldn't know about non WWE/TNA wrestling or wrestling of the past otherwise, especially thanks to YouTube.
In the grand sceme of things I think it has been detrimental though, like Bobby Heenan says; "The magic is over", now that may be a little much but it hasn't benefited anyone other than smart marks, I think the business in the major leagues was better before the 90's/00's. It has without a doubt added to the recent downfall of pro wrestling. |
