What happened to the days when a finishing move actually finished a match? Wrestling fans have witnessed a dramatic shift in how performers sell impact, and it's fundamentally changing the viewing experience.
The Big Brothers of Destruction dive deep into wrestling's lost art of selling. From John Cena's five consecutive Attitude Adjustments failing to end matches to Jon Moxley absorbing unimaginable punishment only to pop up moments later unfazed, the hosts break down how this diminishes the storytelling that makes wrestling compelling.
Money in the Bank 2024 exemplifies these problems – a predictable show where Seth Rollins stood as the only legitimate main-eventer in the men's ladder match. R-Truth's surprising "release" and return created a rare genuine moment of surprise, while Becky Lynch capturing the Intercontinental Championship raises questions about title prestige and building new stars. Meanwhile, the women's division appears headed toward a predictable path with Naomi's briefcase win likely setting up a future confrontation with Jade Cargill.
The conversation extends into fascinating territory comparing TKO/WWE's talent acquisition strategy to WCW's approach of plucking established stars, while AEW struggles with marathon shows that fail to advance storytelling. The hosts also celebrate TNA's milestone 60th Monsters Ball match, a brutal stipulation historically dominated by Abyss.
What's the solution to wrestling's selling crisis? Can the industry return to making each move matter? Join us as we examine what might save wrestling psychology before finishers become just another move in a wrestler's arsenal.
