Dumb stories are less annoying to me because I have lower expectations for wrestling as a whole at this point due to not caring about it as much anymore (and I don't actually follow super closely so I don't end up sitting through every shit segment anyway). Meanwhile things that make it harder to buy into pro wrestling play into my feelings that maybe I just don't like the medium itself. So a bigger wrestling fan is willing to let fundamental stuff like the rules slide because they're still invested in the genre but individual stories piss them off for producing shitty segments, while I'm less bothered by shit segments since I have lower expectations but the fundamental stuff pushes me away from the medium as a whole and I'm not willing to engage in the suspension of disbelief that pro wrestling requires.That makes sense, yeah. I think I'd still be inclined to argue that no matter how much something like AEW reffing breaks suspension of disbelief, the Fiend still does it worse, but I do get where you're coming from. --- https://imgur.com/UYamul2 Spurs - Yankees - Eagles - Golden Knights ...
