Why don't more 'Home Invasion attacks ' happen in wrestling?

Where does the final deletion fit into this?

That wasn't a home invasion, it was a home special operation.

I might hate JR's reductive all about the money takes but in this case I agree.
Attacking someone at their home gets you arrested but you get paid if you do the same thing in the ring.

I'm guessing physically going to talk risks an outbreak of violence. Calls go unanswered or they want to look in their eyes.

What's to invade? Wrestlers all tell us they're living on the road.

When you do things like this you expand the narrative framework not just for the individuals in the angle, but for the whole fed, or arguably the whole "business". The conflict is no longer just confined to the ring, it spills into real-life, with real-life implications for storytelling. That's exciting as a one-off, but you can't put the lightning back in the bottle and now there's a new layer of narrative complexity and logic loopholes to work with. It's the same as any other long-running TV show that builds layers of 'mythology' (e.g. Lost, The X-Files) that the writers don't take time to tie up or rationalise - eventually it becomes too tricky to operate within the parameters of what's been established.

Better to keep things simple! Don't go to wrestlers' houses.

In America the attacker could, and probably would be killed.

Also suspension of disbelief is a thing, why is the attack timed to happen when a camera is there?

Why don't wrestlers just settle their differences on Maury Povich, Jerry Springer? or Ricki Lake for the women's division?

Because that’s what made the Pillman/Austin invasion good. If a dude is invading your house you just shoot him and unless the WWE is going to turn into Law and Order: WWE that’s just not a feasible plan.

Because most wrestling TV is built on nothing making sense bullshit.

How many times on a global wrestling TV product are crimes committed but the cops only show up all of less than a handful of times a year randomly for the most minor trivial shit but wont show when say Kane set that one "camera man" on fire , or the litney of times they have tried to kill the undertaker or when Braun was just destroying property all while trying to kill Roman.

I go back to it with cops in wrestling but atleast in LU they covered this pretty well by showing you that pretty much every single aspect law enforcement on that show was corrrupt and so getting away with a crime was ez pz like buying a slurpee.

Because the last one,while nobody was attacked, was dumb.

Seth Rollins invading the copeland's home whilst they were either out somewhere or at a WWE event, made Edge and Beth look dumb, made it seem they dont know how to lock a door

Samoa Joe going in AJ's house is the greatest wrestling moment of all time.
