So, there are a lot of basic assumptions and thoughts that wrestling fans and the general public have about this fine game of ours. I thought it might be interesting to ask you guys a question: If you could change wrestling fans in a certain way to make them react to something differently, how would you do it? Like, are there basics of the way people react to wrestling you wish you could change?
I would try and make people understand that indy wrestling is the default state of wrestling. 90 percent of wrestling shows look like indy shows. In small, not that well lit buildings where the characters and the grappling are what you go to see and not the "production values" and whatnot. I'd do this because I feel like wrestlers and indeed, entire companies sometimes, get dismissed for being "too indy". In film, independent film isn't dismissed this way. Indy movies have a really important purpose. They're looked at as just a different part of filmmaking and not automatically inferior to the hollywood blockbuster. We need that view.
What about you guys?
