Young Bucks matches are absolutely fine, and aren't any less crazy or standout than most modern matches with big spots these days, and this includes other companies, and even WWE being involved in the conversation. Literally nothing they do to me stands out as "Kayfabe kIlling" as much as it always has been them being over the top, which is the whole point As for the Cassidy quip? Some of ya'll really expose yourselves on here when you bring him into the conversation. Nothing he does is kayfabe killing. No one actually ever sells his kicks, and when he actually wrestles, he WRESTLES. The entire gimmick is mind games, this has been thoroughly shown to the audience over and over again. But some people would rather be content about the fact he puts his hands in his pockets and therefore he is "killing the business" or something, it's honestly more embarrassing than the presumption that Orange Cassidy is tbh. People thinking his gimmick is embarrassing isn’t “exposing themselves” nor does it mean they don’t understand the gimmick. Your different interpretation isn’t the correct one just because it’s a positive one. No but calling it kayfabe killing shows an arrogance to how his matches work. There's nothing supernatural happening and people aren't selling his comedy spots. It's the same kind of entertainment that has existed in wrestling for decades. That's not even getting into how some wrestlers destroyed kayfabe before OC was even born.

I would be way less bothered by run ins if anyone could get through a f***ing promo. There are two ways to guarantee you don't get interrupted in a promo - make a video package instead or have Brandon film it and even that is iffy.
Any time it is a live interview you may as well stop listening until someone else's music hits or the lights go out

You're mad that wrestlers interfere in each other's matches and interrupt promos?
Have you ever even watched a pro wrestling show prior to now? Or are you like twelve year old me watching it on TV on the reg for the first time?

When they happen EVERY PROMO it starts to become ridiculous, not to mention they all lose their impact and run together. Promo interruptions mean something when they're not "supposed" to happen--if they become routine, they mean less. This is like Booking 101 here.

Thing is, they all led to something.
Britt was to allign her with Cole/Superkliq/ReDragon. Something she desperately needed as running through everyone herself was getting stale.
Archer was to establish Hangman's next challenger
I guess Lethal wasn't needed, but I'm guessing Lio is AWOL, who knows.
Malakai was to introduce Brody.
So yeah, they could have cut down but they all developed towards something.

Per Rampage, it looks like Lethal wants Starks FTW belt, they're trying to establish the belt as a coveted title in the midcard finally

Oh, thank God, that's what we need--another mid-card belt.

The FTW title has been a present belt for over a year and a half now, it's just been seldom defended The TNT is an upper card belt too, if they arent gonna introduce Trios Titles yet, then yes, Team Taz should probably build the belt up to mean more.

One or 2 interruptions a show is fine but it does get exhausting to see it over and over. There are other ways to advance storylines

Or are you like twelve year old me watching it on TV on the reg for the first time? That depends, are you deliberately not reading what is actually being said, which is that every promo being interrupted and every match having a run in is monotonous? If every match ended in a chair shot, or a 450 splash, or a count out, or a DQ it would be equally monotonous.

Brody was going to debut last week, truly unfortunate that Fenix got injured so they moved it to this week

While we're on the subject since it's peripherally related, someone please stop letting Tony Khan near the lights so he can stop turning them off constantly. It was kind of understandable in the early days when they were still kind of finding their footing on things and the production was ass but after three years we don't need the lights to completely go out basically any time anyone does anything, it feels like complete amateur hour.

Again, to reference WWE, in booking next to nothing week-to-week trying to create shows that are ostensibly unpredictable, it has made them entirely predictable.

There being like 30 people around ringside during the Cole vs. Trent match was kind of absurd honestly. And of course it was another brawl.
