real gang shit
Its not a massive block, but things like football and basketball are a constant framing and reframing of players because its part of the narrative. Sure, if you sign an errant role player free agent, then its not really highlighted beyond "theyre hoping he does this bc of xyz", but thats still more

This, basically. If its a local indy wrestler spot for a tv match, then its fine. If its a signed person who you want to use, its foolish NOT to help contextualize them, their personality, their goals and their general attitude.

Real sports have a pretty constant reminding and framing of who players are - either from college or from another team. Constant talk about expectations, floor/ceiling, why they were drafted/signed - players almost never just show up and its acted like it isnt a thing.

You dont need a whole music video or highlights, but I think that some kind of little segment yhat plays before or during an entrance is valuable and makes them a person instead of a pair of boots.

Roh did this well, filmed interviews before matches to frame their tv stuff.

I think context and framing is never bad. I think that assuming people know them and trusting them to exist until they get a story is silly and antiquated, and some kind of narrative device is literally always more than welcome in wrestling.

I have so many answers, man. The only company to ever ask me for any of them died in the mud like a dog.

speaking personally: I use it to lurk and as an aggregator for information because people still use it. Helpful for Melee and Wrestling updates because Reddit is not terribly reliable to force them to me.

Is it worth the algorithm that prioritizes making you mad? Probably not

I think I was just disappointed because I wanted LIJ shirts like the ones they'd wear in Japan, and not US variants special for the show.

It was 2018/2019, so maybe they got better, but I was so annoyed that they basically weren't stocking Austin 3:16 shirts lol
