Hang on — is AEW actually having Page cut promos on Punk breaking kayfabe by accusing him of structuring his matches like Bret Hart? Fucking idiots.
The drama comes from people emotionally investing in the sincerity of the action. If you shatter the illusion that someone is actually trying to win a match as opposed to putting on a fictional artistic performance, there is no point to the drama. Why have championships? Why ring the bell?
This is Vince Russo shit. It doesn’t make Page more “real.” It makes everything look fake as shit. There are only a select few people who are going to put cash in the collection plate after the preacher tells them God isn’t real.
