During a recent appearance on Konnan’s Keepin’ It 100 podcast, WWE alumnus Chris Adonis shared his perspective on the current state of the wrestling industry and explained where the priorities should be adjusted.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On the changes to the industry’s focus since his earlier days: “Society is so into clips or Reels now, which really centers around flashy high spots. It had to happen somewhere within the last decade because, when I entered the business in 2005-2006, what mattered to us was … believability and psychology. That’s all we cared about. The high spots were always gonna be there, but they weren’t such a prominent part of the matches and we weren’t neglecting so much of the other stuff.”
On how priorities need to be re-established: “You can talk about how wrestling has changed and evolved and is different but still that is the No. 1 prerogative, and I think we’ve gotten away from that a little bit…. I’m optimistic.”
