Where is Keith Lee?
He was recovering from an injury. I know he posted he was close to a return on social media a while ago.
Are wrestling fans now so hypercritical that they simply can't enjoy wresting anymore? I'm reminded of the online discourse in the early/mid 2010s where RAW would have an awesome trios match between the Shield and the Wyatt Family or an incredible 25+ minute main event between Charlotte and Sasha Banks, but all anyone would talk about afterwards is how Alexa Bliss made Bailey look stupid in their promo segment or how John Cena 'totally buried' the latest NXT callup by beating them in an excellent US title challenge match. Nowadays it's even worse, because it doesn't matter what happens; someone will complain, and that voice gets amplified regardless of what they're complaining about. Cena wins - "Cena wins LOL! WWE bad!!!" Cena loses - "Cena disrespected by WWE! He should go to AEW!!!" Gunther wins - "Why does Gunther get the win over Cena instead of [MyFavoriteWrestler]? HHH sucks!!!" Gunther loses - "Why won't they put over the young guys and make new stars? This is why WWE is doomed!!!" It is exhausting to be part of a fandom where complaints and hyperbole are all that gets amplified, and people who seemingly don't enjoy wrestling dominate the conversation about it.
What you are describing is a societal problem. It’s not exclusive to wrestling. There are lot of less than bright people who give instant hot takes and have no concept of the bigger picture. That doesn’t mean that they are always wrong, but they are rarely fair or nuanced. At the end of the day, you have the choice of who you want to listen to. Make that choice wisely. I never hear any of the discourse you are talking about because I don’t waste my time on reactionary people.
How many times does Drew McIntyre have to lose a title match before he doesn't get another ?
Only the booker can tell you that number.
I read what William Regal wrote about wrestlers doing dumb things to their bodies, such as getting dumped on their head. You have said the same thing for decades. Why is it that wrestlers can’t see the potential for damage that they do to their bodies with the dangerous and stupid moves that they do?
Some aren’t deep thinkers. Some just like doing the crazy stuff and think that they are invincible. I guess some may even have some form of a death wish. I would love to see WWE and AEW institute a system to really penalize anyone who does any move where they or their opponent land on their head. Large fines may be the way to go. Sadly, a lot of wrestlers need to be protected from themselves.
