Then need to truly can the Authority/GM style angles for a while and return to have individual programs between wrestlers (or tag teams) that are to do with their own feuds rather than all feuds being effectively with or against those in charge.

Was looking for this earlier. I couldn't seem to find it on iTunes. Not sure why as all the others are there.
He's basically said exactly why he left and won't be coming back hasn't he?
Listened to Jericho's Podcast with Paige the other day. All interesting stuff.
Yes, and it's an eye opener. No doubt he's being 100% honest as well.

SO why did he leave?

Will definitely give it a listen when I can find it!
It's really worth listening to the podcast. Came down to being badly hurt over a long period of time and being treated poorly in terms of booking.
There's an element of bitterness in what he's saying (to put it mildly) but it's 100% honesty and to be fair pretty much anyone in his situation would have left.

Alright lads. I've seen this thread rumbling along for some time and I've always wondered a few things.
Now I loved the ol' WWF when I was about 10. Proper camp though innit. Rick Flair and Randy Savage and all that.
So what's the deal? Is it all staged, the results etc? Not denying the athleticism of the wrestlers, but its all a big pantomime, right? The outcome of the matches is all decided before, yeah?

Yes, completely fake, all set up before hand.
But the moves they do legit hurt etc.
It's not as camp as the early 90s, but it's not far off. Think of it as Eastenders meets UFC and you're there in terms of what pro wrestling actually is - contact sport mixed with scripted drama.

Exactly as you put it at the bottom mate.
It's just like a soap opera but people settle their differences by battering each other with a chair, sometimes in a steel cage. Everything is scripted, stories last ages, or not sometimes, and yes matches are choreographed so they know who is winning it before they start.

How you getting on with it mate? Recommend it?

Aye it is fake. The outcome is predetermined and it is only the flow of the matches that are real. moves are done to protect the wrestler at all costs so for example a move directly on someones neck will not hit the ground etc
For me it is like coronation street. You know its fake but the storyline and acting is what you watch for. dont really watch the 'wrestling' part of it
