5 Things WWE Cinematic Matches Should NOT Do (And 5 Things They SHOULD Do)

The biggest advantage to the cinematic style is that creativity can be taken to higher levels (more on that further down the list), but this doesn’t mean that writers can abandon reason and expect viewers to run with it. Cinema already exists, and with it comes certain expectations.

Wrestling is indeed strange when you think about it. Able-bodied men and women get dropped on their heads every week, only to get back up and fight. They endlessly change their personalities and their morals. They decide for seasonal segments to adopt an exclusive hatred or admiration for another competitor. It’s not like real life.

That said, having Aleister Black and Rey Mysterio survive being thrown off the top of a bloody tower and submerging Braun Strowman in a swamp for a duration long enough to warrant drowning (he's back and cutting angry promos only a handful of weeks later) is pushing the realms of realism just a little more than is tolerable.

If it's too unrealistic for Hollywood, then the same should probably go for WWE.
