Very sporty sports entertainment
May 06, 2010, 05:47 PM
Josh Hachat and Jason Mann's wide-ranging discussion on "Pure Sports Builds" focuses on Brock Lesnar vs. The Rock at WWE Summerslam 2002 and Kurt Angle vs. Samoa Joe at TNA Lockdown 2008. We also talk about how emphasizing wins and losses can make wrestling better, the Gary Cubeta and Larry Matysik St. Louis booking sheets discussions at 57talk.com, how sports entertainment is more passe than “rasslin,” the inflexibility of TNA and WWE, the pitfalls of automatic rematches, stellar training montages, developing in-match strategy through interviews and commentary, cutting down on nonsense and shenanigans and much, much more.
