Pro wrestling is the hottest it’s been in nearly 30 years with WWE taking production levels to the next level, AEW bringing in international and veteran talent, while TNA, Major League Wrestling, Game Changer Wrestling and Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling have been among the promotions receiving increased attention in North America.

With the rise comes various styles of booking, matchmaking and storytelling. Some companies build up monthslong storylines that culminate in epic finishes, some put together once-in-a-lifetime dream matches and others make matches based on the skill sets that are available.

Most of it is wonderful to watch.

Eric Bischoff, the pro wrestling legend who worked for World Championship Wrestling at the height of the industry in the 1990s, told Fox News Digital in a recent interview what he’d like to see more of in the sport.

"I think in order for any form of entertainment, whether its wrestling, movies, hell, books, even infomercials for that matter, the storytelling is everything, and the characters, the character development," Bischoff said. "So, I would like to see more emphasis put on storytelling and perhaps less emphasis put on some of the ‘highly athletic and very fun-to-watch wrestlers inside of the ring.’ When the moves don’t mean anything, and they don’t really create any emotion, that’s like watching gymnastics floor exercise for me."

Of course, Bischoff added, that’s no disrespect to gymnasts and their athleticism, which he greatly appreciates.
