The Workrate Trap: Why Great Wrestling is Ruining Wrestling TV

The Workrate Trap: Why Great Wrestling Is Ruining Wrestling TV Part 1. KG Landry, Robert Boisclair A.K.A. Robbie Idol, and Michael McCurdy A.K.A. The Grizzled Vet go beyond the matches to debate a major question facing professional wrestling today: Is the pursuit of five-star matches actually hurting wrestling television, or is great in-ring wrestling still one of the most important things keeping fans engaged?
