I'm just saying you're a purist like my former colleague Tim, who has great difficulty distinguishing between exhibition and official events, what's driving both types. This is an exhibition in the sense that it has no meaning past just wrestling... as long as they do that, what more can anyone ask for? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stop trying to pivot away from the topic. Why is it so detrimental to add an incentive for scoring and action, even if it's at the expense of technicality, in a just-for-fun event card - particularly one where guys won't really be going as hard as they would during OTTs? Or is that an issue from your purist vista also? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
