Do You Agree with Taker That Wrestlers These Days Dont Protect Their Character?

[ChristmasFnatic]

“I do think a lot of our talent, not just our talent, in general they don’t understand any concept of protecting a character or even developing a character enough to protect it. They go and do something on TV and then you go to their social media and it’s completely different. I’m a dinosaur, I am, my mentality is still 20 years ago, but I guess there is a reason why I lasted as long as I did. I was like, ‘gosh live it a little bit. You don’t have to go to the extremes that I did, but man protect it.’ Kinda be like in real life just a little bit. If you’re going to post something, have it match kinda what you’re trying because that’s what you’re trying to convince people. You’re this or you’re that.”

Not sure I fully agree. Even 20 years ago guys weren't protecting character.

The Cliq at MSG incident was over 20 years ago.

Back in the 80's Hacksaw Jim Duggan and The Iron Sheik made the news for getting pulled over on the NJ turnpike and the cops found ******* in the Sheik's shaving kit. C'mon these guys were on screen brutal enemies and they were caught driving together.

Internet wasn't in full swing when Cliq did that, I don't think they would have 10 years later.

It's just like politics. They're mortal enemies on camera, best friends off camera. Very few people, like MJF, lives their gimmick.
