May Collection Services Be Utilized In Stories For Wrestling Shows?

By Rob Sutter


I can't help but feel as though the men and women who write for World Wrestling Entertainment do not fully understand how the real world is supposed to work. It almost seems like everything is an exaggeration of how it would unfold in real life, which doesn't make it very believable. Yes, I know that wrestling is full of exaggerations and that's part of the reason why it's so popular. However, suspension of disbelief can only go so far and the idea of collection services coming into storylines is hard to fathom.

Wrestling seems to be home to a number of tired cases and contract signings are just a few to consider. Those who don't watch may not know how these unfold but be certain that when you see one, you have basically seen them all. Two competitors talk to one another in the ring before the eventual signing occurs and when it is done, a fight breaks out for one reason or another. I can't help but think that this kind of process is tired and longtime fans are probably sick of it, too.

Wrestling also seems to take it upon itself to conduct romantic storylines but they oftentimes come across as ridiculous more than genuine. In the case of the former, Divas Champion Kaitlyn is currently in a storyline that involves her trying to find out who her secret admirer is. Let's be honest: how many adults, do you know, actually have secret admirers as if they're still in high school? It's nothing short of insulting to the adult performers who have to play this storyline out until a resolution is eventually reached.

It's because of this that I fear writers in wrestling taking hold of the idea of collection services. I just don't believe that these writers are smart enough to handle all of the details of the business, such as the multitude of services that the business offers. Along with the guidelines that each company has to follow, it seems like the kind of subject that you have to possess some degree of intelligence in order to write for. I just don't feel like wrestling will do companies like Rapid Recovery much justice, if any at all.

I believe that wrestling fans have all of the right in the world to critique the aspects of the spectacle they don't agree with. They know that the performers are capable of working in the ring, so it's not exactly a problem that rests on the shoulders of wrestlers. Instead, I feel like the material they have to work is not conducive to their characters, which results in storylines coming across as rather fragmented. I believe that all fans can see when a storyline will not work.
