WWE Producer TJ Wilson Warns Modern Wrestlers About Receiving Fewer Matches

TLDR

WWE Producer TJ Wilson has expressed concerns about modern wrestlers receiving significantly fewer matches compared to past generations, citing that LA Knight led WWE with only 64 matches last year while independent wrestlers often work around 100 matches annually. Wilson explained that this reduction in ring time, caused by fewer live events, limits wrestlers' opportunities to develop skills through repetition, with some WWE talent getting as few as 15 matches per year. He emphasized that while the lighter schedule isn't anyone's fault and may be easier on wrestlers' bodies, it creates a significant disadvantage for long-term skill development since "the only way to get better at wrestling is to wrestle."
