D-Von Dudley criticized modern wrestling's reliance on flashy moves over storytelling during an appearance on the Krazy Train podcast, arguing that many indie wrestlers fail to reach NXT or the main roster because they lack fundamental knowledge of how the business works.

Wilson pointed out that wrestling's biggest stars like Steve Austin, The Rock, Roman Reigns, Triple H, and Bret Hart didn't rely on moves like moonsaults or jumping off the top rope to become legends and pack arenas. He compared wrestling to a circus where different performers can entertain audiences in various ways, stating "I will always believe that story — storytelling — beats everything."

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.

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."
