Chris Jericho explains why the most important thing in wrestling will always be storytelling.
While speaking on WTF with Marc Maron, Chris Jericho shared his insights on the significance of wrestling to him and how a wrestler can distinguish themselves from others. He then explained what’s the most important thing in pro wrestling, which is storytelling.
”Wrestling is all character. The moves are important, and the matches are exciting, but you have to connect with the audience. It’s just like comedy, or acting, or anything. You have to connect with the audience. If you can do that to a high level, the audience will pay to see you, and they’ll be interested in what you’re doing
That’s the number one thing of wrestling — it’s storytelling. There’s gonna be some crazy matches, [where] the athleticism is through the roof, but the stories behind them are the most important thing.”
