10 ways in which the internet has killed pro-wrestling

#9 Backstage information getting leaked

We’ve all heard the stories involving altercations between the professional wrestlers and the fans. The wrestling fans have always been an inquisitive bunch. Once they were in the presence of a wrestler, they took it upon themselves to gauge their strength, and see for themselves if the wrestlers were legitimately tough, or if it was all indeed just an act.

The fact that the Superstars backstage understood that they were a family and had to protect themselves and the business brought a sense of camaraderie that we rarely get to see anymore.

Unlike today, where there are multiple “moles” in the companies, who share information about what happens backstage, the wrestlers presented a united front, regardless of the animosity they might have had internally.
