5- Fan Expectation
Ultimately, all of this sums up to the overall fan expectation. Many fans in the modern era have ravenous desires, looking for the next high-risk spot instead of enjoying the ride of a match that starts slower and builds a climax that leaves most emotionally involved. Oftentimes, matches are evaluated as mediocre because the type of moves and holds that should have been saved for the end, occur in the beginning

This extinguishes the desire to invest in a match and dilutes the overall outcome. If I see a signature or finishing move in the beginning or middle of the match, why would I be equally intrigued to see it again compared to seeing it for the first time in the end? The overall structure of a match is the defining component to increase the narrative leading into a match, as well as build the necessary climax to end it.
If I am watching a duel between Spiderman and the Green Goblin and the big fight happens in the beginning with all the ebbs and flows involved, it virtually kills the plot leading to the grand showdown. However, this nuance is becoming dangerously extinct from storylines and matches that fans see, which has created a bar in which people chant "Boring!" when there are not a series of flips and false finishes throughout the match.
A superior match brings art, theatre, drama, suspense, and good wrestling to the ring, and wraps in all in one to leave fans cheering. The match-making has drastically changed the expectation, which has caused those in the ring to change the way a match is narrated at the expense of a higher risk of injury.
