Wrestlers working less stiff?

    Have WWE told their wrestlers to go softer on their offence? Some recent segments have looked really really poor, particularly Shane destroying Legacy and Matt Hardy beating down Helms. The quality of the offensive work (mostly the punches) was piss poor and I'm half thinking this is a part of WWE's scaling down to a PG rating. It really has looked bad and I was thinking if I myself was a wrestler I sure as hell would want to be hit harder, even in the face than what I'm seeing on TV at the moment. Even Kane who works stiffly and usually destroys people with his punches has held back slightly It's really detracting from the WWE product because it's hard to suspend belief when you see Shane McMahon tickling guys with his punches.

    The reason why Shane looked so bad is because he's not a wrestler and he's not fit

    When WWE went to HD they told guys to work more snug, so that it wouldn't look as fake

    Have you only seen two examples of this?

    Yeah two major examples but other isolated incidents here and there. tbh I would consider Shane a wrestler, he's worked often enough in the past to be considered one and Legacy should have allowed him to stiff them.

    When was the last time Shane wrestled? He's not a wrestler. You can't expect him to go out and perform as good as the guys doing it four nights a week

    Because it looks good and it might have improved that sh1tty angle by making the beatdown look real.

    Well they hired Low Ki so they can't be that into the less stiff malarky if it's true
