Storytelling and wrestling are two of the most important aspects of professional wrestling.
Becky Lynch recently appeared on the Superstar Crossover podcast, where she said storytelling is number one in pro wrestling. Lynch said nobody cares about the wrestlers unless they tell a good story.
“The actual craft is number two. Number one is storytelling, because ain’t nobody going to care what you do in the ring if you have not told the good story. There’s a line that says, ‘A promo is a match, and a match is a promo.’ You tell a story during the match, but to know what the story you’re telling in the match comes before the craft, before the nitty-gritty, before you get down to that. That’s number one, and then the craft of the actual wrestling.”
